Messages (nuvi says it found a better way to go)

I just got back from visiting family in North Dakota. While there we were going to an Indian casino in Harkinson Dakota. We were in Fargo and take rt 29 to get there. I got a few messages from my NUVI 350 that it found a better way to go.

School Bus Traffic Stop Laws

Does anyone know definitively the law regarding the rules on when motorists are required to stop when school buses have their flashing red lights on? I am curious about traffic on the other side of the road going the opposite direction of the school bus.

I think some rules vary from state to state so any information on California would be most helpful.

White Castle USA_V3.csv loads on 670 not 880

Hi All,

I downloaded the “White Castle USA_V3.csv“ file and uploaded it to my Nuvi 670 successfully, however, the same file won’t load on my Nuvi 880.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks for your time.

Regards,

Just Got Back From Hawaii

and used Garmin on the Big Island and Oahu. It took us without fail to every location we wanted to go to. In my opinion it saved hours and hours of driving around and trying to get to them by using a map. Anyone going to Hawaii should either take one with them or get one with the rental car. Don't leave home for Hawaii without one.....

New CA auto glass rule impacts portable GPS users

California is at it again. The new ruling on automobile glass will impact portable GPS users as well as other users like Cell phone (although my concern is with GPS). Overpriced built-in units will likely not be affected, as they tend to have external mounted antennas.

For the story, see here:

MSN Direct "lifetime" no longer available.

I am really bumbed. I just bought another 885T, thinking I would purchase another lifetime verion of MSN Direct but after calling MSN Direct, I learned that it was no longer offered. Only the free trial and the annual at $49.95. If I had known this a week ago, I could have purchased the lifetime version from them. Too late now. I am surprised that I didn't see this in any posts, here.

Navteq Map reporter test and help needed.

I would like to test the theory that the more reports/hits they get on a map update the sooner it gets into the database.

GPS causing truckers to crash into bridges!

Here's another reason you should be watching the road more than your GPS smile

"ALBANY, N.Y. — New York state wants to crack down on truckers who rely on satellite devices to direct them onto faster but prohibited routes and end up crashing into overpasses that are too low for their rigs".

determine what map version I have

This is probably a dumb question, I have a Nuvi 1350, how can I tell what map update version I have on my machine

More GPS legislation proposed (truckers)

NY Truckers beware:

Are GPS devices really to blame though?

Computer Crash

Its been weeks since I was last on. My computer crashed and it has taken several weeks to restore links that I viewed daily. Glad to be back among the factory viewers.
