a step by step guide on how to use the features and benifits of a Garmin Nuvi 260 GPS
I have a garmin etrex legend and i want to take some measurements by driving my car. But the gps looses the signal inside the car. So I was wondering.. Is garmin etrex legend compatible with external antennas? If so could you suggest some models compatible?
I am assuming that you have an earlier one with the gray scale screen and a serial port interface. The new ones receive signals much better.
The basic answer is no. There is no official way to attach an external antenna.
Some people have created "reradiating" antennas for them. It is an external antenna that is attached to a transmitter with an antenna that you set next to your GPS.
This link will give you a search on some of them - http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&r ls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs =G5Q&q=etrex+reradiating+antenna& ;btnG=Search&aq=f&oq=&aqi=
For creating tracks, visibility of the GPS is not as important.
Make sure that you have the GPS in position where there is no metal or parts of your body between it and the sky, like as far forward possible on the dash or taped to the windshield. Metal and moisture block the signal.
The big buck option is to buy an etrex with H after it. That indicates the high sensitivity receiver. I rarely get drop outs with my Vista HCx. It will even record tracks inside my house or if I sit on it in my car.
The x versions use MicroSD cards for effectively unlimited storage of tracks. It will record as many points as you can (up to a point a second) as long as the GPS is turned on. It breaks the files every 24 hours of recording.

Park position recall - find your car where you left it.
Over 8 million points of interest and see branded icons on the map as you navigate.
Speed limit indicator - unit displays speed limits for most major roads.
Lane assist with photoReal junction views.
Lifetime map and traffic updates
I purchased a preloaded garmin c340, and now I have a file I downloaded off the web (gpx file), with all the red light cameras and such, and a different splash screen as well, but my gps did not come with MapSource, the software that is used for that because it says it doesn't need it since it is preloaded. I tried to download it from Garmin, but they only relese the "upgrade", so it does not work.
Does anyone know how to upload these files? Even if it is not with MapSource?
Thanks!
use the poi loader software available at garmin.com. and do not ask the same question so many times????

I'm planning to get a garmin gps but when I looked online, there were so many series available. Baffled by the variety, I don't know which one is right for me. I need something preferably 4.3 inches, a speaking gps, real time traffic alerts and reroutes etc. I don't really care about bluetooth or picture views. Can someone give me differences between all the models?
if you want traffic updates the garmin that has it built in starts at the garmin 370. in other words you can get a lower model but you have to also buy the receiver to get traffic updates
but the "good" traffic receiver starts at the nuvi 680 with is powered my msn. not only will it tell you about the traffic but it will also tell you the times of local movies in the area, local gas stations fuel prices, and weather.

to further assist you the link has a chart called "Which nüvi is Best for You?" which will have a list of different garmins and the features they have so you can decide which garmin best fits your needs
I'm looking to buy a good priced GPS system that will list all the attractions (like museums, beaches, things like Mount Rushmore, ect.). Is there one around like that in the price range of $350 and from Garmin? If not, is there one like that from Tom Tom or another brand?
I would say a great price for a Garmin GPS unit was available at Costco for $349, and it was for the Nuvi 760 which is an excellent unit with 6M points of interest and a 4.3" display along with Text to Speech turn by turn directions.
I would shop around and see what is available, currently, the top unit for Garmin is the Nuvi 880 with the VR feature. The Magellan Maestro 4250 is probably an excellent value at also $349 with AAA tourbook that will offer you ratings for restaurants etc. TomTom 730 at $399 also offer map share and tons of POI's. I would go to a near by GPS retail store and look over the units. If you are in San Jose are, try Auto Nav 2000 Plus, Inc.
