Garmin: Custom Vehicles

How many people out there have one of these Garmin models?

nüvi 660, nüvi 610, nüvi 360, nüvi 350, nüvi 310, nüvi 300, zūmo 500, zūmo 550, StreetPilot c550, StreetPilot c530, StreetPilot c510

Did you know that you could be using a sleigh for your custom vehicle icon?

Yeah yeah I had to check it out...it's interesting, but I actually was there looking for the sportrider icons and thought I should share.

Anyone with a Garmin Zumo I think has the sportrider dude's already right?

either way, enjoy

That's cool. Thanks!

I have the c530 and I'm pretty happy with it.

If you send it to me I can probably get it run over by an Enzo if you want?

Thats what I had to breakdown and get, I do like it and I love the portability.

After I sold my 2720 to 'save money' , I got stuck reading a map to go somewhere and said F that and got a 530. Not a bad unit for general 'where the hell am i' but no where near the features of the 2xxx series I had

. I hear th 550's (bluetooth and turn by turn text to speech directions) are 500$ refurbished now

I got a Alpine Blackbird and returned it 3 days later to get the Garmin c530. I lost some really nice feature but at least the GPS thing works.... The Alpine was a POS

I consider the c530 to be a GPS for dummy. So easy to use. I'll upgrade it some day but for now it works just fine

Anyone have a Garmin 2730?
I think that's what the guy had on my FJR. I still have the mount and the wiring. I think he said he ran the XM radio through it.
I know nothing about these things, only the factory unit that was in our old X5.
Is the 2730 a good all around unit? Is there something better for the price?

nhfirefighter13 · 12-25-2006, 10:35 AM

I have an older 2610 and it kicks ass, so I would imagine that the 2730 is even better.

By the end of today, I should be getting my Garmin Q-2.

Northy · 01-13-2007, 02:32 PM

I've got the Quest 1. It gets the job done for what I need. The extra memory in the Q-2 would definitely be nice. But, we don't get the fancy cool customized vehicle icons.

I got one and you can see mount picks for a 1000RR on the 'other' site

MSGT-R · 01-16-2007, 04:34 PM

Its here, and its "in training". I'm teaching it to put my work places in memory. Very cute set up. I almost have to put my reading glasses on to read it (I'm spoiled on my Mazda). The first time I used it, "Bitchen' Betty" kept trying to send me back home.
