6800 Garmin GPS.......

[1smoothcat]

I have Garmin on my memory card but I can get it to load for nothing. I use Google for now but it uses my phone line, any help would be appreciated.

Try to install it again. I didn't have a problem. Going by the Views with no response to you neither has any one else. Let me know if your still having trouble and Ill try to help.

Does the Garmin XP need the "jump start" on the GPS like TomTom? You know, like clicking Google maps first? If so, has anyone come up with a launcher program. I could not find this info. Thanks. Ginny

you have to purchase and dl the mapsource software to load detailed maps...if you bought the program for the 99 clams you should already have the mapsource software.
