"City Navigator Europe" vs "City Navigator Europe – Italy + Greece"
Hey all,
Going to Italy in a bit with my 265WT and pondering which of these guys is better - I'm planning on getting into some of the smaller towns - (Sienna, Montepulciano etc) and I do want the detailed coverage, but cant tell from the Garmin site if everything on Italy only is included in the full Europe database... Price difference is only 30 bucks (99 vs 69)..

Family photos
I keep some family photos (Jpg) on my Nuvi.
Some of these unedited photos are 3-5 MB in size.
I don't want to use up unnecessary space on my Nuvi with my photo collection. I don't need a 12 megapixel picture for viewing on my Garmin.I am willing to modify the filesize & resolution with Photoshop.
Rather than trial & error, perhaps someone knows the answer.
My question is:

Distance
I was sure this was answered before, no luck in finding it though. I noticed on my trip to Oregon how annoying the distance shown was. Why don't these figures match? An example is one of my favorites called Oregon Zoo. It tells me it's South from my place and 259.5 Miles from here. I click it and a little window behind the GO! button comes up and tells me it's 311.4 Miles plus other info.

Sound Files
I noticed that Jill and Jack, the only American Red Light Camera sound files here, are computer generated and a little herky jerky. Does anyone know of other sources of American voices?
I created my own this time (it's easy) so not that big of a deal but....just curious.

Florida Saltwater Fishing
I live in Tampa. I shore fish, bridge fish, wade fish, etc., all the time. Does anyone have any POI data for fishing spots in Florida, especially on the West Coast?
I've been searching for days and I can't find any real information.
Thanks,
Frank

Does NUVI know better?
Last night I hopped in the car to pick up some take out from one of our favorite restaurants (about 10 miles). I have been driving this route for 20+ years.
Just for kicks I put the restaurant in NUVI and asked to take me there the fastest way.
Normally I take a main road, 4 side streets and there we are. Same return trip.

poi location
I noticed that the longitudes and latitudes for some sample poi points in csv files I downloaded were off as compared to the actual poi location on google earth (which was more accurate). Is there a good reason for the descrepancy? TIA

Anyone else notice that Bing and MapQ have more accurate locations than Google?
Realizing nothing is perfect, I've still been frustrated in the past with sending Google addresses to the GPS because they were often simply "close" or on the right street. (I know MQ used to be really bad about correct directions.)

Need help uploading delivery route to garmin 780
Hello all,
I know this is a POI site but I am not getting much help from some other posts, so I figured I would try here.
I recently purchased a Garmin 780 so that I can take my delivery routes(addresses) from my POS and upload them with ease, especially useful for new or substitute drivers.
