[aprssig] Nuvi-350 Station Symbols

[Clay Melhorn]

Thanks Don WA4AVU,

Apparently I have not fiddled with the thing enough.

Now I'm happier yet with the Nuvi-350.

This keeps getting better. The heard stations in my FAVORITES feature is a nice addition I was not expecting.

When I was checking out the heard "favorites" menu while in the house my daughter started looking at it and after fiddling with it herself decided that the menuing was easy to operate, the price was right then ordered one for herself.

Now if I could get her to trade in her 2m rig for a d-710, hmm.


Thanks again for that heads up Don.

 You've probably already figured this out, but you can also go to Favorites in the routing section and it will list every station along with a distance and direction. You can select the station from the list, and then show it on the map to see its location (and you can zoom the map if needed). I use this feature to see who is nearby and possibly in simplex range.

So, if you have some time to "fiddle" with it you can get a pretty good idea of nearby activity. 

73,

Has anyone decoded the quirks in how the Nuvi-350 with the Argent data cable displays stations?

I just bought several and am very pleased, but I find the map display of other stations and symbols very quirky.  For any given other station, the symbol is there sometimes, and not there sometimes.

I zoom in and it appears, or disappears, I zoom out and it appears or dissappeares...  SOmetimes the call is there, sometimes not... sometimes the symbol is there, and sometimes not...

Im sure there is some kind of Garmin logic to it, but I haven't figured it out yet.  I'm loosing confidence that I am seeing the full set of other stations on the map, because of these quirks.

ANyone figured this out yet?
