Unfortunately, no.
I had the same problem – just replaced it with another. This time around we’re not leaving the mount or the power adapter visible. (Which puts a bullseye on your vehicle in the eyes of thieves.)
Driving maps of Costa Rica are usually pretty bad (in my experience). They tend to break down when your route goes through a town. The way to navigate in Costa Rica is to learn the list of town names you need to drive through. Then follow the signs from one town to the next. Each town will have signs to tell you how to get through the town to get to the main road that goes to the next town. Americans usually find it strange at first since they would prefer detailed directions and road names, but really it is not a hard way to navigate or drive.
Is this a good GPS?
I don’t want to spend any over $230.
Are there any other deals out there?
They can do by matching up the serial number obviously.
Garmin have an online registration system – so if you registered it there, and it was stolen, you could tell them that it had been stolen, and if someone then tried to re-register it, they would get a record of that.
Lots of ifs there unfortunately.
If you are asking if they could do it remotely, as in find out where it was, no.
i would like to have software on my gps like the kind they have on mapsource, but i’m not really prepared to spend over $110 just to do it. any thoughts?
Hi Alice, I am afraid you are out of luck with your Nuvi 670.
Although the company provides maps for each and every ME country it don’t do Israel.
Here’s your link:https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=…https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=…
maybe if you log in some Newsgroups Scene guys that deal with GPS unit modding/hacking you may be able to find the Map installer you’re looking for.
Take care

No, but if you want map updates, you have to pay for those. I think the updates only come out every year or two but they are pretty expensive.
Hi I got one and using it. I bought that from Taipei for NTD 8,500 (around USD 150) last Dec’07 with preloaded Taiwan Maps and POIs. Initially, I it was useless when I brought the unit to the Philippines, as there are no commercial Garmin maps available for PH to this date. But as I checked with free customised maps in various forums, I was able to upload (via SendMap) a map and used it locally (I use Luzon road map, courtesy of www.waypoints.ph). The routing is cool!, the voice prompt is fine (ie. US English, UK English, CN-Mandarin, CN-Fookien, etc.).
Your second Question:
- Nuvi is a GPS equipment, which you need not pay anything (except for the unit of course). unlike satelite phones, NUVI is free!!! as long as it still works fine! That means ABSOLUTELY NO SERVICE FEE.!!!
but once GARMIN has decided to market its own version of Philippine Road Map, then it would be costly!! ie. USD200 for just a map in SD card……
If you are contemplating to get nuvi 200, it works fine (although contains basic functionality ie. jpeg viewer, calculator etc.) other high end nuvis have bluetooth capability, mp3 player, or video adapter (i think)…
on my Nuvi360.. i could just add this location as a favorites.
