User numbers

I just noticed that the user numbers are no longer displayed at the bottom of the screen. This has probably been gone for awhile, but I just noticed it is gone. I'm probably dense and after I hear from a few of the members here at the factory, I know I'm going to feel like a dummy but the questions needs to be asked; where did they go?

how many beeps

i notice sometimes my garmin will beep 3 times when approaching a red lite camera, other times it will beep 2, and even 1. is there a reason for the different number of beeps, or is it my garmin?

New member introduction

New member here. I've had an old Garmin eTrex Legend for *ever* (not really for auto use), but I just recently got a Garmin nuvi 57LM on clearance at Wal*Mart for like $75. I bought it on a whim (while on a trip) and have been playing with it along the way back home. Then I starting googling about a few (geeky) aspects of using it, and several of the links led me to this website.

has anyone used UPS follow my delivery?

It's pretty interesting, I saw a package go from the airport, to my house.

It may not be that useful in a personal/residential situation, but in a business critical one it could be.

Someone probably knows how it works, but it has to be able to use the GPS of the vehicle, and link it to all the packages it's carrying, then show the truck on a map....
