For Mac Users
Just a note for all Mac users. Since the release of OS 10.5.6, WebUpdater will not work. I’ve talked with Garmin and they are aware of the problem and are working on a fix. From what they say, UpDater still works fine on Windows. So hang tight, a fix is on the way.
Merry Christmas to all.

Christmas Surprise from Garmin
Recently I purchased a map upgrade for one of my Garmin GPS's. BUT - the unit couldn't be recognized by the computer for some reason. So I called tech support and in the end they needed me to ship it to them to replace / repair. In any event, he told me it would come back with the new maps on it. That, by itself, is a nice surprise.

Data in Puerto Rico bad
Can anyone confirm or deny if the data on the maps for Puerto Rico are any good? I just went there for a short vacation and the amount of errors was amazing. The unit (nuvi 660 running 2009 maps form the SD card) hung up at one point and I had to reset it, which has never happened before. Because of that, I'm not completely sure where the problem is, the maps or the unit.

How to find latitude and longitude in Google maps
Not sure of this has been posted before but if you looking for an easy way to find Long and Lat while using google maps try this.
When the address you want to find latitude and longitude for is dead center, copy and paste this code into your browser bar:
javascript:void(prompt('',gApplication.getMap().getCenter()));

NUVI 680 battery issues
I received a Garmin 680 last January and about two months ago I noticed when I ran it just on battery power alone it would only last 1 hour. I normally run it on the MSN/car cable power. I sent it in to Garmin and they sent a refurbished 680. I noticed it only lasts 3 hours on battery power. I've tried different charging techniques (computer, AC) but still get the same results.

Rest Stop POI Added
I followed the instructions on how to add the rest stops and walmart POIs, and the software told me it was successful. Now, how do I see those POIs on the garmin itself? Do I search for "walmart" or "rest stop" on the garmin POIs?
I wanted to see if the .bmp icons were uploaded and working as well. Thx.
