nuvi advice / map of Europe
Greetings.
I am in the market for a GPS and I am leaning toward nuvi 360. I would like to have some advice on selecting a right model.
Feature that I liked.
1) small size to be both hand-held and used in a car.
(nuvi 660 seems too wide to carry in your pocket.)
2) map of US

Updated maps and POI for Garmin
I am about to pick up a C550, but I am wondering if anyone knows what the status is of the packaged maps/poi's included with the C550 is.
I'm trying to prevent buying the unit and a week later having to shell out $75 for the most up-to-date maps.

C530 simulation speed
Hi, newbie here.
I returned my I5 after a week because it was too small and had limited mapping functions, and I now have been having fun playing with my C530 which arrived today!
About running a trip simulation with GPS off:
Is there a way to adjust the speed at which the unit proceeds through the simulation? It seems to be awful slow, maybe even real time.
Thanks,

Does Straight Matter?
I've never really thought of this until now and this may be a totally stupid question.
Does having the c340 or any GPS for that matter perfectly straight aligned with the road matter for it calculating the direction your going such as N,S,E,W.
I like to point my c340 at an angle towards me so I can see/read it while I'm driving.

Proximity Alert
Do all Custom POI files contain proximity alerts or will that information be specified by the creator?
Thanks

Red Light POIs question
Do I have to select or enable the Red Light POIs GPS unit each time I use it? or is there a setting I can use to make it default? Is there a way I can integrate the POI’s, so it will warn me while I am on my current route? Also, can I change the alerts for this feature to give it a specific sound?
Thanks for all of your help.

c530 POI issues?
Is anyone else having problems getting custom POI's to display on their Garmin c530? I've loaded the latest (02/07) Software version 5.20.
POI loader seems to be happy with my .csv files and uploads fine. The poi.gpi file shows up fine in the POI directory. It's just that when you select "Extras" the "Custom POI" screen that comes up is blank.

Garmin Splash Screen Formats
If someone would give me the format's for the different Garmins I will be glad to make some up with my photography I do.
If you want to send me a sample splash screen from your GPS I will be glad to make some up.
I have the 2720 and I don't think there are to many of us here.

Screen Shots and C530
I have a 2gb SD card in the unit. I have POI's loaded on the SD card which was created by the POI loader. I can't get the screen shot feature to work. I can change the splash screen because I have all my pictures in the folder I created called splash screens. I have the latest firmware update dated 2/7/07 and still have difficulty with the feature?

Use my nuvi 350 in Europe?
Greetings,
We have just purchased a nüvi 350 and find it very useful locally! I've been impressed so far over the last two weeks. Only once did it 'burp'. We were on the interstate and beside a service rode. I swerved to miss debrise in the road and the nuvi thought I was on the service road and tried to redirect the route. So, really more my fault that its....

Syncing multiple Nuvi 660's
I've spent a lot of time entering locations into my 660's "favorites" file. How can I set up another 660 so that its "favorites" file displays the same information, without doing it manually? Will simply copying the contents of the POI folder from the first, then pasting into the POI folder of the second do the trick?

A better route is available.
My c-340 has recently started announcing that there is a better route available, but it does not give me any other options. I have City Nav N. America NT v8. Any ideas? Thanx all.
