Need a reciept in ATL

Anybody in the Atlanta area who just purchased a Nuvi 660 in the last month, do you have a reciept for your unit that I could have a copy of?

Cant find Proximity alert setting in Garmin c550

Ive loaded some custom POI files.
On one file for rest areas, I put @0 just to try to create a spped or any tiyppe of alert.

Software Update for c330 (vers. 5.50)

I ran webupdater and said version 5.50 of the unit software was available. Interestingly, I don't see it listed on the Garmin site! From what I recall, the update from 5.40 to 5.50 includes improved Mac support and improved custom POI function. But my memory is a little fuzzy on the specifics.

Nuvi 360 external speaker

Has anyone used an external mounted speaker with their Nuvi?

Not through the radio , but it's own separate speaker?

POI's not appearing

I just picked up a Garmin 360 and am getting used to it. The POIs Garmin installed and the ones I manually added appear on the screen as I drive by them. I downloaded some POIs here last week (great site, by the way) onto an SD card. I did not install them onto the 360's drive. I can access them fine through the "My Custom POIs" button and they take me where I want to go.

Nuvi Mount

Well the inevitable has happened ... I left my Nuvi mount in a rental car.

What is the best place to buy a winshield mount for a Nuvi 350.

A New Garmin

I was thinking this evening about the next Garmin that I would like to see. I already have a Garmin Street Pilot 2730, but I really like some of the features of the Garmin Nuvi 650/660 line. This is essentially what I would like:

-wide screen like Nuvi 650/660

-rechargeable internal lithium-ion battery like the Nuvi

-sensitive SiRF chip

Newbie Nuvi Question : Turn indicator way BEFORE turn

On my Nuvi 360 it tells me where the next turn is right after you make a turn. It also tells me when I get close to the turn.

But what if I am driving on a 13 mile stretch and am on mile 1 and want to know which direction (right or left) I am going to turn in 12 miles? I cant figure our a visual or audible indicator.

Charging Battery in house

I have the c330 & c340 Garmin units and I was wondering IF the battery could be charged using a cell phone charger. I have the Moto Razr cell phone with a mini USB charger and is rated at 5.0V and 550mA output.

Review: Garmin Travel Guide - Fodor's North America
Verdict: Limited Usefulness

This is suggested reading before you spend $60. the Travel Guide contains relatively few POIs

Fodor's Sample Data

I recently bought a nuvi 660 and am trying to remove Fodor's Sample Data from the extras. Can this be done?

Adding custom audio proximity features to POI Files

I recently downloaded the red light camera POI file which came in a .csv format. I could easily load these locations onto my nuvi with the Garmin POI Loader and add a proximity alert, but I can't open a .csv in MapSource to easily edit or add to it. I wanted to add a audio file that says "Red light camera ahead" or something like that when I approach these intersections.

Garmin Memory

I just checked the Red Light camera list and see they added alot of cameras in my area. Can some one tell me if on my C 530 if I update the red light camera file will it overwrite my old file or just take up even more internal memory on my unit. Any help would be great. DC

Garmin mounts

I bought a new c530 recently and tried the windshield mount once. In my car mounting on the windshield puts the unit beyond arms length. Also, it was hard to remove.
I bought the bean bag. I set it on top of the dash and it stays put. When leaving the car I place it on the floor close to the driver's door and it is out of sight.

Zumo series mounting options

I'm curious to find out where people have mounted their Zumos (motorcylce mount, that is).

Obviously the kit comes with the generic handlebar mount, and comes with the shift lever conector. Being next to the left hand seems convenient for accessing menus, but mounting towards the center of the handlebar seems like it could keep your eyes on the road more by not having to look as far...

Kenwood 7100

Hey there.. I just had the Kenwood stereo installed in my truck that has the garmin built in. am i able to upload files from her to there does anyone know? not sure of the garmin model but i can find out

Loading POI files

I must be missing something here. I downloaded and installed POI Loader from Garmin for the Model C340.
I downloaded a couple of POI files. When I run the POI Loader I see the 'csv' files in it but absolutely nothing happens. The Garmin is turned on, the latest software from Garmin is installed and I have an XP PC. Please help? Thanks! Jim Oldfield Jr.

Interesting problem on my C330

A couple of days ago, I touched my favorites to locate a stop. When I touched the button on the screen, the button to the immediate right activated and it went to that screen. It did this several times,and I finally tried a reset. This cleared the problem...........for awhile. A couple of hours later, the problem re-occured. Is this a common problem with the touchscreens?
