nuvi (650) users...? - RAMd®d - 12-11-2007

I just got my Costco 650 and tried it out this morning.

But every time I turned it on it went through the setup stuff- country, language, etc.

Is there anyway to make that the default? I saw "Lock" but figured that just applied to the Brightness/Sound.

One thing I didn't notice about the 650 in the specs is the earphone jack. I like that!

Huh. As far as I know, once you set up a Nuvi, you should not have to do it again. Kinda like a Mac. Might want to call Garmin about that.

Sis has the 350, only had to set it up once.
I'm with Spiff, call Garmin.

I'll have to do that.

I downloaded the manual and it shows the setup, but nothing more than I've been doing.

Thanks, guys.

do any of these GPS units require monthly fees?
do they charge for map updates?


Re: nuvi (650) users...? - RAMd®d - 12-11-2007

Most if not all of the units don't require a fee unless you sign up for traffic reports. I didn't bother since the News/Weather radio stations are usually more accurate.

It looks like some map updates are fee based.
