New Zealand Map for Garmin C550

I will be in New Zealand this fall and am seeking a copy of the map. Garmin sells it for $150 which is too much for a one time trip. If anyone wants to sell a copy I am interested. Please contact me at my email address:

Slower air speed and no elevation

I just flew from Boston to Florida on US Air. The max speed that I recorded on my 260 was 545 mph. Once it locked on I was able to use it on my table. The plane was a 757 and I had a window seat. At one point the Flight Attendent ask me for our location. I tried to get our elevation, by pressing the blue arrow and it always read around 22 to 38 ft.

New nuvi 750 Owner with a question

Hi all,

Just got a nuvi 750 and updated it with the latest firmware and it shows that is has the City Navigator North America NT 2009.

I am a little disappointed though. My house and subdivision has been built since 2003 and it isn't on the map! I would like to know two things:

1 - Do I have the latest map? I am pretty sure I do, but wanted to be sure

Refresh On My Nuvi 250w

Hello I got My Nuvi 250 like 3 weeks ago and I notice that when Colormode is in nighttime and my map setting is set at most detail the map flickers from time to time is this normal I suppose not but just asking if I put less map detail it's ok

Fastest or Shortest

OK, now here's another question....Fastest or Shortest?

It seems to me the Fastest setting runs on an algorhythm that looks for maximum travel speed, not necessarily the fastest way to your destination.

nuvi760 mp3 & jpeg file

When I load my sd card with my mp3 files it also put's jpeg photos in the photo viewer on my Nuvi. I guess it is picking the information off the mp3 file.
Is there any way to make the computer show these files,
when you look at the mp3 file?

How do I view POI's on map while driving?

Hi,

I just got a C550 and want to be able to view the POI's on my map as I am driving. Thusfar, the only icons that show up are the flag for my home address and the specific addresses which I added into my favorites. I want to be able to view gas stations, starbucks, whatever...on my map as I am driving.

HELP!!

Thanks

Life is always a suprise it only when you choose to like the suprise that you will he truly happy

Simple newbie question

Just got my Nuvi 360 and uploaded the 2009 map. Does this upload replace the 2008 map or add it. And if it adds it, do I need to somehow delete the old one? And if I need to delete the old one, how do I do that.

Thanks....this looks like a wonderful site. Can't wait to delve into it deeper.

WA - Western Australia

Just moved to Washington State. With my Nuvi 680 as well. Navigated to a store in "Bellingham, WA" and Australian Karen announces, "arriving Bellingham, Western Australia." Thought I heard wrongly. My son says "Western Australia?"
Anyone had this experience with "Karen"?

POIs Loaded, now what?

Hi - Please bear with me, I'm a GPS newbie. I have a Garmin 750 and just loaded the Staples locations POI file using the POI Loader. I got a successful message that it transferred over, however when I go into Point of Interests and do a search for staples, I don't see them. Since I've never done this before I'm just assuming that it should show up there, right?

Thanks for any help!
