NUVI update problems (lose reception 2-3 time per drive)

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.

TMC Traffic vs. MSN Direct

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.

Negativity and Sarcasm in recent posts

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.

Average Speed - interesting data

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.

Foxfire and U3 drive

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.

My Garmin won't talk to me

Shortly after I got my Nuvi 350, it stopped talking. I have tried changing settings, going back to default settings, etc. Nothing seems to bring her back! I bought it from Walmart.com online. Do I have any recourse with Garmin or Walmart?

the garmin 780 msn

after you pay the $129.00 for a life time member, is the traffic & etc free.
