I have a Garmin Nuvi 260W, and a 2GB SD card. I do not know how to inbsert the SD card. I am fearful of pushing it in, and then finding that it was not properly inserted. I hope someone can describe how I should insert the card. Thanks

topo maps
Has anyone loaded topgraphic maps to their Nuvi? I have a 660. Can the topo map be removed or does it stay forever?

MAP UPDATES FOR GARMIN C330
Can anyone tell me if there is a way I can download map updates for Garmin C330. The only thing I could find was the Garmin site which charges $69.00.

Hats off to Garmin (itching to drop)
I must say that Garmin makes a great product. Not long after I purchased a nuvi 750 I walked into a closed patio door and dropped the unit to a hard tile floor. I was shocked, not at hitting the door but, at the 750 hitting the floor. I assumed it was dead. To my surprise it worked perfectly and didn't have a scratch on it. I must confess I kissed it a couple of times.

Google Earth Plus
I have a Garmin 260 which does not allow importing routes from Mapsource. Would there be any difference if I was to pay the $20 per year for Google Earth Plus which has a GSP output function?

A word about installing maps to a sd card
While installing maps to a SD card using MapSource I noticed that if you installed Brazil on a SD card and then later installed Mexico on the same card, it was like a poi and over-wrote the previously installed map.

Loading POIs onto The NUVI Drive or SD Drive or BOTH
In playing around with my Nuvi750 I found what might be called a quirk.
If you save your Custom POIs to your Nuvi Drive they will be located at X:\Garmin/Poi\poi.gpi

Nuvi 200 track logs and new software 4.10 vs. 3.40
I assume that the nuvi 200 is capable of putting down a track log. I see now there is a way to enable this:
http://www.marcforrest.com/2007/11/15/garmin-nuvi-200-track-...
--a hidden setting that enabled if I used the older firmware 3.40)
Questions
Is there a way to do the bread-crumb thing with the Software version 4.10? (running the new 09 map update if that matters)

help with gpx and garmin nuvi 350
I want to use the nuvi 350 to display some bicyle routes. i downloaded the gpx file two different ways - directly to the unit and also to the media card. i can see the file on the card via windows explorer. but on the unit, all i can get is directions to the start of the bike ride, not the route itself.

nüvi newbi questions
Guys,
I just bought the nüvi 760 and so far am loving it. I never thought I would want one (I have a really good sense of direction and have been reading maps since I was six) but having lived in a village outside London for the past few years, I have seen how cool they are! (It seems everyone has one flavor or another of GPS there.)

Cheap Second GPS Unit
Have a Nuvi 680. Was wondering what people suggest as a second unit. Don't need Bluetooth or traffic, just basic unit to leave in a second car that may not even be used that often.
Thanks

Streetpilot c330 need New Brunswick Nova Scotia POI's
First of all, new member here, hello to all.
Read here all morning, sucessfully DL'd various poi's, redlight cams, etc, live tested, all working great!
THANKS!
Making trip to above next month, would love any/all POIs, especially B&B's, as we're shying away from usual hotels.
My c330 is perfect for this trip, also have Garmin GPSMap 60CSX for topo work, etc.
Great site, thx to all.

POI in red light alert
Is there any reason I can't put trip POI's in the red light alert and get an alert when I'm near a POI? I'm taking a trip to the CAD Rockies and don't want to miss the scenic wonders when I'm off the beaten path.

Is anyone having a problem getting sattelites after loading the update 3.0? Appears to me to be taking quite a bit longer...
