nuvi screen shot feature

 

not sure how many models support this, but does anyone use this?

and if so, can you pass along any tips as to how it might be useful?

other than annotating some help for someone by including what appears on screen during one step or another, I don't know when I would use it.

and does it revert to disabled after each use, or each power on?

Business?

QuickBooks has the option of adding a picture to clients contact information. For a service company with a lot of clients all spread out having a little picture of a map on hand when looking at their info make it a little easier to schedule work for the day in a general area.

try to answer all of this

you can use it for a couple of things, say you want to compare trips that you take, get a screen shot of the first leg of your trip and when you get home you can take a shot of the second leg and compare them with the time, how long it took,how fast you drove etc.
also if you have a spot showing on the screen that you want you can take a screen shot of that,anything on the screen at all you can take a shot of
not sure if every model has this feature or not but i do know on the sp530 it doesnt work and there is a thread on that problem cause i had one and filed a complaint with Garmin on that particular subject,
I found out that you can only do one screen shot at a time, once you take it you have to reload the screen shot function to get the other shot, To look at the shot you take then you have to look at it via the usb connection to the computer, hope that got all of it for you

idea Hadn't thought of that.

My sister sells newspaper advertising, and while she doesn't have a GPS yet, I have a feeling that when she sees mine when we are together over the Christmas holiday, that she will want one, and could make use of the idea for clients that she calls on say quarterly.

Screen Shot

On my 660, the setting gets turned "OFF" when I cycle power.

I've used it to capture various screens to use in step-by-step instructions I create in Word and convert to PDF.

I've also used it to capture the satellite screen to get the lat/lon coordinates of a particular location for use back on my PC when creating POI files.

Screen shot

I tried the screen shot the first time today. I can see some uses for it especially the satellite screen.
