for some odd reasons i cannot put symbols in my gmxt.. (im on nokia 5800xm)

it will b stuck at the symbols page.

for example, if i want to go ss2/1, i can enter ss2.. but when i want to enter the symbol '/'.. it will get stuck there.

its a bug which garmin has not solved yet..

Nuvi 205W - Do not like the Auto Zoom feature that can't be turned off.

Oregon 300 - Does not have night mode. To mark POIs, need to press 2 buttons instead of one as on the 60 CXs. One button is handy when you are riding a bike or when you are collecting 100 POIs. Screen not bright enough or consume too much power.

60 CXs - Poor graphics
