anyone know how to get the coordinates from my favorites on the 660,670?
Ive saved two new speed camera locations in Star Valley AZ (next to Payson), but I cant seem to be able to bring up the coordinates for them after I got back home in Phoenix. I can "go" to the cameras, just cant seem to find the lat/long for them...
any suggestions?

Dead Ends
Not sure the best forum to ask this one in. My Garmin has tried to route me through some dead end/permanently closed road areas. Is there a POI set that deals with this issue?

Map update -- C330
Can anyone give guidance on updating my maps? $70 is pretty steap for a map that is shortly outdated (DC area is always changing...)
1) Are the maps updated on a schedule (ie can I buy right after an update?)
2) Is there an alternative to paying full freight through Garmin? (3rd party, sales etc?)
Thanks...

Changing Lat-Lon to Garmin Decimal.
Have you ever heard the saying "Dont use words that you can't spell"?
Well, I have two requests here...
First, I am looking for the Correct words to describe the two different ways to represent a coordinate on GPS.
#1) Latitude/Longgitude format, (38,57,07.24)
#2) Garmin Decimal Format (-118.3245,39.2345)

Garmin Nuvi 650 - POI Loader
I just purchased a Garmin Nuvi 650 and would like to ask my fellow Garmin GPSers how to store multiple POI categories. For example, I dowloaded Midwest Lakes and Rest Ares and made a separe folders for the file. Going through Garmin's POI Loader, what I found was that my Nuvi only stored the latest file in the "custom POIs". Is there a way to categorize the POIs?

support C330 vs Nuvi
With my C330 I just had to install my GPS on the support and no wire to plug in, with the Nuvi I have to plug in the wire and then install it in the support every time I go in the car. Why did garmin did not keep a simular support like the C330????

Displaying POI Icons on Garmin 200w in 3D map view
I'm sure I've missed something in the docs ... Can the 200w display POI (Garmin provided and/or user provided) Icons in the 3D Map view? The only time I see icons is in the 2D view and they are so small you need a stylus to select them.
Any help is appreciated

Will TourGuide w/o .mp3 work on nuvi200?
I've been looking at the http://brillharts.com/GarminAlerts/ site and would like to set up a TourGuide radius alert for one of my .gpx files, but I'm not sure if it'll work without the .mp3 file. Anyone try this?

updating adresses
Can addresses that come with the gps be updated? I have a nuvi 350. Some businesses move and it would be nice to change a wrong address.
Can't find the street?
Hi Everyone,
I have a Nuvi 660 with the 2008 maps loaded and for SOME REASON this address won't show up.
Wal-Mart Supercenter Store #1651
7011 Main Street
American Canyon, CA 94503
(707) 557-4393
When I try searching for Main Street it can't find it YET Google Maps shows it clear as day. Any guess as to why the Nuvi can't find it?
