Solution found!, Has anyone with a Nuvi 680 updated the firmware from 3.7 to 3.8 and found

And found that it takes longer to acquire satellites? I thought it was just me, but a friend at work with the same unit just came out today and told me the exact same thing happened to him! How weird!

Has anyone else noticed this?

got my c330 back

i think i know what happened to the last two units. when i'd try to upload files and got the error message saying there wasn't enough room, i'd leave the unit hooked up, drop some files and try it again until it worked.

Correcting a POI

What's the best way to let a member know of a correction to a POI file? I wanted to let McMargarine know that the location for Red Robin in Birmingham, Alabama is about a 1/2 mile off. It got me close enough that I found it, but I wanted to give an "on site" update.

Quirk with Updating to City Navigator North America NT v 2008

I got my update disk on Friday and eagerly started on updating my Nuvi 360. I placed the DVD in the computer and all was proceeding automatically without much input from me.

While waiting for my computer to do it's thing, I decided to do some work on the computer (Big mistake). To make a long story short, my other work crashed and this forced me to re-boot my machine during the update.

When I copy albums from iTunes they show up with the album as the folder and all the album songs in the folder. Next I created a mix folder called mymix. I then copied a number of songs into the mix folder just like you would on an iPod.

Hello, new to the site and to owning a GPS

Hello all... My name is Heath, I just bought my first GPS, a Garmin c330... I wish I'd have gone with something nicer but Best Buy wants to keep 15% for restocking but hey, live and learn right...
