MSN Screen Page on Garmin 680

I watched a video about the Garmin 680 on CNET.com. When they showed the MSN screen page, the traffic, weather, gas and movie icons each had the number "100%" displayed on their respective icon. I'm guessing it represents the percentage of downloaded data for each category. My 680 doesn't display that. Is that a feature of the 2008 mapping software? I'm still running V8.

Return Trip

Why Is it that if your gps takes you from Point A To Point B the fastest route then why when you want to return from Point B to Point A why does it want to route you a whole different way (So Then why wouldn't it take you back the same way you come if that is the fastest way)

IE opening another window with a link

Admins,

What are the chances that you can modify the site so when you click on a link, it opens another window. That way, we can alway go back to the original page that we were on without going back back back.

Where are my custom POI's?

When I download a .csv file to my Nuvi 200, POI Loader indicates that the poi's were successfully installed. However, when I try to retrieve them from the Nuvi I get the following message, "No Matches Found". I don't have a problem with .gpx files. What am I missing? This seems so trivial.

Red Light Camera Actual Locations

Is it possible to have the red light camera spreadsheet translate back to addresses to download?
I could use this to know that camera locations I see are new or old, so that I can submit the new ones.

Red Light Camera CVS file order

I am not by any way more than the most casual type of Excel file user. Therefore if this question is off the mark I plead ignorance in the use of Excel.

I opened the latest Red Light Camera file to see if I could edit the file to have only the locations in NYC and NJ. To my surprise I saw that the individual locations are not in any specific order but are grouped in random order.

Problem with CSV file (No Matched Found)

When I download a .csv file to my Nuvi 200 the POI loader says that the pois were successfully created. However, when I try to access them through the custome poi icon on my Garmin I get the following error message,
"No Matched Found". What does this mean? and How can I correct it? Where did the POI's go?

thanks

Coordinates don't match location

I'm new to this and I'm probably missing something simple but I can't get my coordinates to show up in the right location. I have a Garmin 200W and I was playing with POI's speed files. The 200W will give coordinates if you tap on the car while driving. I saved these and made my POI file for "speed" and entered the info.

GPS theft

There was an article in the local newspaper this week, about GPS thefts from cars. It isn't enough to remove your GPS from sight. If a thief sees the mounting bracket, they break in and look for what was connected to it. The article also said the some police are giving out free microfibre cloths to clean the window after you remove the mount from the windshield.

Speed Alert?

Is there a speed alert that will tell you to slow down when you are going over the speed you set it for? If I set it for 70mph and I go over that speed I want it to yell at me to slow down. Is there a way to do this? I have a streetpilot 2720.
Thanks
