City Navigator V2008 and the C530

I went and requested the City Nav update. I loaded it to my laptop but I can't unlock the maps. I have an unlock code that came with my C530. I called and talked with Garmin today and was told that I will need a unique unlock code for the version 2008. This code is generated once I connect the 530 to the laptop and update the maps.

2008 map update

I think i just updated my 530 to the 2008 map update, how do i know if i did, is there anything on the garmin that tells me that

New Maps and C340 mounts.

I just hung up from two successive calls to Garmin requesting a free update to maps 2008. Said I had to purchase after May 2007 contrary to posting on this forum. Is there some trick I am missing?

Poor Garmin route?

I know how to get to this location which is approx. 9 miles from my house. Just for the heck I let the GPS route me there (no highways). Why would the GPS take me a longer route as well as through 2 major town intersections where there is traffic. The way I normally go is a straight path and one turn.

Traveling with motorhome & gps

what seems to be the best position to put the gps on -bus , truck, car/motorcycle, when traveling across the states. i hate to end up going thru some of these cities, and thats where it sometimes takes me.

New "Universal" beanbag mount

Here's a little different take on a beanbag mount. This one is completely round and has a recessed area in the center that you simply attach your windshield suction device to. BestBuy ($39.95) has them in stock at most stores. I picked one up today to try out. They are almost the same diameter as the Garmin beanbag (about 8" across) but outweighs the Garmin by several ounces.

City Navigator Map Update 2008

I have just purchased and installed the update for City navigator 2008. I now see by some forum talk, that Garmin might supply these updates free????
I have a Street Pilot C340 which I purchased Jan.14, 2007. How would I contact Garmin to see if they might reimburse me for the costs or see what they say?

Garmintech, Wow!!! having you involved in the forums is a treat. No more assumptions about rules and regulations, now we know them and can respect them. Thank so much for hanging out with us and clearing up some of the confusion.

good garmin- mapsource

i've had my 330 for 1 1/2 months now and i really think its the easiest way to go. garmin is really responsive to any questions and they also sent me the newest map program. i've been using delorme street atlas for about 10 years on a laptop, but the 330 is easier to handle. One question , what can you do with the mapsource when you put it on the laptop.

Solution to make the "dialing" icon appear in gpx files...

Hi Everyone,

This solution is for Bluetooth-capable GPSr's...

I think I've come up with a solution to have the "dialing" icon appear in POI.gpx files.

As we all know POI.gpx files uploaded with the POI Loader, don't show the dialing icon, allowing bluetooth capable GPSr's to dial the phone number.

Here's the solution...

Mapsource?

I purchased my StreetPilot c550 on June 25/07.

I did not receive Mapsource. From what I am reading, I should have or I need Mapsource to view maps on my computer? Is this correct or am I mistaken?

I am planning on contacting Garmin Monday about the update to 2008 version. I am wondering if it will contain the Mapsource software also?

cleaning suction cup

I have started to have the problems others have mentioned of the suction cup not holding very well. I have had it since Christmas. I am wondering if maybe it would help to clean the suction cup. Before I do, I wondering if there are any do's or don'ts for cleaning it. Just soap and water, glass cleaner?
