Where to send downloaded files

I am new to this, but, I downloaded a file on my Nuvi 350 and it went to My Locations, Custom POI's. Can I send these downloads to a different place. For instance, if I download golf courses, can I send it to golf courses. If I download Disney World, can I send it to attractions?

Documentation for Nuvi 200

I just got a Nuvi 200 for Christmas and I really like it. The only complaint that I have is the terrible documentation. Today, I accidentally touched something and got a screen that enabled me to put in my Home address. I have no idea what I touched, nor how to get back to that screen. I have searched every screen that I know of. I think that there must be a lot of undocumented capabilities.

Just curious.

Different Coordinate Formats

Does anyone know if there is a way to add different formats on a Garmin Nuvi? I have a Nuvi 370 and would like to be able to use MGRS format. All mine allows now is Lat/Long and British National Grid. All of my other Garmin products with the exception of the nuvi have let me use MGRS. Does anyone know if there is a workaround for this?

Install New Map Updates COMPLETELY on SD Card - c530

Hi, Can you install ALL the new maps on the SD card? I wonder if you could. They say that you will have to put the 48 states in the unit and then put Canada and the Provinces on the SD card. What would happen if you just put everything on the SD card?

2GB or 4GB cards - which is better

I recently got some good deals on SD cards at a boxing day sale.

I bought a couple 2GB and a couple 4GB cards because I wasn't sure which would be better in my nuvi 650. I'm looking to keep one kind and return the other.

I understand there are some limitations regarding the # of mp3 files that can be stored on an SD card or read by the GPS unit.

Stopping the trip counter

I did a search... nothing obvious and/or recent showed up...

I'm using a StreetPilot c340.

2 gig SD card $13.95 shipped

Need an SD card for your Nuvi? Buy.com has a 2 gigabyte Kingston card for $13.95, with free shipping. It's a full sized SD card, not a mini or micro. I have no connection with Buy.com except as a customer; I bought two 1 gig micro SD cards from them recently and was satisfied with both the product and the service.

.vpm files QUESTION ???

If I make my own set of voice files, do the individual sound bytes (wav files) have to be the exact same size as the original, or when I make my new .vpm file will it adjust accordingly and recognize the new lengths of the wavs and just go by the filenames and play the clip no matter if its a second or so longer?

Anyone have POI file for YMCA locations?

Hi all,
Does anyone have a POI file for the YMCA locations? More specifically, I'm looking for locations in Ontario.

BTW... this is a great site. I've learned a ton in the past few weeks.

NUVI 360 bug?

Has anyone experienced a bug where the navigator tell you to go South when it means North? For example, it will say take route 29 South when it means route 29 North. Once I take the correct direction(North) it knows I am on the correct one...
