Problems updating Firmware on Kna-G510

I was going to buy an SD card for my navigation unit (kna-g510) however I recently found out I can just take my laptop out to my car and connect to the hideaway unit via USB.

I have successfully loaded custom POIs, however I am unable to have the garmin unit recognize the firmware update.

Garmin’s website says to:
(http://www.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=1477)

Site updates

The site will be shutdown Wednesday morning (March 7th) for maintenance from about 11 am to 1 pm Eastern (8 am - 10 am Pacific).

Downloading Data From FCC Webpage and Creating Favorites or Custom POIs

I was wondering is it would be possible to use MapSource and the FCC Webpage and have it create maps with locations from the FCC webpage?

Expecting my Garmin C550

Just ordered one and will get it before Friday. I have been reading manuals and websites on GPS all day!

So excited!

btw, how can I find a red light camera by eyes?

Creating a New Car and Voice.

Before I start tearing open the Vechile and Voice files. I am wondering if anyone here created there own vewrsion of each. I am sure there is a way. I have a mini Van and want to have a car that looks like that. Also would like to change the voice sound.

Any ideas?

Mio 310x Antenna

Is getting an antenna for my GPS useful at all. It takes around 30 to 45 seconds to find the satelites and calculates my house and destinations between 15 and 75 yards off. Is this typical? Would I get much better results with an antenna?

number of poi you can add to a c 330

anybody know how many poi can be added to a c 330 before you run out of space . thanks glenn

Contributors of the Week 2007-02-28

This week we are recognizing 5thumbs and Lsmonop.

They both did outstanding stuff here last week.

Sorry I was late getting this up, our 3 year old has a nasty cold and yesterday was just a mommy cuddle all day type of day.

Suction cup destroyed

My Garmin C330 was mounted on the windshield for a little over 2 months. When I went to remove it in order to transfer my GPS to another car, I left a lot of the cup on the windshield and the the cup doesn't work any more. Garmin (God bless 'em) are sending me another cup and complete holder - gratis!

Speed Alerts for the c530

Is there away to alert you if your traviling to fast on a specific Freeway? The TomTom One I belive does that. Would like to know if you can program the unit to alert you if your traviling to fast.

OK, here is something else that started AFTER the upgrade that I would like to know if anyone else noticed:

Map updates

Hello forum,

I'm new to the GPS world and am looking towards purchasing a Garmin c320 within the next week or so. Just curious, for a map update to be effective, does one have to update every year or do I have the option to update every other year (e.g versions 10, 12, 14 and so on)?

Big thanks from Miss Poi to all of those that are reporting red light camera locations

I have been getting a very large number of red light camera location reports and I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge that.

Thank you everyone that helps make my job easier.

I love giving credit where credit is due and lately I have been getting emails from people that don't let me know what their user profile name is.

"Just Have Fun" - How true

As we are new to all this GPS stuff, we initially found we were taking the machine (which after all, thats what it is, just a machine) far too literally. Then we started taking its directions with a pinch of salt and thinking "What the ...... ?"
