1st real trip - Flyers game

Well folks, Sunday is the BIG day. Gonna take my first real trip with my c350. Yes I know it is a holiday, however I promise not to eat any bread during my Passover Holiday. The trip is taking me from Balto to Philly and back to see the Flyers play. If you happen to see someone driving in circles, stop and ask if you can give some assistance.

Additional waypoint icons

Is there any way to add additional waypoint icons into a garmin map60csx. I see a place for custom waypoints, they look like blue purple dots under the selectable waypoints.
Can i download some to mapsource?
Any help thanks.

Do you put screen protector on your GPS?

Is there a way to display the POI symbols?

I have a C330 street pilot. If I input a POI in under favorites the symbol shows on the map as I get closer but I don't see any other POI nearby even though there a allot of them in the GPS device.
I currently have the detail setting on "most" (the highest setting). Is there someplace else I can adjust the seting so it will show the nearby POI symbology?

address on GPS, but not in csv file

I downloaded a poi and in the csv file it has the coordinates, name of location, and city in the 4th column in excel, but in notepad, I can see the full address and telephone number. What am I missing in Excel? I noticed that there are carriage returns is that why I can't see it in excel?

POI Icons on the GPS

I am woundering, how many people here use icons for there POI locations?

I find using them can be good for some uses and bad for others.

I think it is also the way they are created and what type of GPS you have.

I have a large collection of these icons for use (and starting to make my own to fit some of my other POI)

Map update explanation Straight from Garmin

This is in response to the question I asked if there was a time limit for registering a unit (ie within 30 days of purchase for example).

Thank you for contacting Garmin International! I am more than happy to help you with this today.
No Sir, you can register at any time, however you will be asked to provide proof of purchase for any/all repairs.

Male vs Female vs GPS vs RD

I find it interesting that there are a lot of females on this site. But there arent a lot of females on the radar detector forum I frequent.

At first, I thought it was a technology/gaget thing, a guy thing, but this site has proven me wrong. So what is it?

SD cards...the facts

Actually, they aren't facts, cause I could be wrong, but here is what I think about SD cards.

I didn't realize that they come in different speeds. That can explain why some say that they see a big difference on POIs on SD vs internal memory. From the little I researched, I saw from 60X to 150X.
