Hier nun die Mail, die in an Garmin schreiben will. Ihr werdet feststellen, daß ich sie stark ausgedünnt habe. Die Gründe habe ich hinreichend erwähnt. Ihr könnt nun gerne hier diskutieren, obs so okay ist.
ciao,

Dear Garmin Support Team,
as member of the german web forum 'pocketnavigation.de' we have collected and compiled quite some issues for the nüvi 350. Most issues also apply on the other nüvi models, not all of them have been positively validated.
Since this email is the outcome of countless postings and several multi-page discussion threads, we kindly ask you to (i) work on the critical bugs with highest priority, (ii) improve the 'cosmetic issues' to the soonest convenient date and (iii) consider soon implementation of the items listed in the wish list.
Furthermore, a conciderable number of users including myself are quite annoyed that although we send out a correction list in May this year none of the items have been corrected.
If you have any questions I would be more than happy to support you solving them.
1. Critical Bugs:
1.1 Routing Error: Although set as an avoidance, the nüvi includes Motorways for routes. Example: Osnabruck, Germany to Bremen, Germany (distance 120km) includes the A1.
Comment: This behaviour was reported to be on purpose. Anyway, the forum members regard this to be not acceptable since the user does not know when the device decides to take motorways thus making the avoidance option unreliable. Applies to model 350, FW3.3 (GPS SW2.6), 3.6 (GPS SW 2.6 & 2.7), 3.62b (GPS SW2.7), swedish 3.70 (GPS SW2.7), 3.80 (GPS SW2.7)
2. Cosmetic Issues:
2.1 Translation mistakes in the following German menues
2.1.1 System/"Locale" => .../"Lokales" or "Länderspezifisch"
2.1.2 System/Locale/"Kilometers" => "Kilometer"
2.1.3 System/Locale/"Change All" => "Alles Ändern"
2.1.4 System/Locale/Change All/"Select a Locale" => "Land auswählen"
2.1.5 System/Locale/Change All/Select a language => "Sprache auswählen"
2.1.6 System/Locale/Change All/Select a voice language => "Stimme auswählen"
2.1.7 System/Locale/Change All/Select a time format => "Zeitformat auswählen"
2.1.8 System/Locale/Change All/Select a time format => "Zeitzone auswählen"
2.1.9 System/Locale/Change All/Select a daylight saving preference => "Sommerzeit auswählen"
2.1.10 System/Locale/Change All/Select units => "Einheiten auswählen"
2.1.11 Einstellungen/"Proximity Points" => "Annäherungspunkte"
2.1.12 Einstellungen/Proximity Points/"Alerts" => "Warnungen"
2.1.13 Einstellungen/Proximity Points/TourGuide/"Prompted" => "nach Aufforderung"
2.1.14 Zieleingabe/"Coordinates" => "Koordinaten"
2.1.15 Zieleingabe/Coordinates/"Enter Coordinates" => "Koordinaten eingeben"
2.1.16 Zieleingabe/Meine Favoriten/"My Current Location" => "Meine Position"
2.1.17 Zieleingabe/Meine Favoriten/My Current Location/"My Current Location" => "Meine Position"
2.1.18 Zieleingabe/Meine Favoriten/My Current Location/"Coordiantes" => "Koordianten"
2.1.19 Zieleingabe/Meine Favoriten/My Current Location/"Elevation" => "Höhe"
2.1.20 Zieleingabe/Meine Favoriten/Meine Favoriten/Favorit auswählen/Bearbeiten/Löschen "Delete this Location?" => "Favourit löschen?"
applies to Model 350, FW3.3-3.8, GPS SW 2.6 & 2.7
2.2 Announcements on motorway intersections are made in two steps (turn right towards xxx, then keep right), whereas the target direction is announced just when you are on the ramp already (now keep right to yyy).
The nüvi shall announce the target direction right from entering the intersection in order to avoid confusion.
3. Wish List
3.1 User-configurable data fields on the cockpit page.
3.2 A more often actualized screen, so called 'Smooth Scrolling'
3.3 A Route-Planner with multiple Via-points.
3.4 A speed-depending speaker volume.
3.5 Autozoom: Activate and manual de-activation.
3.6 A read-out announcement when reaching the target with target name (as implemented in the english TTS-voice).
3.7 Seperated avoidance for the german 'Fernstrassen / Autobahnen'
applies to all models, all software versions
