Garmin talk

I have had a Garmin StreetPilot 2730 since last year. Ihave dowloaded quite a few Custom POIs and now I am wondering how the memory is partitioned. Is it hard partitioned or soft partitioned. For example, if I have a number of Custom POIs downloaded, does that reduce the amount of memory available for saving routes?

There's a new version for the nuvi 350. Doesn't look like it does much.

Changes made from version 4.40 to 4.50:
Updated Lithuanian text language

Says it's been out since April 17th. I've been checking most every day and didn't see it until today.

So I've been on here for a week or 2 now and I finally got my new garming in my hand yesterday - I spent the entire evening just driving around and playing with it (the GARMIN!!!) which is not a bright move with gas being like 25 bucks a gallon right? Anyway - I've put in some POI's I've put in my 2G memory card - SOOO....what's next?

ver. 5.70 is out
Changes made from version 5.60 to 5.70:

Corrected problem with loosing final destination points if a route is to long

Does anyone have any interesting splash screens for the nuvi 660 startup routine? I mistakenly deleted the bmp of the original garmin / nuvi can someone post or send to me? -Regards whereuheaded (better bring a garmin)

I love my gps device

Does anyone know if you can have both the ext. mic connected and have ext sound connection?

I currently have my Nuvi connected using the RCA Aux port to my car stereo. I have been contemplating using the ext mic. I noticed the ext mic uses the same jack as the Aux port connection.

Can I use both? Do they make a cable that will support audio out (L/R channel) and audio in?

I downloaded a redlight camera poi into my c550. It shows up under the Custom poi section, just fine. Now according to the manual for these to work I need to change the system settings to enable 'proximity alarms'. Also, according to the manual it states that option is only visible when a custom poi has been loaded.

I have a NUVI 350. It likes to take me down a "local" street that I prefer not to travel (to small).

I changed the vehicle from the "car" to the "truck" and it no longer routes me down that local street.

Has anyone else seen that happen?

When Nuvi is set to go a place, it displays projected time (arriving time) to the destination. Is it possible to display remaining time rather?

Was running errands today and put my nuvi 660 in the arm rest pocket of my Sequoia - the lower deep pocket - at one of my stops but left it on as usual to avoid start up delay. Well, I forgot to pull it out and was driving down the road when I heard a warning bell deep in the arm rest pocket. I realized it was the alarm for a redlight camera intersection I was approaching.

This weekend I came across a few pois that have moved or closed. Is there a way to delete these so i dont end up wasting my time driving to a store that has moved, without waiting for an update for my nuvi 660.

Having just bought a Nüvi 310, that is "As quiet as a Whispered Prayer" :-(, it's looking likely that I'm going to have to connect it to external speakers, in some form or another.

The question is: how robust is that Headphone Jack? - Does anyone have experience of plugging and unplugging it on a daily basis?

Has anyone had this happen? Was running a route that I made using MapSource,US64and US13 in eastern NC, Was on the road I was supposed to be on but the gps showed I was way off to the side(maybe a quarter mile), but it showed the road I had plotted on the screen highlighted so I know the road wasn't to new to be on the mapversion8 that I have. Just wandering why.

Has anyone else had trouble with the C330 hanging up every 5 or 10 minutes. Haning where you have to do a reset and in 10 minutes its hung again. I was using the Map feature no the where to, when this happened it was showing where I was on the road and the speed then it just hung while I was moving.

I have a C330 have not yet tried to load any pois in. Do the cvx files (once all put in computers same directory to ready for loading) have a heading/directory built in so they show up in the "custom pois" as different directories on my garmin...such as restaurants/red lights/speedtraps and so forth Cam

I just recently purchased a used Nuvi 660, but it did not come with the traffic receiver. I love the nuvi, but wondering if it worth the 150+ cost for the FM plug. I live on the north side of Atlanta. The traffic sucks here so bad, that the alternates that I know of are always backed up anyway?

So Atlanta users is it worth your wild or did you re-up your subscription?

I bought one of those 3-legged dashboard mounts for my c330. The power adapter has stopped working. I notice on the adapter plug is a little tag that says "replacement fuse F2A H 250V". But is the fuse replaceable? I can't tell where it lives.

I saw a post where they said they had the 2Gb topo maps installed... what is this and what does it get you?

Having a Forest Gump moment..

I find that I like to set my map to have North UP and not the other two options - 3D or car going up all the time.

If North is up I am less likely to get confused as to where I am heading... but how do you like it?
