The Garmin c330 is now discontinued.I guess there will be no more updates.

Anyone know how to have your POI's sorted alpha-merically on a Garmin 680? When I use the POI loader, I point to my POI's on my harddrive. They are in order but once they load to the 680 they are not in any particular order I can see. I even took every POI and changed the date and time stamp to see if that would work, but to no avail.

I noticed that the Garming 680 has about 557 mb of usable memory. If you use Windows Explore, you can move the 2 pdf manuals to your hard drive. This will get you about 4 mb back. Now, look into the voices folder. I deleted/backed up first, all the voices other than English. I went from 561 mb to 802 mb free and everything still works.

Can I use the car adapter with my 360 while navigating with the GPS? Or does run off the battery only? Every time I plug the adapter in the Nuvi it goes to charge mode. I have to unplug the adapter in order for it to navigate.

Nuvi 650.

Downloaded and installed red light camera POI. Works okm but....

1. The alert tone (a gentle 'bong, bong') is akin to elevator doors opening. Can I somehow change the alert tone to something more... agressive?

Hi,

This is my first post and I am kinda overloaded with too much info right now!!

How can I know if my maps are the latest version (i.e. version 8)? Do you I have to pay fees for upgrade?

Thanks.

Has anyone found a way to delete languages and/or voices that aren't being used? This is on the C340 so I can't just read it like a mass storage device and delete them.

I don't know how true this is it was posted on another Web site (Yahoo) group Garmin C330 and was wondering if anyone else has heard this ??? Also if it is true how will it affect support ?

I have a Garmin 360 and a Verizon XV6700 phone that is not currently listed as being on the list of being compatible although it works with just the basic functions. Is there anyway to download or upgrade my 360 to use all of the different blue-tooth function functions the it is capable of performing? I tried to contact Garmin through there customer support web-site but got no response.

I'm looking for a "how to" on making custom BMP files for my nuvi 660. I've searched, and haven't found a great deal. Any help? Much appreciated!

Just posted update 3.80 - enhanced touch screen operations

I just got a Garmin Street Pilot c530 and its awsome but I am having trouble with the POI loader...It works fine to load one file but when i try to uplaod new stuff after, it erases/overwrites whatever was there already. How can I stop it from doing this? Thanks,

I have a Nuvi 650, updated with latest firmware as of June 20, 2007. Webupdater works well with this GPS. But Nroute doesn't see any USB devices.

Is nroute supposed to work with a Nuvi over USB?

I bought two Garmin c340 units within the last two weeks. One has City Navigator North America NT 2008. The other has City Navigator North America NT V8. What is the difference between the two and which is newer?

I've downloaded some of the alternative vehicle icons from the garmin site but they don't have anything that represents a person (if I am in pedestrian mode). Does anybody know of a site where one can get additional "vehicles"?

How much memory space is available for custom POI on the Garmin c340? It doesn't seem to be overly advertised anywhere, so it must be a small amount and hidden in the fine print!

Thanks,

Garmin has a few new vehicles out - look here. There's an RV that looks like a 1970's/80's era Winnebago, off-roading Jeep, and race car & race truck.

So I used the Webupdater to install V3.80 software into my 660. After the install, I got the usual "install more software" screen (the one where you can install new vehicle icons, voices etc).

Went to Oklahoma to ride ATV's this weekend and noticed something strange on my 660. This was my first "real test" of the unit.

Hey guys, new member here! I was just wondering, is the Nuvi impact resistant? I'm thinking about taking it camping and hiking for fun. I'm just afraid that it'll break when I drop it. Worse, I'm too afraid to get it wet when I go fishing. Anyone have any experiences dropping their Nuvi or getting it wet?
