"Severe Traffic"..Unconditional re-route?
This seems odd..
This week while on vacation I took a ride to work(downtown chicago) and the GTM20 did a great job..but..
On the way to chicago, it got a lil backed up on 290. No alert. But this was while in the INBOUND lane. In the outbound lane there was an overturned and burnt out tanker truck. The delay was minimal, Just rubberneckers. So no biggy. I figured thats 'how it worked'.

Alerts Redlight is bad on my Zumo 550
O.K. I guess I played around and mess it up without backing up. So here is my problem, and maybe someone here can figure a way to fix it.

My Nuvi 350 has been discontinued.
My Nuvi 350 has been discontinued, therefore, I guess you could call it obsolete. I assume Garmin will not have any more updates for it? If I keep updating the maps each year how long do you think I will be able to use it before it becomes too old? I only bought it 2 months ago and they already discontinued it. Thanks

Altitude
Just curious. I am new to the Nuvi200W. Does it tell you the altitude you are at?
Thanks.

nüvi wishlist
There are two routing features that I'd love to see – sadly, my nüvi 750 has neither.
- Closed Road / Road Blocks
- I've run into a few places where there is technically a road, but it's a gated access or otherwise inaccessible. It would be nice to mark a point or a section of road "unroutable".
- Preferred Routes / Shortcuts

MSN Direct and new 765T
I already have an Nuvi 680, will the MSN receiver work wiht the new 765T. The site says it is MSN ready but does not come with the receiver like the 785T.
Also once subcribed, is the receiver interchangable i.e. the serial number is assocated with the receiver, not the GPS unit.

Current.gpx
I did a hard re-set on my 770 (to try and fix the lag problem).
As I'd read, I copied the current.gpx to my computer first, did the hard re-set, then copied the current.gpx back to the Nuvi. It looks like the file transfers, but everytime I turn on the GPS it reverts back to a much smaller current.gpx - no favorites, no home location.

Chevron Gas Station POI
Greetings.....What a great site, I just loaded the Red Light Camera POIs on my Zumo 550 which I have installed on my BMW K1200S and what a cool setup.
My question is, what would be the steps to create a Chevron Gas Station POI for Texas or the USA. Would Chevron USA be any help.
Thanks for your comments.

What is so great about the new models?
I have a Nuvi 350 that performs great, however, I see there are numerous new models available. What are the attractions to all the new models? What features do they have that are really beneficial? At some point I will give my 350 to my wife and buy another model but I am not sure exactly what I am missing. Thanks

Lost .gtt files
Well, not paying attention, I deleted the .gtt files. Downloading and installing the updates via the updater only restored the British English gtt files. I can't get the American English files restored.

NEW GPS Owner! :-) 770
Hi all,
I just got my first GPS unit. Garmin Nuvi 770.
I've been searching all around for cool things for it. I stumbled upon this site.
I love it! I love the POI that everyone adds.
I checked and I have the 2009 maps 
Anyways. I"ll be on the here a lot.
Thanks all in advance!
Which Garmin would you get?
Hi All,
Been getting use to my Nuvi 680 and was wondering what those with more experience with GPS systems think about the 6xx, 7xx and 8xx series.
I got the 680 at Costco, for our trip down to Baltimore, MD from Toronto, ON and I've been trying to create a route on it that would somewhat match the one that we take when using the MS Streets & Trips off the laptop.
