    Go into the options and under the general tab there is a setting for yard time. Set that to where your yard is at.

    The clock on the map screen is in local time. This started out as a test feature, but was later inputted as a regular feature. Once you set your yard time in Preferences, then on the map screen press the "green" speed indicator to see the Local/Yard/Destination times.

    No, it cannot be removed.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Anyway to adjust screen brightness? It automatically dims at dusk, but I'd like it to be even dimmer once fully dark...

    When ever I get the gps to connect to wifi it constantly freezes up. When not connected to WiFi it has no issues.

    They will replace at RM I believe. Odd that the battery is gone. What makes you think the battery is shot?

    Thanks,

    Does it freeze up also if you try to connect it to your home network?

    If on production there might be a freeze if connected to traffic, but what you are saying it freezes just connecting?

    Thanks,

    Same here, even at full dim, still a little distracting. Wish there was another setting for REALLY dim (as in off) until a turn comes up or I tap the screen again.

    Noticed a new update (is there any other kind?) and lots of good stuff.

    Is there any way to create groups in the address book through Windows? I want to make state folders but would rather use a keyboard and dragh and drop. Would be really great if we could make subfolders... so I could click on folder STATES and then get a drop down with all 50 state folders.

    ..O/C
    .BASF
    .DOW
    .QWASH
    .TRUCK STOPS
    -- STATES
    |
    AL
    AR
    AL

    and ect...
