Nothing is get wrong, most probably your nuvi has type B GPS chipset.
My Nuvi 200W US model, GPS software v3.00s
My Nuvi 200W Taiwan Model, GPS softare v2.90m,
both of my Nuvi with different GPS chipset type.
for above, Taiwan model is using MTK chipset,
US model using sirf chipset.

For Type B, most probably is B=Bravo Garmins own chipset

Changes from version 5.70 to version 6.00:

Corrected an issue that could cause units to not work properly with Mac computers.
Corrected an issue that could cause stuttering when using pre-recorded voices.
