FYI, I just updated our Garmin 350 with the 2008 maps. Last night on my way to NH, the screen switched over to the one I get when I update the unit. It shows a pic of a PC and the Garmin attached by the USB cable. WTH???

Happened twice.

Turns out, I should be plugging the car charger into the back of the windshield mount, vs, the side of the GPS unit. Who knew? I didn't even know there was a port on the back of the mount, and it wasn't an issue until the update.

Just in case anyone runs into the same issue, you know what to do.

 

This same problem came up in the Vintage forum.

 

Old people and electronics just don't mix.

 

wait what do you consider old

just picked up a garmin 340 and a garmin i5 - they both seem pretty good

now why do i need three gpss

 

Wow! You have a fancy mount! Mine is just a hunk of plastic with a rubber circle that sticks on the w/s.

And my unit is dummy proof, there is only one whole in the unit that the charger fits into

That's great info for those with a Garmin.

 

You need 3 because you are and forgot you bought the first two?

 

Maybe mount a gps on your lawnmower?

 

But only if you intend to drive it to the store to buy booze while intoxicated

 

bow there's any idea

i could use it to see if i missed any spots and the distanced covered and average speed

 

Hey, I'm not THAT old....of course I'm as to what happened to the reply I thought I posted previously.
