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!

760 Erase/Reinstall Maps

Is there a way to erase base maps on the 760? I updated to the 2009 maps but then I used Bobcat to make a route and allowed it to install maps that correspond with the route...didn't need to and now it take longer to boot up. I want to erase the maps and just reinstall the 2009 maps unless there is a separate file I can delete that has that basemap I installed from Bobcat.

C550 and USB charging question?

Hi all,
I just received my Garmin C550. When plugging it to my computer in the USB port, a picture of a computer showed up on the C550 screen and I was able to see the C550 as a drive on my PC.

cincinnati chili

Just got back from a weekend in Cincinnati. The Chili Restaurants POI file has several errors. The first two places I went to did not exist. The next two had been torn down, never to be replaced. Finally found one, forty miles from where I started, so I finally got my chili.

Motorola Chargers and Nuvi 350's

I notice that I can charge my Nuvi from my 120V charger and the car charger that came with my Motorola Razr. I need a power supply that I can use to run my Garmin on the motorcycle and being the opportunist that I am, there are a lot more Razr chargers around than there are Garmins. Any reason I can't cut one of these up to wire into my bike to power my Nuvi?

TIA,
Air

Okay, if this is covered somewhere already, I apologize, but I can't find it and I have searched.

POI'S

Hi,
I hope somebody can help me with this...I live in Alberta, Canada and have a Garmin Nuvi 250 which I just purchased.
I was in Lethbridge, Alberta and wanted to go to Costco, so I searched for it under Points of Interest, spell name, and the nearest one preloaded was in the USA.
I came home, used POI Loader, found a file for all the Costco's in the USA and Canada, and loaded it.

Can you run a combination of SD card and internal memory?

Let say I have 10 custom pois... Can 5 of those be on the units internal memory and the other 5 on the sd card... Would that work?

Thanks
