Garmin nuvi 660w Maps Question

I just purchased my new Garmin 660w and found that the maps loaded are missing many roads in my area. I registered my nuvi and it stated that I have the most up to date maps. There are roads missing that have been in use for over a year and a half now.

Need Help with POIs and Google Maps

Hi! I'm planning a trip to maine and desparately need help as I'm not techno saavy and have never done this before.
I downloaded POI rest stops along Rt 84 and it entered my nuvi under "extras". Question: Can I down load only specific destinations instead of the entire POI? How is this done?

Handlebar mount

I will be starting rehab on my knee today, and my doctor told me that I could start to ride my bicycle.
I have ordered this mount from Garmin. Has anybody tried one?

Voice Files

I have been using the TTS Editor and really enjoy the versatility it gives the user. While my question is probably answered somewhere on this site I need help locating it or maybe a quick answer. If you delete the extra voice files from your unit will there be any additional space made available for use by the user.

When making Poi's should you use Note Pad or Excel?
Because I'm getting nothing but trouble.

C530 Shuts Off When SD card Is In slot...

Hi, Well I have always loaded most of the POI's onto my SD card since I first got the c530 for Christmas. To say the least I have accumulated many different POI's. Anyway just recently after doing the usual POI Loader installation, the c530 after I start it up seems OK then shuts itself off. If I remove the SD card the unit is just fine.

Recen Software Updates/Unusual Behavior

Sorry I have not been around for awhile...hectic summer (but have been using my Garmin 660 throughout!).

Has anyone experienced any unusual problems after the two most recent software updates? I am now at version 4.5. I have found the following:

1. Seems to take longer to find satellites after turning the unit on.

??? about Streetpilot 2720

Is there anyway to turn off the feature that shows airport names on the 2720???? I've played with all the settings I can find and haven't run across it yet??

Really don't need to see all the airports with names.

Adding POI

Is there a way on the 660 that I can add poi's without deleting the poi's I have in there already ?

Garmin World Clock

Maybe just me, but is there a way to manually set a timezone other than the few pre-defined cities that come with the unit?
