garmin streetpilot gps

I've been using a Garmin StreetPilot i5 for almost a year and love it. I've accumulated quite a few places in the unit's Favorites. Many of them were saved by physically being at the location of the Favorite (as opposed to entering an address).

Is there any way to download Favorites FROM the GPS unit? I want to load them to my PC and then duplicate or transfer them to another Garmin unit?

I am thinking of buying another StreetPilot for our other car and would like to have the same Favorites in both units. I assume this is also a common issue when people upgrade their GPS units, but I searched and found nothing helpful yet.

Thanks!

use mapsource if supplied with the unit to connect the unit to the usb port, transfer from this unit to the next one.

Is there anyway to find out the unit ID of my Garmin StreetPilot c580?
I tried mapsources, but it doesn't work.

Thanks in advance!

On the Menu page touch the spanner shape icon, System, then About at the bottom of screen. This will display c580 software version number, unit ID number and audio version number.

I have a 2001 Ford Excursion and I travel a bit. I take my kids snowboarding and to travel lacrosse tournments occassionally. I want a good GPS that will take me anywhere. Please give me reason why one is better and if you know one that is better please tell me and why it is.

TomTom GO 510 is better because it is less expensive. A cool feature is choosing what kind of voice you want directing you. Our English guide calls the freeways and highways "motorways."
GPS Garmin StreetPilot c550 is just not as good!

Garmin wants $250 to replace it and the sytem cost $400. Is there a less expensive solution?

If you're not within warranty, then you're probably out of luck. Take that $250 that Garmin is charging you and buy a Mio.
