Do you need a subscription to use a Garmin?

That wasn't me. My cat walked across my keyboard when I was distracted by the updated status of Paris Hilton.
The manual for the Garmin is lacking and you really need to just play with the device and touch different places when in different screens. There is one place you can touch and it will bring up a view of all the satellites it's tracking and your elevation. That's one thing I miss about getting stoned back in the 70's. I could sit down for hours and hours finding all the stuff the manual doesn't tell you. Some of my discoveries have been a result of hitting a bump and touching in the wrong place.

You guys are killin' me!!!
Thanks for all the responses. My girl is happy that there won't be a monthly cost. I was actually going to wait on the gps unit, but she bought it as a birthday gift. I love the XM, I'll probably love the gps as well. Does the 660 come with Jill??

You guys are all idiots and I'll be the only one with a working unit. I was sitting at home in my chair with my GPS and it didn't work. I used Paypal and sent money to Terry. I went out to get Chinese food and bingo, my unit was now working. Am I the only one with brains and common sense on here?

Steve,Steve, when will you learn,......you went for Chinese food,...they know where you are and what you're doing. Terry is just a double agent working for the Chinese space program. A percentage of YOUR Chinese food order went to the space program,...Terry sent the message to the Chinese space program that you went for Chinese food, and the Chinese turned on the satellite 8)
Everytime you eat Chinese food a microscopic tracking device goes into your colon, and they know where you are, and what you're doing. Here's how you get rid of it,.....bend over, take your index finger and thumb,........oh crap there at my front door,...gotta go,.....good luck man.
