I don't know the name of that feature, or if there is one. It's not noted in the manual, but Garmin does not write the most informative consumer friendly manuals. As you point out it only approximates the address location and in some cases will be totally wrong when map data is wrong. So you need to be careful when relying on it. On my street house number data is bassackwards - I have a low number and the map shows it as a high number. But I can tell you it does not exist on the nuvi 680 and my guess is it went the way of the Do-Do bird on all of the nuvi models. Compared to my 2730 I am pretty disappointed with the 680 I just got 2 weeks ago. They really "dumbed" it down. So far, IMHO, the only real positive aspects of the 680 is the overall size, screen readability and internal battery. It does not even have the QWERTY keyboard option that they just gave us for the 2730 and it is a discontinued model. I miss my remote too.

I have a 2370 and noted too, that the addresses are approximate.
But it at least puts me in the ballpark which is nice.
I realize that the house numbers have to be accurate on the Maps that are loaded into it if the 2730 is going to spit out the address more accurately.
And based on that, I don't expect anything near perfection since I have had experience with the maps being pretty far off in some cases.
If you had an actual Lat & Long. for the house, it would probably put you in the driveway.

| Resurrecting this thread. If I were to get an XM NavTraffic capable GPS unit and already have an XM Car Radio, would I need an additional antenna? Nasty, you provided a good advantage of using XM as opposed to FM. |

Yes. 010-00423-00 GARMIN GXM30 XM smart antenna (includes flange mnt, USB ext. cable) requires subscription-- $210.00
Note the description "smart antenna" - it is also the XM receiver for the gps.
I never used XM traffic - just XM radio for a year and decided that was not worth it to me. I could probably part with mine.

Yup .. it's a map issue, not a flaw with your 2730.

| I have had my Garmin StreetPilot 2730 for about a year now and I loaded up a number of POIs. Most of them from POI Factory, but some that I created. What is the maximum number of POIs that I can put on this? I realize that it isn't probably a finite number, but how do I tell if I have used say 10% or 50% or 75% of the memory? The reason that I ask is becasue I am thinking about putping in a bunch more, but knowing how much capacity I have will help me select which POIs to select. |

| I would like to increase the number of Recent Finds that my Garmin Street Pilot 2730 saves. I have been scouring the web and the manual, but I cannot seem to locate how to change that. Does anybody know how to increase the number of Recent Finds? |

Im hardly looking for old CNNA v8NT update DVD for SP2720.
There should be one big .rgn file with whole CNNA v8NT.
What I need is first 300kb from this file. It can be copied with any HEX editor. Can anyone help me and send this block of .rgn file to my email? |
