EDIT: just found out that this release includes new firmware to put the GPS chipset into a different mode ... making better use of the sensitive GPS antenna in the x10 Tom Toms. This finally activates the ‘QuickGPsFix’ feature where the position of satellites is downloaded to the unit, resulting in a quicker GPS fix. See:

Downloaded the new 6.520 software for the x10 series Tom Toms yesterday. Interesting that this release seems specific to the model, the last one displayed as "for 510/710/910". There are updated speed camera files too.
The plug-in TMC (free traffic info.) receiver is available in the UK now, rrp £69.99:

Presumably support for this is the main component of the new software version.
I see the 910 picked up another "Best Satnav" award too:
