Has anyone else had a problem with their Garmin Nuvi [mine is a 2555] randomly displaying a frozen speedometer & miles to next turn, and both the bottom corner options limited to 3 choices: direction of travel, time of day, elevation? I want to choose time for the left one, but I want 'miles to...

I've pretty much decided to get one, but my head is swimming from reading details & user comments - mostly 4 wheelers. Anyone have advice on brands, features, installation? I don't want all the bells & whistles, but not the el cheapo version, either - midrange would be about right, I think...

Truck-maker CAT flogs smartphone spawn to butter-fingered fondlers ? The Register It's not available yet, but I'll be watching for it. ;)

I've been struggling with my computer for weeks - it will not allow me to choose from a drop down menu, [either scrolls through the choices at hyper speed, or returns to whatever it was on to begin with], or move the contents of the window horizontally [will move, but only as long as the cursor...

Samsung installs keylogger on its laptop computers Who can you trust these days? :mad:

My laptop (a Compaq Presario) is more than 3 yrs old now, all of it spent in the truck. I am beginning to think about the need to replace it, and wondering: is it likely to give any warning signs that failure is near? Or do they just 'crash & burn' suddenly? If the latter, I ought to watch for...

Yesterday, my Garmin had a frozen screen, for quite awhile. Actually, until the battery died, I guess, because I unplugged it, and nothing changed. The top half of the screen had a map, (without enough info to identify the location), the center had a toolbar, and the bottom had what looked like...

I've got a new hobby, courtesy of Linder Caffee, (who credits Terry O'Connell with introducing it to her): downloading audiobooks, from Audible.com. While Linder downloads hers to an iPod, I dowload to my computer, then burn them onto CDs. The cost, including the blank CDs, is about the same as...

I'd like to add satellite radio, but no one seems to know exactly which pieces/parts I need to acquire. My Pioneer radio says "Satready", which one clerk said means I just need an antenna, while another said I need the satradio kit for Pioneer. I know I need professional installation, any...

Can anyone explain the file extension 'bin' that is causing photos that I send to be unopenable? The photos are taken with my cellphone, then emailed to myself. The 'bin' extension only appears on some, and I don't know why.

Last winter, I always brought it inside, & plugged it in while home, but now I just leave it in the van - one less thing to shlep in & out. If the temp drops very low, will that have a negative effect on the electronics?

In the interest of encouraging anyone who may be worried that their question is a dumb one, I'm asking what may well be the dumbest question ever posted: Do places that offer free wifi, like McDonald's, turn it off when they close for the night?
