External Antenna

Hi everyone,

Does anybody know of any Garmin units of present production (i.e. new units) that will accept an external antenna so they actually have an input for one?

My units with inbuilt antennas play up shocking with not getting satellites and only displaying half the info or completely wrong info if there is any info at all.

Nuvi 1300 performance issue - slow to load map

Hello everyone,

Just updated an old nuvi 1300 to latest FW 6.30 and installed an updated map - aside this new one, it only has gmapbmap.img and gmaptz.img in the internal memory, and JaVaWa Device Manger warns to not remove them.

choosing an old but reliable Garmin

Hi
I have been using Tomtom satnavs for a while but I want to try a Garmin.
Can someone suggest an older model from a couple of years ago that I can pickup on ebay at a reasonable price that is reliable and could be updated using this website?
Any suggestions welcome
Thanks

Garmin Oregon series discontinued

Saw over at the geocaching forums and a podcast that Garmin has completely discontinued the Garmin Oregon series of GPSr units as well as the Garmin Etrex 25/35 series. I don't see it on the discontinued list but it's also not for sale on it's regular website.

I have an Oregon 600 and it works great. Be sad if these touch screen handhelds are gone.
