New York State has granted Suffolk County in Long Island NY to double its Red Light camera locations from 50 to 100. Adjoining Nassau county was also approved in March to double its cameras from 50 to 100.
These two counties will have 200 cameras which is far more than many other states combined totals.

File to save to back up all favorites.... Nuvi 660
I asked this a long while back, but didn't save the information name/location.... So I ask again....
There is a file that contains all the favorites I've saved.... in my Nuvi 660....
And, If you back this up, can you reload it later in case your favorites get deleted from a reset, and by copying it back, does it reload all the favorites?
Thanks!!!

Microsoft Streets & Trips as Tracking Map
Using a Garmin 265wt. I would like to be able to use Microsoft Streets & Trips 2011 as a tracking map, but can only show the first leg of track. Does anyone know how to get the entire track to show? I've setup GPSGate to see track live, no problem, but can't get the GPX file to show.
Thanks

Nuvi 2460LMT Voice Command Disappointment.
Today I discovered what I consider a glitch in the 2460's voice command.
I took a trip to a familiar location about 20 miles from home. GPS was connected but no route selected.
I have the 2460 set to "prompt" when selecting calculation mode. Traffic Trends and EcoRoute are disabled.
Note:Each command below were done from off the road and in a parking lot.

Zumo 550 problem
I experienced a problem with my Zumo on my motorcycle today, the speed and the next street names were running right along with me but the map was a few blocks behind, freezing at points and not keeping up.
Think a hard reset will work? If so how would I do it?
