Deleting a Text Message
I have a Garmin 680 with Bluetooth-- I sent a confidential text message through the 680 to someone-- now I want to delete it. Anyone know the file name or how to delete text messages in the NUVI?
Text messages are not stored in the phone when sent via the NUVI.

What Happened To Lifetime Maps????
A few hours ago I logged into My Garmin and it showed both lifetime maps available and a one time update.
Now it only shows a one time update. The lifetime maps option seems to have disappeared.
Do any of you see an option for lifetime updates?

New Orleans Trip
We just returned from a brief trip to New Orleans. The Garmin got us there and back with no problems what so ever. It took us directly to the French Quarter and found the restaurant we wanted. Good for you Mr. Garmin

The New ecoRoute -- video and screen shots
The NEW ecoRoute
I have prepared an interesting article about the new ecoRoute feature that is available for 'some' nüvis -- RIGHT NOW.
The article includes screen shots and video. Not only is it of interest to 2X5 and 7X5 owners but to other nüvi owners who want to see what it is all about and get an 'INSIDE LOOK.'
You can find the article:

Zip Code DB Searchable by Zip
If anyone is interested, I have compiled a ZIP Code POI DB (CSV) that is searchable by zip code.
I can upload it to POIFactory if any of you want it.
It is quite large (43190 zip codes, but because the state abbreviation is the first 2 letters of column 4 it would be easy to extract the state or states you want and be able to make the data suit you.

My Garmin 680 seems to take alot longer to acquire satellites since I have added POI files. Has anyone else had a similar problem or other slow operation problems?

Garmin Software 4.8 for Nuvi 2x5 released
Just updated my new-style 260w (which has many of the 2x5 features) and found that firmware Version 4.80 was available.
Supposedly included the new Garmin Ecoroute ... but, unfortunately, even though my Garmin updated to firmware 4.80 ... there was no Ecoroute feature.
Oh well.

What am I doing wrong?
I own a Nuvi 200. I downloaded the Starbucks files including logo and mp3. The grey dot shows up fine at each location, but not the logo or the voice announcing the location is coming up. I followed the directions on this site. I am wondering what I did wrong. Thanks
