Chewhow,

There's another. In Nuvi 205, press and hold the speedometer icon that you find after going past the map screen. It comes up with some sort of debug screen. Where your Nuvi dumps its crash logs and other stuff I think. Haven't had a crash before so can't confirm :lol:

just be careful in the test mode. Some test can make your nuvi hangs....

another one is.. if ure in sub menus and feel it takes a lot of trouble to return to the main menu by hitting 'Back' many times, just tap and hold the 'Back' button and it will jump straight to the main menu. i prefer this way than rapidly tapping 'Back'.. hehe

Red Dot?

Postby clay420 » Tue Apr 21, 2009 7:54 am

This works for the Nuvi 200 too.

The layout of the satelite is a little different but offers the same info.
However, i do have a question i hope somebody can help answers.

I get that satelites, moon and sun direction is shown in relation to where we are, but I've been trying to figure out for the longest time what the Red Dot on the outer ring symbolises.

Thanks!

I read it somewhere before - only local Nuvi 200 has this feature, US / Taiwan version does not have this feature.
