Australian Karen is real & looks as good as she sounds

Garmin HQ's local paper did an article on the real Australian Karen:
http://www.kansascity.com/2010/11/12/2427262/putting-a-face-...

And, she has a website:
http://www.thegpsgirl.com

Would you believe she's doing a CONCERT? I can hear it now - "Turn right here" Applause, screams, groupies. "Arriving at your destination" as an encore.

Actually, she's interesting.

1390T

Does anyone own a 1390T, and if so, what is your opinion of it? A family member is strongly considering the 1390LMT (same unit but with lifetime map updates). The unit seems to get good reviews but some say the audio is not that loud. I remember reading the same thing about my 265WT but mine is plenty loud! Sometimes too loud. The other cons I've read about in reviews do not concern me.

Is my 855 retarded?

I just discovered something that probably explains why sometimes my 855 can set unused for four or five days and the battery will be down a couple of bars, the next time it might set for two days and the battery is stone dead.

Accessing a specif POI file directly on the GPS

I have a 755T. After I download a POI file from POIFactory, let's say one entitled "Passport America Campgrounds", how do I access that specific list of locations while using my GPS unit in the field (not plugged into the computer). For example, I want to know just which campgrounds in a area are Passport America, not every CG in the area.

Speed Alerts

I have a Garmin 785 Nuvi. Recently it has given me speed alerts. First it starts in grey color and beeps. Then it changes to red in color and still beeps. The alerts show 3mph to 7mph. These alerts occur on many locations in the US. This is NOT the same as the speed camera download although it acts very similar. Question is how did I acquire this new alert?

Change History

How do I get to the change history on the Garmin site for a particular unit? Going to downloads just tells you to use webupdater, but I know you can get to the change history page another way. I'm trying to find change info for a friend.

Birdseye Satellite compatibility

I tried to activate Birdseye but it rejects my Dakota 10. Garmin support is giving me a refund and told me that the Dakota has no expandable memory and only the Dakota 20 will work with Birdseye. I do have about 950 MB of data memory on the Dakota 10, but no maps can be purchased for it. Rather it can work with Map Source for Topo 24K as an example.
