New Garmin owner

 

Hi all,

I have been scrolling around checking the site out.

I just bought a Garmin C550 yesterday. Any helpful hints or tips I should be aware of?

I'm a newbie with a GPS, so don't be afraid to tell me something basic. smile

It would appear that I had Map 2009 installed on my unit when I registered it yesterday. Hopefully that's right.

Now I am looking for some freebie POIs for my area. I am in the Ottawa, Ontario, Canada area. Any ideas?

Just start reading

Hi Byrde,

Welcome to you and me both. My Street Pilot 2620 HD just died so I have a new Nuvi 750. I hope to find some POI files I can use, especially RV campgrounds.
