I looked at several models, and I came across this model (which I like the most), and the description says: "NO AV-in Function".

I don't know its meaning.

If you know, just share here.

And also any suggestion on choosing a GPS system is also welcome.

I'd really appreciate your help in advance. ]]> General GPS Discussion dushyant http://www.gpsdiscussion.com/general-gps-discussion/8340-what-av-function-gps-navigation.html http://www.gpsdiscussion.com/garmin-news/8339-garmin-gives-lift-special-olympic-athletes.html Tue, 07 Sep 2010 18:00:01 GMT Every company has a personality, and Garmin's personality when it comes to philanthropy is to do things quietly and behind the scenes.

Worldwide routable Garmin maps from OpenStreetMap

1) I really don't want to spend another $149USD if I can use free maps.
2)Secondly, I had purchased Garmin Maps for China and the government-required map offset wasn't properly adjusted as it should when I went to China.

Son gave me this 400t that is driving me crazy. Seems to have a mind of its own, which means I can't understand why it does what it does. One of the potential usage was to map areas of our property that have been either thinned or brushed for forestry purposes. I find that though I can archive a track, I cannot download it to my computer nor can I delete off of my GPS unit. I can only download a current track. Is this the way it is supposed to be or do I just not understand.

Another frustration is that though I can be on a spot, say a starting point, then make a circuit and come back to that same spot and have it be 20-30 feet off. Or walk the same track, indentical, and show up as 20-30 feet different on sperate track that are placed on the map for the entire distance of the same walk.



If anyone has any insight that would relieve my desire to bash this thing, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Its a great looking GPS but I have to be able to plan my routes out on the computer and upload them to the GPS. Some of these routes can be very complex.

Can anyone recommend a Garmin GPS that will let me use mapsource to plan out routes and send them to my GPS?

Robert Harrison here just to say g'day to you all, and with my first problem. Oh what a way to introduce yourself, but I might as well jump in with both feet. So let me pick some ones brains. My Nuvi 260 will not download the maps when in the car or on the computer. It says it is loading maps and that is it. I can get more out of a squashed Goanna that I have run over. If my Garman had been working I might have missed it. So if there is some one out there who loves Goanna's I would appreciate some help in getting this little box working.

Have a good weekend everyone. Looking forward to having my problem solved.
