Can you play vids, mpgs or mp4's on the nuvi 300. If not is there any software available for this or do you think there might be a software package available in the future to do this?
Thanks for any replys

Hi alprod.
to the mad house.
I think it's highly unlikely that you will ever be able to play vids or mpegs on this unit.
I only say this because I'm running the 360 and the screen refresh rate is terrible so there's no way it could handle video/mpeg, and I'm only running 'normal' map detail.
I've e-mailed Garmin about this but they conveniently 'forgot' to reply to this question.
Funny how they've answered all my queries before and after this question was sent.
You never know, I may be wrong. I hope I am.

Thanks for the reply mate, looks a great system but if it had that extra functionality it would be perfect! :D |

Hi alprod.
I do agree. it's a great system.
It does what it says on the tin/box. Everything works on it, unlike some others I could mention.
The actual unit appears to know where you are anyway, even if the screen is playing catch up. I only say this because I get my speed alerts in the same place every time regardless of where the display shows me. So now I hardly look at it anyway. I just listen out for my nav instructions and the bings and bongs.
That'll do for me. :D |

Hi alprod.
There was a time in the not too dim and distant past, that we were happy if the things got us from A to B
