how do you update directions in garmin portable gps navigation system?
[2008-05-04 10:55:24]

Q:

A: Are you asking about directions generated from the map sets? The answer is either "enter a new destination", "change your routing preferences, so it honors your selction of uturns, avoidances, and transportation mode like foot vs. commmercial", "get an updated mapsource from Garmin" (approx cost $75 USD)" if you're looking for updated map data, or "upload a new route".

Without more details in the question, it's really difficult to be authoritative in the answer.

Garmin, TomTom in Deep Waters Analyst Blog Benzinga

We have been observing personal navigation device (PND) makers for some time now and one has to admit that they are coming under increasing pressure. The portable navigation market includes archrivals Garmin ( GRMN ) and TomTom, as well as other smaller players, such MiTAC Digital and Navigon. 

Since navigation products are given to commoditization, there has always been significant pressure on prices. However, the more immediate threat is Google ( GOOG ), which intends to add free turn-by-turn directions to the Google Maps app for smartphones using its Android operating system. 

The concept of adding navigation to phones is not new— Nokia ( NOK ) made its intentions clear last year, when the company acquired Navteq for a lofty $8.1 billion. Navigation is increasingly becoming a part of all smartphones, adding to the competition for the standalone portable device makers. 

In fact, iSuppli expects GPS navigation in all smartphones by 2011. It is clear that both companies perceive the threat, because holiday season prices have been slashed significantly. According to iSuppli analyst Danny Kim, Garmin offered 40-42% discount on all its products in the Black Friday shopping weekend. TomTom also offered significant discounts. While a certain amount of discounts are normal for the season, the rate this year is more significant than in prior years.

I use the Tom Tom One 3rd Edition (Tele Atlas) and like it. Before I bought mine, I did searches and saw very few bad comments about it -- mostly that there should be more information in the quick start guide (the full manual is on their website -- not in the package). The unit is ready to use...
