Welcome / open talk

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?

Probably a dumb question, but how do you put a link to a photo on this forum? In layman's simple language.

Man, sure is dead here today.

Miss POI,

How about creating a FAQ on common utilities the forum
uses to create custom POI/images/wave, etc

Maybe a link page to common useful utilities for newbie to use

ex

POI verifiers
Excel addon
etc

When you Update to 2008 does it overwrite the Ver 8 Maps in the unit or not because of after my update i went to settings and about and the version 8 is listed and so is the nt 2008

I was in Paris not long ago and got into a cab which had a GPS unit. I told the driver where I wanted to go and he pulled out a directory, about 2 inches thick, looked up the hotel, punched in about 4 to 5 numbers and off we went. I figure it must be something like a telephone directory for use with a GPS device. Probably loaded with a POI file indexed to the numbers in the directory.

as u have read and seen on tv, ok has been hit by a real ice storm. over 1/2 million out of power. trees down and blocking many roads. my gps showed me many different routes arond blocked streets. i never thought id love to hear the voice of my c530 girl friend say "recalculating".

Hi folks, This is my 1st post and it's a question that has maybe already been discussed before but I'll ask it anyway. When I try to download a file like 'California State Parks' my computer says it doesn't recognize the CSV file and Can't open it,any suggestions?

How can I delete files that I was tracking from my account.

Decatur, IL -- A Sonoma County, CA, judge has ruled a speeding case supported by an officer's radar cannot be thrown out because the speeder's GPS system allegedly contradicted the radar speed.

I just received my 2008 City Navigator Update today. Is there anything during or after installation I should be aware of. I am asking because I may have missed something of importance in a previous post.

Would anyone know how to download the different icons or sound for certain downloads..... for example .... red light camera

Thanks

This is an interesting new GPS system.

Here is a site that will let you get directions , online maps,mileage,road trips for free

I'll be taking the site down for a few minutes to install security updates for our web platform.

There are no changes in functionality, and I expect downtime will last 10 - 15 minutes.
