When using a GPS can you pick 2 locations other then the one you're at right now to get directions from or is it only done from where you are presently ?

Actually 2 questions. Will the Nuvi 360 store addresses so I don't have to retype them?

Also, is there a 'better' dark glasses clip-on for seeing the screen better?

Thanks.

Is there a "service fee" to use a GPS? Because I was thinking of buying a gps navigation system for my car, but I wasn't sure if I need to pay for it every month or not. So do I pay every month for it (service fee), or do I just pay once for the gps and no service fee??

I am considering the Magellan Explorist XL vs the Garmin60CX . I am new to this product. I intend to use this for Geocaching and driving directions. I like the large screen on the Magellan, but I am not sure what extras I would need for the above listed use. Thanks for any thoughts. Tom Smart

I shall shortly be treking around Kathmandu for a few weeks. Could somebody please explain if it is possible for family and freinds etc., to keep tabs on us by using Google Earth ? What equipment would we need to carry....in fact, how on earth would be go about setting everything up ? thanks.

I recently contacted Garmin regarding what I perceive to be errors in maneuvers required to follow the route provided by my C550. The errors occur when approaching a fork in the road - one branch of which continues straight, while the other required you to bear left. In this case, two roads merge into one for a brief period of time, and then diverge.

Specifically, a County road remains straight though the area in question, ...
