GPS Stolen

Hi everybody. I just wanted to post a warning to people out there about the "Go Home" feature on most GPS units. My GPS was stolen a few weeks ago along with my house keys. Even though I had enabled the Garmin Lock I still was wary that someone would crack it so I have changed the locks on my apartment. Now that I have replaced the unit instead of putting my address in as "Home" I have put a nearby landmark. That's just something to think about when you're setting up your unit.
Cheers.

Mine is set to the nearest POLICE station. I would love to see their look on the face...

Man, that's a bummer. I hear more and more people are being burglarized because of the way the economy. Good idea about the home information.

Need Help removing from window

I cannot remove the GPS holder fom the window of a car I just purchased. Does anyone have any suggestions? The only part on the window is a flat round disc, she said the device was a garmin.

I am worried that someone will think I have one and break a window to look for it,and I don't ....

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Loss of GPS

A very important point about recording a home address in the GPS unit. I'd never thought of that. And I mean a home address can be recorded or left somewhere in the history rather than bleeding obvious in favourites or "home". I'll make a change to mine & check it isn't listed.
