So I just visited the public MapSource Map Viewer at

http://www8.garmin.com/cartography/mapSource/citynavnt.jsp#

and zoomed in to my neighborhood. My name is listed at the location of my home. So I figure it has something to do with cookies, java cookies, or the Garmin software that I have on my PC.

Folks,

I am planning on buying the 2009NT map update DVD for my Dad's Garmin C340. Is the update procedure similar to the Nuvi series? When I connect the C340 to my computer, it is not recognized as a Mass Storage Device (it does not show up as any drive under My Computer).

Anyone know if they have plans on including spoken street names in an upcoming release of Mobile XT?

I have 2 Garmin GPS that are effected by the hybrid and I am wondering if other GPS companies are also having the same problems. Are Prius hybrids also a problem or only the Camry?

There is a new update available for the C330.

Garmin’s routing of the following route is very baffling. As you approach My Street on Riggs road from Phoenix both my nuvi 750 and MapSource miss the left hand turns on Price, then Lakewood, then Dobson and finally turns left on Glenburn. This adds over 2 miles to the route. There are no turns or other restrictions on these roads.

I inserted a route on my C340 from home in Surprise, AZ to the south rim of the Grand Canyon.
Getting started early in the am the traffic was bad so I took another way to I17 northbound to miss the traffic. This brought me maybe 20 miles north from the original entrance to I17N.

i have just ordered a copy of the 2008 maps.
it said 4-6 weeks deliver does it take that long.

when I download POI's to a folder and then install them to my nuvi. the installer says they were successfully uploaded. when I unplug my nuvi, it starts up and tells me I have new uploads to install and I say o.k. It then says they were successfully installed but when I go to extras/custom POIs I see nothing. What's going on? Can anyone help?

Greetings. Frequent lurker, first time poster. I'm a new Garmin user (650) and am planning my first long distance trip. I have used a couple of your POI files. For my trip I don't want to use the proposed route that my Garmin is suggesting. How to I map out an alternate route?
Thanks for your help in advance.

I have favorite poi from a planned trip to Orlando showing up on my home location in Canada around my car icon in max zoom. It looks like my car is surrounded by small black dots. That can't be normal or is it? The Icons are sort of useless anyway since you have to use a stylus to be able to activate them and they don't show shopping centers but one individual store in that ctr.

I would like to start a POI list for Buffalo Wings. I know that we all have heard of Hooters Wings, but their are many local places the make outstanding wings. Sandwich and pizza stores are a great locations for Wings. I belive that I can do this, but on a small scale to start. This will be my first try. I would like to start on the East Coast section of the U.S. Then expand it later.

I was leaving my friends house and my nuvi told me to turn right, however when I looked at the highlighted route it clearly indicated a left turn. I returned later and the same thing happened again. I went home and reinstalled the latest software and now the problem seems to be fixed. Has this happened to anyone else ?

I every one,

I'm trying to import .csv files in nRoute and I can't.
I'm triyng to convert them with GPSbabel and I can't.
This program drive me crazy, how can I get all of your POI in my laptop?

Thanks to answer

I remember a discussion here a couple of months ago in which someone claimed that his GPS was automatically updated while he was driving---no computer, no Webupdater involved. The conclusion of the discussion I think was that it was not possible since the satellites are owned by the Defense Department, not Garmin.

**********************GREAT NEWS*****************
I was just looking up to see what the current version of Garmin's City Navigator NT Europe is and found it is on GARMINS website for $149.99

Looks like their price is dropping.

Ok so I'm new and have a few basic questions.

Please help.

I purchased a Garmin 660 with City Navigator NT v.8 preloaded around April 7th. It did not come with a disc other than the manual. I have looked at the files inside the 660 and see no .map files, etc. I have downloaded the latest MapSource and installed.
1. Wheres the map files?

Has anyone experienced inaccurate values on the trip information screen?

Is anyone interested in putting together a POI list for Bus Layovers in NYC? This may be helpful for drivers that go there frequently.
