Hi Ron, Didn't mean to pick on the nuvi 350, or any other units for that matter. Hope I didn't offend. I was only suggesting that the "bad" behavior the other models exhibit may be what Garmin intended. It's possible the nuvi 350 works so well for APRS because we're able to exploit an error in Garmin's code. Either way, I hope a solution can be found.
