nuvi 255w satellite system
Does anybody know which satellite system they use? WAAS or EGNOS or both?
With the old C340 you could choose, with this one there is no choice.

Nuvi 755 route overview map?
Is there nay way to get rid of the topo(? or whatever it's called)map that takes place of a route when zoomed out? It's killing me because seeing the roads is so much more intuitive.
To me it's useless and want to even know why Garmin even put it there on a road navigation device.

Upgraded to new GPS
It's been a while since I have been on here but see what is going on from time to time.
Anyway - I put the old C340 to bed and got a new nuvi 255w. For this unit to be a beginner unit wow it is loaded with some new features. I am pleased with it. I have been playing with it and finding and saving some of the manual favorites that I had in the old one.

How did it choose a lounger route
I have a nuvi 680 but no longer have the traffic active. On returning from out of town, the GPS routed me around the city on the bypass interstate. I know from experience this is a longer route. So when I arrived at the exit for the bypass, I checked the remaining miles and the time for arrival. Then I took the intown interstate route instead.

Geographic Limits
Are there any geographic limits to Custom POIs?
I have been creating sets of POIs for my forthcoming trip to China and I don't seem to be able to upload any beyond 115 degrees east - effectively excluding Beijing and Shanghai.

Waypoints or POI ????
ok, here is what I am trying to do and if someone could lend a hand.... I am looking to ride my motorcycle from the DC area down Skyline Drive, which connects to the Blue Ridge Pkwy and take that to something that will get me back to FL. My problem is that I want to create the route on my computer, upload it to my Nuvi's SD card and kinda go from there.

Stop import prompt on startup
I figured this out once but can't seem to remember how I did it now. when ever I load new POIs to my memory card it prompts if I want to manage new data. I keep my POIs on my card so I don't want to import them, but it prompts every time I start up. is there a way to get rid of this? TIA.
It's a Zumo 550 FWIW

Garman 350 - Slow Bootup
My Garman 350 is 2+ years old. Recently, I noticed it took much longer to boot the 350 up (from pressing the "on/off" button to the appearance of the "Agree" button on the screen) . In addition, it also takes much longer for the unit to find the necessary number of satellite connections. Any suggestions?

Nuvi 660 security lock glitch?
I was wondering if anyone has had a similar situation with a Garmin Nuvi(mine 660). I am aware that if turned on with a certain security zone that the GPS will recognize and boot; but, I have found that if I am at a different location and simply power up the unit, after a certain period of time (a few minutes), it will go to the "view map" page.

Avoidance options
On my 260W only the ferry avoidance option is checked. Do you check U-Turns and dirt roads?
