I just saw this tutorial on Instructables. It shows you how to install a bluetooth adapter to your GPS so you may hear it via a bluetooth headset. I'm not brave enough to try it, but others might be more adventurous.

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 we are recognizing LDoyle and Pulltabmike.

Both of these individuals helped me this week in the Red light camera file cleanup efforts in the Baltimore, MD and Plano, TX areas. I really appreciate the time that you both spend driving around confirming the data that I sent to you.

I am not sure what software it is, as i only check for updates when i am changing the music on my Nuvi 660. but has anyone had any problems with the new download. I have had my 660 for about 8 months and never lost satelite reception, now after the update about 10 days ago, i lose reception 2-3 time per drive, not per day per drive.

i have the gem mine poi loaded and was wondering ,has any one ever visited the emerald hollow mine in hiddenite n c any comments or suggestions ?? thank you

I there a POI for dunkin donut locations?

I read that if you apply the Navigator 2009 maps, your Garmin lock feature will not work anymore.

Can someone confirm or tell us this is not true?

Thanks

For those of us using traffic, and are wondering if one edges the other out in one way or another I give you this must read post from Steve S.

I can confidently say that there appears to be little or no difference between the traffic information content on TMC and that on MSN. However, there are some display differences that might make one think that the two information streams are different.

Bought the Garmin North America 2009 map update.We have 4 nuvi's in use in our and the kids cars. Will I be able to upgrade all four from this one CD or is that not possible?

I would like to purpose a new file to be added to the site.

I have noticed that over the last couple of weeks the tone of this site has changed and I am here to make sure that it gets back to a tone that I like.

I am getting quite annoyed with some of the negativity and sarcasm that has been going on over the last few weeks. If you can't be nice, find another forum to participate in.

What it is your "Average Speed" reported by the GPS Trip Calculator ?

After 1 month (30 days) of using the GPS - Magellan Maestro 3225 - every day within GTA - Toronto, Canada, I found that my average speed is 30Km/h for an average of 110 Km / day. I reset the Trip Calculator every night at the end of the day and morning before start.

Please post:
1.Average Speed in Km/h

Here's an informative article on the subject: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24392168/

Forewarned is forearmed!

I've used a U3 drive to keep my passwords for quite awhile now. I have founf that while traveling I can use anyones computer and have all my password accounts available from the U3 drive thus making it not necessary to type my passwords on anyone's computer, thus not having to worry about security.

A POI of all the studios would make it possible for entertainment industry professionals to navigate quickly and could be interesting for tourists too. I will supply the addresses.
Anyone interested in helping me make one?

has anybody got poi files of good campgrounds in sask canada that they would like to share or rv parking

has anybody ever used gps trackmaker and can it be used with a garmin 650 gps

I see where the Nuvi 760 is now available at Costco.com for $449
