Wondering if someone could let me have a copy of the garmindevice.xml file from their Nuvi 2508 LMT-D,(or show me how to edit the file)? I have the 2508 LT-D but want to be able to install latest map updates through Garmin Express. :024:
TIA

I now have a nuvi 350. It allows for music in mp3 format, but it appears that some folders are not there.

Any idea what folder the music files belong in? Thanks
