HELP: Just registered my C330 and I received a mapsource unlock code but shows only major streets.

I just registered my c330 and got an unlock code, then downloaded mapsource. The map in the pc was not detailed to street level. Is this really the way it is or is there something that I am missing here? ALl it shows is a PC basemap and the display shows only major roadways. The unlock wizard said that the mapsource was unlocked.

Any way to pause the trip timer on Nuvi 660?

On the Nuvi 660 the trip timer does not start until after satellites are acquired and the unit is ready to navigate. But once that happens, is there any way to pause the timer? I have not found any way to do so.

Loading map route to 330

Hi,
Is it possible to make a route in map source, save it , then put it on the SD card and use it in the 330?

I have nroute and could use the laptop but it is in the way. The 330 is just easier to use.

Thanks for any info.

Great Little Case

I just picked up a nice little case for my nuvi 350 from Walmart. It is leather and the belt clip is very strong and attached via a rivet (my other one kept falling off the case). It is intended for a Blackberry, but works great with the nuvi.

It is a "Bytech". The UPC code is 0511206096. It cost $17.17.

Thoughts about my new 650

Took my Garmin 650 on a trip to Florida last week. Drove from here in NJ on down to Orlando, had a conference to go to. Programed the “Gaylord Palms” address into the favorites, and off I went.

Can you run that by me again?

I looked, but could not find, where you can load POI files, naming them differently from other POI files. Upload, change name, etc

Coming to Boston

Going to Boston on the 4th of November, any road construction that I need to be aware of? Can I hit 90 (Mass Turnpike) and go all the way to Springfield without issues?

How much toll money will I need?
How are the speedtraps there? Do they use Instant On (IO)? What RADAR bands do they use?

Splash Screens

I can't remember if we decided or not to start a "Splash Screen" area (like the sounds and icons). I think that would sorta cool.

Pedestrian Mode

Just tried this in Greewich Village NYC.
Finding a restaurant was easy, even though I only knew the first word in the name of it. Some streets are only one or two blocks long, and could cost you lots more time without the GPS (NUVI 350)

POI's and Google Earth

can I download POI files and transfer them into Google Earth so I can see where they are located? thanks

FM Traffic, Not sure to renew

My C550 came with 3 months of free FM traffic. I loved it but not sure if I want to re-new. Accidents shown were gone by the time it showed up. A Detour took me much longer and I found out the accident was gone a while ago.

C330 and S D card

Hi, help please. I have a C330 GPS. I recently purchased a Kingston 2 GB, S D card. I downloaded the POI files i wanted. I then installed the POI files to the S D card using the POI loader with my memory card reader. Looking at the S D Card shows this, a folder called Garmin, in that folder is a folder called POI, in that folder is a file called poi.gpi.
