you can use the black, metal, self adhesive disk to mount the suction cup mounting bracket (for the c330) to a surface other then your windshield. Such as your rough surface dash board. Stick the metal disk to your dash board (or wherever you want it) then the suction cup will grip the disk. ALSO: apparently the disk is very hard to remove once its attached.

I'm having the same problem with my Garmin 260W. I got mine from a seller on eBay and believe she knew she had a faulty device and just sold it that way. Any suggestions other than purchasing a new one, let me know. Thanks!

I have not done it yet, but from what I have read - I have to register the Garmin online and then I will get access to the updates. I will try to do this over the weekend and repost my results, if that helps.

I think that it's not OK that all it says on the box is "free traffic" instead of "free traffic with ads." I don't quite feel fully-informed by Garmin. I'm thinking seriously about returning my unit just because I don't like being treated like that.

stay away from any Mios,unless you want 50 year old maps..just returned a c230 thinking the maps were updated from the c310x i returned,but they are still way out of date.Mio doesnt have a clue about maps...my 2 year old Garmin C320 has way more updated maps than a Brand new Mio...be warned with this Brand you get waht you pay for!!

I purchased a gps long ago and I'm very satisfied with it, I DON'T UNDERSTAND why you sent me this email asking me about this nonsense question, I sent positive feed back a few days after a started using the device, so please double check on your emails, it may be a mistake in your behalf. Thank you. !

You should chill out. You sound like someone who was raised on microwaved food and too much television. My update DVDs only took two days. They were massive files. I was thankful that I did not have to download them. I have had absolutely no problem with Garmin's customer service either. Probably has something to do with the polite tone I used to address them. I had no problem with the updates wiping out my favorites, but I will say that it warned me to back them up. Maybe you missed that same warning? How would you like it if someone circumvented customer service and bothered you with a petty issue like this? The actual IT people have a lot more to do than listen to your complaints. Also, why must the IT people all have wives? Did you ever think that in the "modem age" women would be allowed outside of their houses....Heaven forbid we let them work in IT at Garmin! Cheers, Bkcraft PS Nice extended use of punctuation. You wouldn't frequent MySpace, by any chance, would you?

I received a Magellan 4040 for Christmas and was able to download the 2.36 Firmware update directly from the Magellan website under the 4040 description. I haven't installed it yet, as I am still deciding whether to keep the Magellan despite the horror stories of customer serivice (or lack thereof), or switch to Garmin. Good luck!

I believe this is proprietary. From what I've experienced, it ties to the GPS software itself to supply the information. Best I can give you.

FYI - I just called Amazon, and I spoke with someone that was hard to understand. Anyway, he said he could not confirm the Garmin 350 would ship with v9. I also asked him what is Amazon's return/refund policy, and he was very vague. When I askded him for more info, he said to check online for their return/refund policy. I told him to make a note that I WAS going to buy the Garmin 350 from Amazon, but since he can't guarantee they have v9, I won't be buying it from them! I just sent Amazon an e-mail in response to their so called "Help" call. I'll let you know if I get a reply from them.

I'm sorry but I don't know. I sent my BC20 back because the video was very poor, even in close proximity to the receiver. I understand that Garmin has made some recent improvements in this system but I don't know the latest owner evaluations. Good luck with your purchase.

I have the same question. Garmin's version is 2013.10. Some reviews here were complaining about the maps being out of date. Could this be the reason this one is so cheap?

Thank you so much for your replies. I would have never figured it out on my own and would have had to call Garmin for help!!!! Thanks again.
