LoL..Very good job.

What about pressing the "turn-in" box (lower left) and get the turns and nav map 1/2 screen each.

( PS, I think you'll get the job )

Great tips. How do I edit a point that I have previously saved and named? I need to add a part of the name that I left off.

If it's in your favorites, just select it, then select edit and redo the name.

New here with my Nuvi 350

Great tip. I bought one at BJs just to try it out with their 30 day return policy (price was $451 with tax)and as a satisfied customer have one from AMazon ($398)... now returning the unit to BJs and wanted to erase all of the POI's and favorites I had added.

I did find I had to put my finger on the UPPER right corner and not the Bottom right corner. Maybe that is just this unit.

Were you looking in a mirror? LOL.

I don't know about the "Alt function" please give details

no mirror

no alt function per se, other than displaying "turn in" and then pressing it and getting the split screen w/nav map and next turn in directions.

Like pressing the green bar at top kind of thing, just didn't know how to word it at the time.
