Garmin talk

I have noticed that my C530 GPS proposes a different departing route than the return route. It calculates that when leaving home, pass up the first 4 lane access highway to the interstate and drive west to the second 4 lane highway. However, on the return it has determined that the closer highway is a better choice.

I was listening to MP3 music from my Nuvi 660 over the fm output. When I approached a red light camera intersection, I didn't get the audible alert and the song started over. Not sure what happened there. Do you lose alerts when playing MP3's?

As a newbie, I've learned a lot in the last 12 days, but I'm still not clear about:
1.) Where/how does an associated jpg image show up when an alert triggers. In a test POI that I created, I get the red banner, I get the audio, but I don't see the image or the "description".

Hi,
I was trying to update my nuvi350 software from Garmin site and saw this "GPS Chipset Type G" update. Can anybody advise me if I need that for my nuvi350?
Thanks,

I uploaded POI's using Garmin POI loader and when I navigate to Extras > Customs POIs, there are duplicate POI headings. How do I get rid of the duplicate entries? The POI works fine.

When someone makes a file here and has POI icons for it, how do I load those as well onto the device and allocate them appropriately?

I used my Desktop(XP) to update my software for my GPS last year.
My notebook is Windows VISTA.I used it to update my friends C330.It was a no go.Said"The Garmin is having trouble updating,make sure it is plugged in,and on".Been there done that.

I wonder if I can write off my GPS that I use for work has a Tool device?
I could not do with out the GPS for work.Gets me places for road calls,safe and fast.
I can't find my way out of a Brown paper bag without my GPS for work.

Garmin Mobile XT comes on a 2GB microSD card. Is it possible and legal to copy the card to a 4GB card and use the card for both Mobile XT and data?

Thanks.

Map update is free or not?

Thanks in Advance

I've noticed that when using the picture viewer, it's incredibly slow to load thumbnails, and then when you select a picture, it takes a while to load, and then disappears back to thumbnail mode within 3 seconds.

Any known issues with the picture viewer or am I screwing something up here that I don't realize?

Are there any video formats that will play on the nuvi 660 or does it only display .jpg still immages?

Is there someone with the firmware 2.70 version for the Nuvi200W.

With this version tracking is available for the Nuvi200W.

Thanks

I think they are not very durable..........I am on my third one in less then a year.......so I hope everyone who gets a good deal or buys them on ebay gets the extra warranty...........Dave
