G'day there,

Well I have just got my Garmin GPS and it is great as I can change the voice to an Aussie vioce... ahhhhh curb the home sickness. So I am retiring my iPOD (hand it over to the Big_Davoc Jr) as it can be a MP3 player too. I have used it a couple of times today and it worked like a charm.!!!

So no more getting lost for me....and I can now (hopefully after I work out how to add way points to it) lead the events....

The only prob is that I put the text language into spanish and I don't know spanish well for language ?? any idea for what I should look for ????

Mind you the aussie voice sounds good to me!!!!

 

What model did you get? We just got one too, A streetpilot c330. You can easily change the languge back to english, look in the menu and setup categories.
I may set mine to british speaking just to get that MINI feeling!

 

I was looking at the 330 but ended up going for the nuvi 350 cost a bit more but i really like it...

Yeah the voices are good and I like the aussie one best.... I managed to switch the text back to english.... was tough as I dont know spanish at all...

 

Congrats! I love my Nuvi. I just updated the software to version 3.30 from this site: UPDATE

I then found this site: VEHICLES
At the vehicles site you can change the little blue arrow into a car or motorcycle. The site basically gives you a few more choices than the ones that come with the upgrade. I was able to get a little red compact the looks a little like my MINI.

 

LOL. I do, but I don't wnat to depend on directions in spanish! I have to speak it enough at work!
Let me know when you figure out the way points. I am going to go out now and test it before the HAIL gets here!! (Don't tell JAY!!!LOL )

 

Don't tell me what

 

too bad the nuvi 350 doesn't really do downloadable routes.
(that would make it ideal for some of the dcmm driving events)

that said, i've got a yellow compact acting as my pointer for my 350!!

(i highly recommend the kuda mount, makes for a very clean dash mount)

i'm not too keen on using the 350 as a MINI mp3 player since mine has
ground loop issues. (causes the aux input to disappear)

 

I played with a nuvi 350 at the local Best Buy for a while. I really liked it! I'd even consider dumping my CoPilot for it except for, as noted above, it doesn't do downloadable routes. If they do an upgrade and make it possible though, I'm there!

-Paul!
