Main new thing appears to be support for bluetooth GPS pucks. I'll let you know how well it works after the QSTARZ BT-Q818 I just bought on sleazebay arrives. It's supposed to be able to read the positional data from the bluetooth serial port profile connection and show you where you are on the map. Which if it does that, that is all I want. I don't need turn-by-turn directions, I just want to know where the heck I am and use the POI features of Google Maps (i.e. find nearest Starbucks...).
There are a couple of other new things - the menu is getting longer with each release. But since I can't remember what menu options I had before upgrading yesterday, I'm guessing the other new stuff is the real-time-traffic info? I don't recall seeing that before.
You'd think Google would publish release notes someplace, but i can't find any. Hey, what do you expect for FREE?
