Welcome / open talk

Later this month I'll be going to Minneapolis/St. Paul. This 1,068(as says in the gps) will have me waste a lot of money on trip. Before I go, I wonder if there was any good poi's I could put on my favorites. I already downloaded all the poi files in the Minneapolis City Project. Just wondering if there is anything else that might be interesting for me to see.

Has anyone purchased the NT 2009 update yet? If so can you tell that much difference between it and the NT 2008? What's the difference in the maps?

I am planing to upgrade my Streetpi;ot c340. I like the features of the c550, specifically (TTS-Street Names, Bluetooth and MP3). I am considering a Nuvi. Can someone tell me which Nuvi model compares to the SP c550 most closely. I do like routing and fm transmitter in addition to other features mentioned, but I am looking for the closest match. The nuvi's overall size appeals to me.

Hey, found multiple errors in the Baltimore area security camera file... how do I update on this site (or notify admins)?

This is the place to talk about things that are not gps related, you can discuss whatever you would like, as long as it is clean. Remember we have families that have their children involved in the GPS fun and we don't want to make parents feel uncomfortable when their children ask what that word means.

Have fun...

This thread will be closed on Monday and a new one will be opened.

This week has been such a wonderful productive week at the factory that I find myself overwhelmed with the decision of the COW awards.

I look out at a sea of contributors and have found at least 5 worthy people.

This is not a bad problem to have it is just a tough one because I would not want someone feeling unappreciated after all their great contributions.

FYI.

I have been such a moron for not listing to others advice about the beanbag mount. For more than a year now I have spent hours devising different ways to mount my Nüvi. My last try was to fabricate a tall tubular thing that I glued the black disk to for using the sucson cup mount.

Hi. I'm new here so pardon the stupid question. What is the definition of a "combined" list? How does it differ from a simple list? Thanks.

I thought I would say Hi, to everyone. This is a nice website you have here. I never knew it existed until I started researching GPS's.

I live in a suburb (15 min from the strip)of Las Vegas, so if I can help you with any POI's in my location, I'd love to put my new nuvi 760 to work. I really don't understand the "jist" of it but I'm sure if I continue reading I can figure it out.

Gas prices are on the rise, and the summer driving season is expected to bring even higher prices at the pump.

Many GPS models already have a powerful feature that could save you hundreds of dollars each year: the ability to view fuel prices at nearby gas stations. Here's how it wo

Just wanted to let everyone know that :

MapSource software version 6.14.0.1 Beta
as of May 29, 2008
is out

I switched to msn-direct last month. Has attractive menus of various info. I find things kinda slow though with the updating(I DO leave it plugged in). I have seen flash flood icons on the main screen and when pressed lots of map info, yet I have NEVER heard any traffic text or audio at the main gps screen.

Garmin 2009 map update now available at costco.com. I've never seen Costco sell map updates before. $54.99 plus $4.99 s&h.

What a wonderful group you have here. I just purchased my first GPS, Garmin 260W. As most know, there is not much in the way of manuals, so its off to the internet.

In just a few minutes I felt I gained so much more knowledge than any manual could have provided, it is amazing.

All of the tips and ideas are great.

Thank You to ALL

Just got a new mac and i want to install use my c330. Driver disk is only for windows. Purchased the City Navigator 2008, but it will not update without the garmin software loaded. Can anyone help. New to Mac...
