UGHH No memory glitch??
Can anyone help me please??? I have a Garmin Streetpilot C320 with City NAV NT 2009 map. I also have a 2.0 GB SD card in it. I have always had custom POI's on it. This time though after wiping it to load my 2009 map the POI's won't go on. I keep getting the same error message of "not enough memory" no matter how small of a file I pick.

7x5 Bugs
I have had my 765 about 4 hrs, and discovered the 1st bug. After I transfered my favorites I found I could only scroll about 3 screens before it automatically reset itself to the 1st screen. You have to be pretty fast on the scroll to get the more distant favorites before it resets.

My 660 had a nervous breakdown
Coming north to Door County, highway 42 has a new section. Jack kept recalculating trying to get back where he thought the road was. After a few minutes he froze up. The unit simply stopped doing anything. I shut it off and turned it back on. By then I was on the mapped section of road and it worked fine. I've been on unmapped roads before and this didn't happen. Is this a normal behavior?

Arizona/New Mexico 24k Topos available
I contacted Garmin customer support three weeks ago inquiring when the Arizona 24k topos would be available and the response I got was that Az/NM would probably be the next one released, but he had no information if that was correct or when it would happen.
I just took a look at their page:

Garmin Nuvi 880
The Garmin Nuvi 880 crams in a number of features into the 4.9 inches wide by 3.1 inches high by 0.7 inch deep unit that weighs 6.2 ounces which allows for easy portability between vehicles. Its included text-to-speech functionality, MSN Direct services, and Bluetooth, and non glare screen make this a highly desirable GPS system. The 880 has a slot for microSD memory cards.

Garmin Power Cord
I took apart the Garmin cigarette power cord by cut the cord end, then re-wired it behind the dash for that cleaner look without having to see that bulky cigarette plug into the lighter when in use. On the dashboard mounted a power female plug/LED so I can connect to the Garmin GPS.

Looks like the "Lifetime" GTM traffic subscription is coming soon (if not here already) with GTMxx firmware update v5.30. Available via WebUpdater (be careful using WebUpdater if you want your GPS to stay at it's current firmware version).
Changes made from version 5.20 to 5.30:
* Add lifetime subscription key entry with service lock for Americas.

Viewing Downloaded POI Icons
First, I am a Rookie. I downloaded a POI file along with an icon. Renamed the icon; i.e. same name except bmp extension, placed it in the same folder as the POI file. Used POI loader to transfer it to an SD card.
The file shows up in the Extras category on my Garmin C530, however, where or when should I actually see the icon which was downloaded? Or are the icons not supported on the C530?

Garmin Nuvi SMS text message support
Has anyone found a working combination of a bluetooth cell phone displaying/sending text messages with your Nuvi?
I get a lot of 'work related' text messages that I would like to be able to see with my Nuvi while driving...

POI's showing on MapSource question
I have plotted a route from Massachusetts to Naples, Florida that I have not taken before. Is there anyway that I can get my custom POI's to show along the route on MapSource. The Find function in MapSource does not find the custom POI's either. I have downloaded the POI's to MapSource using the POI Loader.

Discontinued Garmins
What are the pro's & con's of purchasing a discontinued Garmin unit. I'm looking at the 650 vs. 750. The 650 is discontinued. One advantage of the discontinued is cost. But what are the downsides.
Also, someone on this forum said the 260 is old technology, what was meant by that comment. I thought the Nuvi 260 was a new addition.
