Copying MP3's and JPEG files to my Nuvi 360

I just can't seem to find the following in any great detail in the owner's manual. Any help is greatly appreciated.

1) When I copy files to my Nuvi 360, either to the unit itself or to a SD card, do I have to copy the files into folders named "MP3" or "JPEG" in order for the unit to be able to recognize there are other files there that I wish to have it pull up?

MapSource and eTrex

Should I be able to manage my waypoints on my eTrex with MapSource as I can manage my Favorites on the nuvi?

I have not been able to find any info in the eTrex or MapSource documentation to indicate that this is possible.

Garmin does sell a program to do this, but I'd rather not buy another program to do what MapSource should be able to do.

Nuvi 660 locks up

I have had a Garmin Nuvi 660 for about 4 months and love it. However, at least twice on long trips it has mysteriously locked up. If you turn it off and back on everything returns to normal. Anyone else experience this?

Map Uninstall

Does anyone know how to uninstall maps on their GPS?
In trying to get back to v8 from NT 2008, was told by Garmin to just uninstall NT 2008 and reintsall v8. Unfortanately can't find any instruction as to "how to"
Anyone?

Garmin City Navigator NT North America V7 (DVD)

Hello

I was wondering if an older version of the City Navigator NT North America V7 (DVD)can be sold to someone else providing you have the unlock code for it.

I was going to bid on this version for my Garmin 76CSX but for some reason the person pulled it from the Ebay Auction. They where selling a new original with an unlock code.

12 Volt power cord

I hate my long power cord. I only need one about 3ft long. Has anyone cut one in to and made it shorter?

Is This Really an Update?

The Garmin web site for my nuvi 660 says the latest maps are "Map Update 2008 City Navigator® North America NT". Map info in my nuvi says "City Navigator North America NT v8". These look vaguely similar. Is the web site really an update to what my nuvi has loaded?

Free map updates - How did we fare?

I did a non-scientific survey of postings on this forum relating to obtaining a free update of maps for the Garmin GPS models. I was surprised at the end result, and I wanted to share it with the rest of the group.

Did you get a free update to 2008 maps?

Since so many have reported inconsistancies with Garmin's map update process, I was just curious. Please respond to this thread if you have an experience (either positive or negative) with getting the latest map version for your Garmin GPSr.

Nuvi rated best for UK Speed Traps

The UK site AutoExpress tested a large group of GPS units with speed trap warnings. The nuvi 660 was the highest rated due to it's interface, routing, and warning abilities.

Anyone know what ordering logic it's using?

I used to think when you select the "Near..." option to search for a different city, it would display in the alphabetical order. So imagine my surprise when I entered 'Glendale' (next city from where I live) and didn't see Glendale, AZ show up (it's not a small city either with the population of 250,000+ and home to NHL Phoenix Coyotes and NFL Arizona Cardinals).

nuvi - Odd Routing

Just got back from a trip to SoCal. Put Sheila through her paces, but came up confused. I'll try to explain, then I hope someone here can explain what happened.

Driving west on I-210 in the Pasadena area, from I-57. Destination was to Pasadena City College (I forget the exact address).

Entering Text - auto capitalize

Has anyone else had an occasional problem with the Nuvi (660) not automatically capitalizing the first letter of an entry? When it does happen, it usually is when I backspace to delete existing text. Sometimes it will auto-cap, sometimes it will not.

Loose Garmin Ball Mount - EASY FIX

After six months the ball mount on my c530 became loose enough that the GPS would not stay in the set position. As I drove, the bumps caused it to drop. I removed the metal spring band and did my best to tighten it so it would grip the ball mount tighter. That helped a little but was not a total fix.

What is the red dot on the satellite map?

On my nuvi when looking at the satellite map there is a grey circle with a red dot on the outside ring. The dot changes position but I cannot figure out what it is. What does that dot represent?

Curious blue line along the road (on my Nuvi 350)

I just received my 350 yesterday, and was out trying it out last evening. As I drove along one road, a strange blue line (obviously drawn) appeared irregularly, along the road I was driving on, on the map. This line disappeared in a mile or so and did not reappear until I got back to that specific portion of road a couple of hours later. What was I seeing?

Visual route numbers on the 350?

Am I missing something on my 350?

Updating to 2008 maps on C330

I have updated to the 2008 maps on my c330. As you may know there is not enough memory on the c330 to load all the maps to the unit and you have to pick between Canada and the USA.

New to the POI world

I am new to the POI world and have a few questions.

1. How do I know how much room I have on my c330 for custom POIs
2. Will downloading POIs from here erase the ones that were preloaded?
3. How do I create POI files?

Thanks
