Different Coordinate Formats
Does anyone know if there is a way to add different formats on a Garmin Nuvi? I have a Nuvi 370 and would like to be able to use MGRS format. All mine allows now is Lat/Long and British National Grid. All of my other Garmin products with the exception of the nuvi have let me use MGRS. Does anyone know if there is a workaround for this?

Install New Map Updates COMPLETELY on SD Card - c530
Hi, Can you install ALL the new maps on the SD card? I wonder if you could. They say that you will have to put the 48 states in the unit and then put Canada and the Provinces on the SD card. What would happen if you just put everything on the SD card?

2GB or 4GB cards - which is better
I recently got some good deals on SD cards at a boxing day sale.
I bought a couple 2GB and a couple 4GB cards because I wasn't sure which would be better in my nuvi 650. I'm looking to keep one kind and return the other.
I understand there are some limitations regarding the # of mp3 files that can be stored on an SD card or read by the GPS unit.

2 gig SD card $13.95 shipped
Need an SD card for your Nuvi? Buy.com has a 2 gigabyte Kingston card for $13.95, with free shipping. It's a full sized SD card, not a mini or micro. I have no connection with Buy.com except as a customer; I bought two 1 gig micro SD cards from them recently and was satisfied with both the product and the service.

.vpm files QUESTION ???
If I make my own set of voice files, do the individual sound bytes (wav files) have to be the exact same size as the original, or when I make my new .vpm file will it adjust accordingly and recognize the new lengths of the wavs and just go by the filenames and play the clip no matter if its a second or so longer?

Hi all,
Does anyone have a POI file for the YMCA locations? More specifically, I'm looking for locations in Ontario.

NUVI 360 bug?
Has anyone experienced a bug where the navigator tell you to go South when it means North? For example, it will say take route 29 South when it means route 29 North. Once I take the correct direction(North) it knows I am on the correct one...

Garmin Mobile XT on Palm Treo 755p
Has anyone got .mp3 files to work for alerts on the Palm Garmin Mobile XT software for a Palm cell phone Treo like the Treo 755p ?
The alert tone works as does a .bmp file. The file names are all exactly the same for the .csv .bmp and .mp3 files for input to POI Loader.

Good Garmin CSRs
I'd seen this brought up often, so I decided to start it and see how it went.

Josh Moran; Wonderful Garmin CSR- very polite, professional, knowledgeable, and helpful.
Requested his supervisors email and sent him a letter to let him know how appreciative I'm that he has guys like this on his team.
