I have the POI loader and can attach all to my computer? Thanks for any suggestions or point in in the correct direction.

Senior newbie
Good morning all,
I am a recently retired guy with a new C340 toy to play with. My wife and I recently took it for a joy ride through the central Texas hill country to see what it could do. As the newer generation would say.....this thing Rocks!!
I am looking forward to learning a lot from this board and possibly making new friends along the way.

Red-light cameras in Canada
Hi everyone... I have been in China for about 3 weeks and have stopped over in Vancouver BC for a week before returning to Los Angeles. I have an updated red-light camera list and see red-light cameras all over but no warning when I approach them. Any ideas?

Nuvi 670 Speaker Failure
Today, with no warning, all sounds coming from my Nuvi 670 became inaudible, as if the speakers cracked. All the sounds were "fuzzy" and completely undiscernible.
It appears that my internal speakers failed. I verified the speaker problem by connecting the headphone jack to my car stereo and then by switching over to the FM transmitter. The audio was acceptable when I did those two steps.

POI as Favorite?
Nuvi 650 questions: Is there a simple way to make a POI a 'Favorite'? If so, how? Likewise, if I am viewing a map, is there a way to add a location to a Favorite? Thanks, from a new user.

Another nOObie
Hi all, I'm new to the forums as well as GPS. I just ordered a Garmin C530 for work purposes (Tow Truck Driver). Ive been wanting one for awhile and found one on-line for 249.99 which I feel is a fairly good price for getting my feet wet. As I said, I got it for work, but after reading many posts on this forum its looks like it could also be a great hobby (just what I need, ANOTHER hobby)!

Are GPS useless in big cities, ie. NY
I'm not sure if I was having a temporary failure with my Garmin C550, We parked in New York and I took my GPS with me in hand. Throughout the city (Manhattan) I couldn't get a GPS fix. Is this normal as the tall buildings block the # of satellites needed to get a fix? Could I have done something (setting) to get a fix? I don't seem to have this problem in Boston.

Let's pull out the stops...
I would like to know what is the most rugged, precise and expensive portable gps unit there is out there.
All it needs to do is have gps navigation, traffic updates and weather (preferably full scale live weather with doppler radar, wind, etc. Be readable and operable to the operator while bouncing in a truck.
Let's say that money was no object. What is available out there?

Favorites and Recent Selections
Have a nuvi 370. Are "Favorites" and "Recent Selections" accessible outside of the nuvi. That is, do I have access to those locations in some file. If I can access that data, is it in a usable format.
Thanks,
Joe
