Is it possible to remove the unused counties from the language list?

Question to clear understanding on tour guides

I understand that if my Nuvi plays mp3 files (which my Nuvi 350 does), that I can have tour guides.

Say I create a tour guide with truck stops in it.
Then go on a trip that goes by many of these truck stops. I load the tour guide with the truck stops in it but do not point to any of the truck stops as my destination in my trip.

Mapquest??

On My 750 I maped out a route to my sons home. I moved the route to one that is easier and downloaded in to my 750. The download did not show the changes I made before down loading. 2 questions. How do I get it to download the prefered route ( no way points) and 2, can I erase the ones that I downloaded trying to get the one I wanted. I don't want to waste the memory in the 750.

BobCat Help

I've updated to the latest version of Bobcat and have updated my nuvi 750 to the latest software as well. Now I open Bobcat and try it import my latest trips and I get a error screen with my email address that wants me to send a detailed list of what's wrong. All i know is a I can't import my trips and when i try to quit out of Bobcat it freezes up. Any ideas?..................Drew

TMC Traffic

I can't seem to locate anyplace that describes what is an included funtion of the 760 and what is TMC. For example, when I am driving
are speed limits on the highway, 760 or TMC
is elevation, 760 or TMC
Basically, what I am trying to figure out before I have to make a decision is what comes with TMC as opposed to just the functions of the 760.

Nuvi 200 Firmware 4.30

Hi,

Tour Guide and Nuvi 260W

I want to share this information that I obtained from Garmin International:

"The Tour Guide and Tour Guide alerts will work on the Nuvi 260W. You would use the POI Loader program to load the custom POIs to your unit and create you own Tour Guide Alerts or download ones that you have already created."

Microsoft Live

In addition to Google Maps and Mapquest, Microsoft's maps.live.com is able to send locations from its mapping service onto "most Garmin navigators" via MSN Direct (wireless) or USB cable.

VIewing POIs on C550

Is there a way to view POIs on a map in the C550? I have over 13000 POIs in the GPSr and want to look ahead on a trip I am about to take and see what POIs are along the way.

Thanks.

760-Position Drifting

I bought a Nuvi 760 and since new (2 months old) it has never held a stopped position. It constantly drifts and spins. It shows the car icon pointing south, then west...then northeast then south. It shows speeds up to 3.5 mph and I'm not moving. I have used a 350 and a 650 and those never moved.

Streetpilot 580 with 550 firmware

Is this common for streetpilots to have firmware loaded from another device. I just updated my 580 and it said it has the 550 firmware on it. Everything seems to be working fine just thought it was a little weird.

Nuvi 360

Received the unit today and registered it, had problems using Firefox 3 so was able to do it on Explorer 7. Now I wanted to install some POI's to it using the POI download program but it won't find the device error message says couldn't communicate. Am I doing something wrong? I loaded a POI into my wife's c340 no problem.
Thanks

POI enroute

Hi Folks
I am starting to download POI (HD Dealers).
Is it possible to have them show up if they are in the area and not on the direct route.
Thanks

Nuvi 200 firmware update "on the fly"??

I was driving along today when my Nuvi 200 beeped - I looked at it, and there on the screen was a box with a message saying "Updating GPS Firmware". A counter then ran from 0% up to 100%, and the box closed. The Nuvi then reacquired satellites and continued to navigate as it had been doing before. What happened?
