OK well I hate to send it back but it just does not seem to recieve much of anything. Typical project the NUVI 350 I purchased arrived they sent a 360 instead, power supply I purchased smoked and blew a fuse the first time I fired it up, just do not know when the fun will end.
Thanks for taking a look at it I am not ruling out that it is something I did wrong, just cannot imagine what it is.
