> I recently purchased a Kenwood PNAV-512. The PNAV-512 is a combination of a KVT-512 head unit and a KNA-G510 hideaway navigation unit. KNA-G510, Garmin GVN-53, their variations and their predecessors all use a GPS antenna that is connected via RG-174 coaxial cable and a rather difficult to find GT5 1S-HU connector. I already had a very good Antenex brand NMO mount GPS antenna...

> I have a garmin 2610. About 4 years old. Unfortunately it has been a POS since new. I always thought it was operator error but it is just a lemon. Many times you will be on a major route and suddenly you are not on the highway. Will show you 1/2 mile off the road. Constantly telling you it is reaclculating. I paid for the 08 maps but now I give up. The connection cord is loose ...

> I have a 2610, but went and upgraded to Nuvi 750. All was well until I was going from Delaware to New Jersey via Delaware Memorial Bridge and ran into a massive traffic jam from the Christiania Mall. I hit detour, but the Nuvi was determined to direct me into the massive traffic jam. I do not have the traffic service activated, so that was not available. How I miss the detour ...

> I have a decision to make. I have a 2730 that I bought used about a year and a half ago. It is no longer working and I am trying to decide what to do. If I understand the Garmin web site correctly, they have a flat rate of $225 to repair, but the warranty is only for 90 days after the repair. On the other hand I can buy a "new" refurbished 2720 for about $250. I no longer ...

> We're on a 10 day trip, and the 2720 had been working flawlessly. Then Sunday, after about 3 hours on the road following a route it had designed, Bob (the TTS voice) started saying "Continue xx miles on route 18 east" about every mile. The miles left to travel was correct, but the highway we were on was 61 south, not 18 east, and he continued to say it about every mile. When ...

> I purchased the 2009 map update as a download.....loaded it onto my computer....and when I went to load it onto my 2730 it asked me if I wanted to download "east or west" northern hemisphere...........? I want the "WHOLE" USA and Canada........Am I doing something wrong?

> My 4th 880 was sent back for "lagging" so I bought this unopened newlly overhauled unit off ebay. Garmin guarantee's it for a year. But it is just like a new one and performs better then my 880 did. That's why I bought it. I had one before and missed the userdefined screen and mapping update performance when moving along. Were you are on the screen is were you are live on this ...

> I have a Garmin 2730, it has been great but it is getting old and I want to get an updated model that does the same thing as the 2730, but Garmin has chosed not to make an updated Street Pilot model. They are only making what I call Soccer Mom dumbed down models that are a pain in the rear to get wanted info out of. If you want to get from point a to point b, then a $99 off brand...

> I thought I might be interested in getting a larger screen than on my 2610, but when I read the specs on the 7200 it is a definite "No" unless I am missing something. Did not see where one could download pre-planned routes into the 7200 unit. Did not see on the trip information page where you have the option of logging four different legs of a trip. Seems several other items ...
