Garmin talk

I have a StreetPilot c530
Is there anyway to disable the estimated time of arrival or to have it calculate traffic? Its really annoying when driving in the city to get estimated arrival time that is an hour off!
Thanks,

Hello all. I just got a Garmin c330. I was wondering where you guys have had the most luck in placement.

I was thinking about the windshield below the rearview mirror, but then I'd have to stretch to reach it. (I have a Dodge Durango) I was thinking on the dash in the upper left on the windshield as well.

I want to put it in the best spot so I don't have to reposition it.

We have just returned to the UK after 2 weeks touring New England. We thought we would give our opinion of the 670.

We updated the unit with the version 8 USA maps prior to leaving the UK.

It seems to me that the only POIs that show up on my map (without choosing them as a destination) are POIs that I have recently accessed - is this accurate?

As an example, I added my daughter's gymnastics school as a favorite (from Garmin's POIs). And when I drive past it on the highway - there it is on the map.

Hello everybody

have the Nuvi 350. When i was installing the Garmin Language Guide from SD card I copied to the main unit. Power off the unit and but my other SD card with mps and my custom POI back in to my suprise could not see the custom POI. The data is still there check with pc. what to do.

Ok, here is a novice question, what is that little round circle with a red dot in the middle where you view the satellites? I get the moon and the sun, but dont get what the circle with the red dot is.

Hey Guys,
I am travelling out of the country in a few weeks,and was hoping to find a good travel case to protect my Garmin C 530. I am carrying it in my carry on but with all the inspections and rough conditions I wanted a good hard case to protect my unit. Any help you guys could lend would be great. Thanks in advance. DC

Hello Everybody

Just got the Nuvi 350. will be traveling to Mexico and other countries. Will be getting the sd card for the country. After installing the sd card do you have to be in that country to find a location to go to. Do you spell the name where to what to go this is where i am a little brain dead.

thanks and have a good day

Does anybody out there have the nuvi 670? I am thinking of getting one, but would like the opinions of others that have used one or have compared it to other units.

Thanks!

Anyone know who sells just the mounting arm like the one on the Garmin Portable Friction Mount? I'm looking for a one piece arm with a base on one end that I can fasten down with screws and a ball on the other end that works with my Nuvi 680 cradle. - Thanks

What is the verdict on the new 2008 Maps? Is it worth the cost to update or are the changes few and in very remote areas? What about the POIs? Have the new maps been out there long enough to form an opinion. I am using City Navigator North America NT v8.

Newbie here

I'm practically torn between the C530 and Nuvi 200.
The price is the same, size is a factor, but so is the nice mount on the c530.

I just bought a Nuvi 660 after some intensive research pretty much pointed to this model as one of the top choices.

I love the screen image, size, sound quality with bluetooth connected to my Treo 755 and the basic ease of use, but…

I there a way for me to enter phone numbers or other data for a saved location in the GPS?

Anyone has POI for Singapore, Malaysia

Garmin released Software Version 3.30 for the nuvi 2xx series. Some of you might already know this since it came out a month ago. I just installed it and with give it a test run today.

I am signed up for Garmin eMail alerts, but they don't seem to work because I have never gotten an eMail notifying me of a software update.

I have a Nuvi 200 that I just bought through Woot.com and it's my first GPSr. How can I tell what version of mapdata is installed in the unit? I can't find and version data in the software, and the Garmin site is less than helpful as well...

Thanks,
Dave
