Does anyone know if Garmin will update the FIRMWARE of the 330 to allow direct GPS Coordinate entry like the NUVI? Is that even a possibility? I have left an email with Garmin about this but haven't heard anything from them.
I just had an interesting experience in the mountains of North Carolina. I was trying to navigate from Jefferson, NC to Lenoir, NC and the routing took me onto a dirt road, even though I have the dirt road avoidance selected. I decided to go with it and see. It was a dead end. I think they still need to work on that area of the country a little. I have Version 8. It was interesting. I had Highway Highway Highway and then all of a sudden I was instructed to turn left off the highway onto a gravel road. It wound around and went over a little hill to a dead end fence. Woops! I has worked impeccibly every other time but this.
