880 Remote Control Firmware Update
I was on my way to dinner and having my 880 connected as usual, all of a sudden a screen popped up and it said Remote Access firmware update, the only problem was it never went past 1% mark, even while I left on battery and then upon leaving the restaurant, it still stayed on 1%, so I disconnected the unit and I figured Garmin must have an update, connected to webupdater, and no update..

Bluetooth
Garmin Nuvi 360:
I can't get my phone to pair with my GPS again. I have had them working together and I've made a few calls. Now I cannot get it to connect. When I try, the GPS pops up the phone passkey, so I assume that the phone is communicating with it. When the phone asks for the passkey I enter it and it says "Pairing Failed." Any ideas?

NUVI 660 and Custom POI Issues
I have a NUVI 660 that will not allow me to load custom POI's, that are actually usable. They are installed in a one large file that is in the Garmin\POI directory. Nothing will show up under custom >> Extras, even though there are several custom POI's installed. I have contacted Garmin three separate times about this issue, and did the install per their instructions, with no success.

Speaking of Garmin's 2009 map updates
Speaking of Garmin's 2009 map updates, I cant seem to figure out how to determine what's built in to my Garmin nuvi 760 unit. bougt it in late june 2008. I know the 2009 updates were available at the time, cause they kept showing up when I did websearches for reviews of the Nuvi line.

Garmin 270
Has the 270 replaced the 350? I saw one on Costco's website and it looks an awful lot like the 350.

Help Downloading To My Garmin
I just downloaded a POI for ExxonMobil Interstate locations to my computer. When I open my POI Loader and browse for the file, it does not show up in the folder that it is in for me to download to my GPS. Am I doing something wrong? I have a 260w and am trying to get some Mobil locations which are on highways and do not show under POI's from Garmin. Any help would be appreciated!!!

My purchase from Garmin of CNNTNA
Online I ordered the CNNTNA DVD, and I assumed it would be the uptodate current version like was preinstalled on my new Nuvi 880. What I received was one with a SKU
indicating it was the 2008 version. There was no second DVD included in the package, so they did not send the 2009 update.

While strolling across a Sheraton hotel's car park, I discovered that I was holding my Nüvi 310 upside-down, in its leather-look Garmin case. Gravity being what it is, the Nüvi slipped out of the case and connected perfectly with my left foot ...

Memory on a Nuvi 750?
Have some Newbe questions please...
How much memory is on my 750?
If I add a memory card will it act as additional memory or do I have to put stuff on the card separately from the internal memory?

660 Charging
I have a Nuvi 660 that i use on my motorcycle. I have a cigarette lighter hook up that runs to a 12V constant hot. I use the port on the GPS that i hook to the computer to program the GPS as the way to power the unit while riding. I have noticed that it will only charge up to 2 bars even after hours of riding. Do i need to use the factory cradle and cord to make the unit charge ?

Nuvi 7xx resetting trip = resetting odometer
Is there a way to reset the trip information without resetting the odometer? I just reset the trip and i was sad to see that my odometer also went to zero. Luckily I only had a couple hundred miles on it. On my 60CS you can pick and choose what fields are reset, and I have 20k+ miles on the odometer.
