Nuvi 7xx Undocumented Feature

There's not much documented in the 200 manual, but that's one of the few things that is. I'm surprised it's not in the 700's manuals.

Glad you found that feature.

For those who have the 7xx series, this is documented on the Preface page i of the manual.

That is cool, I never knew that you could do that, it works on the 350 as well. But I wish it didn't take as long of a hold as it does. nevertheless, cool find.

That feature also works in the 6xx nüvi series. A handy thing to know when buried deep into subfolders.

I was under the impression that feature was built into all of the Garmin units. I knew about that from the start. I beleive it was documented in my c530 manual.

Now I feel really dumb, I missed that all together when I glanced through my manual.

Thank you for posting. I am too lazy to really sit down and find it myself.

That's a nice feature, but I want to return directly to the map page and guidance mode. Does anyone know if that's possible?
thx,
Jen

Nope. It's not possible.

(Well, not on most models, anyway. The Zumo has a set of hard buttons on the left side. One of them is the "Page" button It allows you to cycle through the pages/screens. So, it takes you right back to the Map screen.)

Don't feel dumb, who in the heck reads the manual??? LOL

Real men don't read manuals.

That is what POI Factory is for, rather hear it from experienced users (and friendly) rather then a boring manual.

You are all very kind, thank you

What manual? LOL....

We recently had a discussion on the Zumo forum about men not reading the manual.

Here's a snippet of the conversation.

MM: If everyone would follow Hopz's admonition to read the manual, you will find this procedure listed on page 19 of the updated user manual.

Of course, I do realize that we are dealing mostly with men here, so I understand that that's a fairly unreasonable expectation.

Male User: Read the manual? That's crazy talk, it's so much easier to ask the questions on these forums and get the answer.

Male User #2: There's a manual??

MM: Yes. It's a novel concept. The guys that create said electronic device actually write down words explaining how said electronic device works and some of its features so that the guys who use said electronic device can completely ignore the contents of said manual and then complain to other such users that said electronic device doesn't have this feature or that feature. Seems to work well in the male community.

Do you need me to print it out and come read it to you?

Male User #2: Yes, PLEASE! Would you? Or if you could arrange for Aussie Karen TTS to read to me, perhaps...

To which I responded by posting Karen's website and video interview that was posted here.

So, I give up trying to get people to read the manual.

: )

That was great, perhaps I should join that forum just for the laughs...lol

Wasn't he the president of Mexico?

OMG, that was really bad, but I laughed, so I can't say much!

Dang, do you ever sleep? I see posts of yours all day hahahaha. Do you work?

Women may or may not be smarter than men, which has been the subject of many heated debates. But I'm convinced that a woman is more aware of her smarts than a man is of his.

I do as little as possible for both. However, right now, it is very slow at work, so I can post every now and then.

I am here a lot less when I am actually busy at work...lol.

the best part about a new gadget is to figure out how it works without reading the manual.

I'll drink to that!

: )

I can't comment, since I am about as dumb as a box of chocolates.

However, I did stay at a holiday inn express last night...not really.

You sound like me. I have to see how it works. I hate to read.

I never dreamed that my original post would have create so many debates & comments

Works on the C330 & C340 as well.

Yeh, it's kind of sad that we have nothing better to do.
