Garmin talk

Anyone have a good recommendation about a case for the c330? I'm presently using a generic camera case, but something smaller and maybe fitted would be nice... Thanks!

Anybody can tell me where I can turn DST on or off for the Garmin iQue M5? Thanks.

I am wondering if anyone here has tried GPS Warn?

I was thinking that it might be handy to enter my name and address in the start-up sequence.

Hi; I'm going on atrip to London & Germany in July and would like to know if there are less expensive map software for the Nuvi 660.

Paying $299 for Europe maps for a few days is kind of expensive...

Thanks

I just purchased by Nuvi 660 and pretty much have everything up and running except for the memory card. I have a SanDisk 2gb card that is formated Fat 32 and works fine in my Treo 700 and other card readers that I have. The card is also recognized by my computer when I put it in the Nuvi 66O and plug it in to the competer via the USB connection.

Still no DST update for the Nuvi 350. All other Garmins have been updated but the 350. I don't understand how they can forget about the Nuvi 350 users. It may be one of the oldest Nuvi models out there but I'm guessing that the 350 users out number all the rest put together.Could it be they just forgot about us?

Nuvi 350

Unit software updated:

Changes made from version 5.30 to 5.40:

* Added Brazilian Portuguese voice language support
* Updated for United States Daylight Saving Time change
* Corrected incorrect display of route calculation error
* Added support for the modified drawing styles present in certain specialty maps

On Garmin's site:

Changes made from version 2.4.0 to 2.4.1:

* Fixed issue where Garmin installers using WebUpdater were unable to verify that the update succeeded.

Does anyone know when Garmin is releasing updates to the internal maps? My nuvi 350 does not have some of the new roads in NW Raleigh.

I still tinker with my Nuvi while driving. I would push the screen fewer times if there was an option to get back to the navigation map (instead of clicking "Back" to get to "View map").

Anyone know if that is even possible?

Anyone know if there is a faceplate out there that has a visor on it to shield it from the sun a little? I use my C530 on my bike (motorcycle) and it would be nice if the front of the unit had a small visor on it.

Hello,
Please be gentle with me? I am a new user in the life of gps. I am learning and growing. I am having a hard time learning how POI files work, I mean I realize the intention. I just need some support. When I load these POI files to my device, would I need additional space on my sd card? Also are there any speed limit alerts and school zones for my area? I am lost.

HELP ME

Just passing this on in case anyone else has been waiting for MapSource ...

I requested from Garmin support the MapSource software to go with my new c530 two weeks ago, but it hasn't shown up yet.

I called support tonight, and the rep said the disc has been out of stock for 3 weeks. They hope to get more within a week or so, but no guarantees of course.

Anyone know how to do this for the "Favorites"?

Update for the c550 is here. Also for the 510 and 530
Garmin must be updating their website as I'm doing this.

Unit Software
* StreetPilot c550 Ver. 5.30 as of Mar 08, 2007

( Daylight savings time fix is one thing addressed )

However, I went back to copy the link to post, and the update said

Unit Software
* StreetPilot c550 Ver. 5.20 as of Feb 05, 2007

Mapsource 6.12.2 (not the beta version, the production version) is now available for download from Garmin.

These are the changes from 6.11.6

Changed the default file format to GDB version 3.

Added web links. This feature allows user created internet search options to appear on context menus.

These search options can use either location or name information.

Added a MiniMap.

A comment from another forum about the new Nuvi 680
A statement from a Nuvi 680 User:

I bought the Nuvi 680 on Thursday and let me tell you...this thing is by far the best Nuvi out there. (Without offending people, I'll go so far as to say the best GPS available on the market).
The Nuvi 680 is very similiar to the 660. The major differences I've noticed so far are:

Discovered the i3 is now under $200.00 at wallyworld and a terrific lil easy to use gps and passing it along.

Hi,

I bought a Garmin c550 from eBay which the unit has been locked.
I tried to contact the seller but he is not respond yet.
Does anyone knows how to unlock this unit?

Thanks,

There is an update to the Fm Transmitter software available. I have a 660 and was prompted when running WebUpdater to upgrade from 3.9 to 4.00. Not sure what other devices this would include.
