Has anyone had success with adding stock symbols to their nuvi with MSN Direct? So far, I've only gotten 1 to work, other than Garmin GRMN itself which came already added. Every other symbol I try throws the error "No information available for this stock symbol."
Thanks!

Only large companies seem to work
I have tried numerous stocks and only the largest companies seem to work. GE & AMTD are 2 that work. I searched online for a list of available stocks and came up blank.
Wonder . . .
I got PRU and GM in my 780 and they work. Wonder if the problem is the amount of symbols and not the name of the symbols. I never tried more then two. Have you tried removing the two in there now and trying one or two different ones?

Not a quantity limit
I've put in all the ones that everyone has mentioned in this thread and they all work, but others (like PEGA) still won't work. I can also add any of the supplied indexes with no problem.
Thanks for the feedback. I
Thanks for the feedback. I will try it tonight and see. I tried VFC and it didn't work, so not sure.
MSN supplies a very short list
I called MSN Direct support to ask about this. I could not add any of the stocks I was interested in. The customer service rep said that they only supply data for a few of the most popular stocks. He said it would take too long to download and update the full list all day long. If the stock you are interested in is not on their supplied list, you are out of luck. And no, they do not publish the list of stocks that they supply data for.
I'm so glad that they reserved a spot for GRMN, though. It's such a meaningful indicator of our general economic health. I'm much more interested in how GRMN is doing, as opposed to, say, the company I work for.
