Don't mention any names. Don't confront them. If you see one, just remember not to feed it.

I recently received my 660 and tried it out. Im very disappointed to report that it is not possible to hear Jill over the road noise and the radio on medium volume. My 330 was able to overcome any noise level in my car. Anyone else having this problem? Switching to the fm yields annoying static and muffeled announcements.

How do I download the red light camera poi? I've met the active user status requirements. now what?

Does anyone gps's bluetooth when yu drive is good or ???? can use any bluetooth headset ???

Ok, the other day, my aunt asked me to tell her the best GPSr to give to her roommate (They are in their late 60's/early 70's). Of course, I said Garmin. But that is because I am a Garmin zombie. I told her that it was a lot easier to learn then a Tom Tom (based on my experience with my father's). But I didn't really say anything about Magellan. My father told her the T2.

I have been wondering how the information is sent, and am sure someone here has the answer.
When the camera snaps you photo, how does the signal get back to the police headquarters, or where ever it goes? Is it a wireless signal, or sent via TV cable, or sent over a phone line? I have read that some are still pictures, and some are movie, but have not seen how it's transmitted.

I created a POI for the Christmas lights that were published in our local paper. Should/could that be shared? It's the addresses of private homes that go overboard and REALLY decorate their houses.

This week we are recognizing captnorm, Charlesd45 & Ve2lhp and giving honorable mentions to Dsorgnzd.

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...

Any LG users out there?

Hello everyone, would anyone be able to assist me on how to attach an alert(sound/icon) to a poi I've just downloaded, I'm not sure if you need to make an new folder for the alert or have both in the same folder as your poi's........once I solve that issue do I copy the name of the poi and attach to the alert??

I recently saw a GPS unit on one of those shopping channels which had realistic graphics of intersections with overhead signage just as the actual location. I think the brand name was Navigon. Does anyone have any experience with this unit and if so is it any good?

Sounds familiar? Rings any bells?

Anybody know what the cheapest unit (any make/model) is that does this?

Thanks!

I have owned a c330 gamin for a year or so. I hooked my garmin up to my computer and went to the Gamin site and checked to see if my gamin was updatable. Their site said that it was. So I went to circuit city and bought the 2008 map updates and it says right on the software that c330 will work. I am now trying to update and it says that I don't have enough memory to update it.

Consumer Reports has a long list of current deals. Does not include the recent 480.00 Nuvi deal at Costco: http://blogs.consumerreports.org/cars/2007/12/gps-deals-onli...

Interesting article on Yahoo News. Makes it seem like WAAS is new or something.

Ok, so what is everyone's opinion about what a chipset really is. I hear people talking about upgrading to get the G chipset (which I am under the impression it is the same as the siirf chipset).

In my opinion a chipset is a set of circuits, not software that can be updated from firmware, perhaps I am wrong, what do you all thing?
