Replacing Battery nuvi 650
I have a NUVI 650. Some day I'll need to change the battery, but it works fine now. I see batteries sold online within reason. But, how do you remove the old and replace the new battery in the unit without damaging it. It does not seem obvious how to open the case.

nuvi 760
Just received a refurbished nuvi 760 last week and am happy as to the features it has.
Am a bit disappointed because the internal memory is only 2 GB (I think the 770 has 4 GB) but my 4 GB SD fits into it so that's fine.

Birthday gift
My granddaughter is turning 16 next month and is getting her drivers license in Washington State. We are getting her a GPS preferably a Garmin. I am wondering what model would be the best for her considering she does need to have blue tooth capability because the State requires hands free cell phone use.
Would appreciate some suggestions from you all.

Security Location in 2D or 3D?
My Nuvi 260 arrives Monday; It is my 2nd GPS, but my first "ground" unit. My other one is an Aviation GPS...
I've been reading a lot of posts here, including the threads on the Security Location feature, the usefulness of the feature and the best locations to use for setting this on one's unit.

Show only Specific POIs
Hi,
Just got a garmin nuvi 200. Still trying to get used to it.
I was wondering if there is a way to show only a certain category of POIs on the map. I've searching for hours, but haven't found how to set this up.
I am mostly interested in showing gas stations ONLY. I could care less about the other 5.9 million POIs during my daily commute.

After posting, is there an easy way to get back to the garmin talk page? Every time i have to click on discussion, then garmin talk. the other link takes me to unread posts, which i don't care about. Thanks.

Lock on Satellite Still or Moving
-- Since the 21 GPS satellites are not in synchronous orbit 11,000 miles above the earth (they don't stay in relatively one position all the time),
-- and since they are not even synchronous with each other,
-- and a spot on the earth is constantly moving (probably at a high velocity) as the earth spins and travels through space,

customize audio turn notification?
Is there any way to slightly extend the amount of distance the audio turn notifications are provided? My nuvi 350 sometimes tells me to turn at the last minute - to the point that there is no way to prepare for the turn. Sure this woudn't be much of a problem if I had one of those dash board holder thingies - but for right now my nuvi site in the passenger seat.

Seeing POI on screen of 200w
I have a 200W and can not see any POI on screen while I am driving. I read somewhere that you have to be in 2D mode and zoomed in quite a bit. But, even then, I don't see any. If I touch the map and drag to a new location, the POI all show on screen, but if I select one it tries to direct me to that location. Am I doing something wrong?! Thanks!

Communicator Plugin 2.6.1.0.
We've been using Communicator Plugin version 2.5.2 along with Thunderbird 2.0.0.16 and Google Maps to download special locations to the Favorites folder in our Garmin 260 for quite some time with no problems. Today, for some reason, everything just seemed to stop....no more option to send to GPS from Google Maps.
