Security feature question
On the latter topic, does anyone know the radius of the security location effectiveness? 10 yards, 100 yards, half a mile? Would I have to park in the exact same spot to unlock it?

Setting speed indicator
So I just purchased a Nuvi 250W. I hear that some GPS's can set an speed indicator alert. Is this possible on this model and if so how? Garmin's manuals are a little bare. I remember that I found some undocumented features about my old C330.

Garmin compatible with my phone
I have been a Garmin user since day one but I couldn't find one compatible with my phone, a Samsung SGH a437. Does anyone know if I can pair my phone with any particular garmin? I switched to a Sony for the Bluetooth but I am not satisfied with the performance of the Sony (it can't compare to the Garmin.) Any help will be appreciated.

NUvi 660 question: does the icon file that goes with the POI location file have to be the exact same file name to work properly
Loading custom POI files from this site along with icon and sound files.
1. Do all three have to have the exact same file name in order to work?
2. How do i link them to each other once loaded or is it automatic?
Thanks.

Red light mesage
I have a few red light cameras loaded in my 265WT that I pass each day on my way to work. When I approach the intersection from the south I get an auditble alert. When I approach the same intersection from the west I get the same audible alert and the camera name pops up on the screen in a grey rectangular box. Can anyone tell me why I only get the camera name from one direction.

Alerts: continuous autoplay vs single tone with custom sounds
I have a nuvi 350 with a TourGuide csv sent for McCDonalds. I used the Kentucky Derby sound with the continous auto play option and it drove my wife crazy when we were in urban areas. I switched to single tone and all I get is a songle tone. What I wanted was the custom sound, Derby, just once.

New MSN Direct Update
Has anyone been able to download the new MSN Direct update? I received a message about it on my Nuvi this am and went to the website to obtain more info. It said to use the webupdater which I did and the update is not there, I am assuming it has not been released yet.

Accuracy of POI data
I just subscribed and downloaded a number of custom POI from the POI Factory. I wanted to see if the McDonalds inside the local Walmart was there.

Waypoints
OK, I know that many of you will be shaking your heads with this one but I can't seem to find an answer. So here goes: what the "heck" is a waypoint? My 350 apparently has the capability of 500-waypoints but I have no idea what that means.
Thanks and sorry for the juvenile ignorance on the subject.
Garmin Nuvi 780 to be discontinued??
Is the Nuvi 780 going away?? I was hoping to pick one up from Big Box Buy for $299 but it is no longer listed online and the last time I went into one of their stores there wasn't a tag for this model. I guess the 785T is the replacement. Anyone have any info that I can't find?
Thanks.
