I'm not sure how valuable lifetime traffic is outside the Golden Horseshoe area (Hamilton-Toronto) but lifetime map updates are probably a worthwhile feature to consider.

This is a follow-up to a previous post about the Garmin ecoRoute HD OBD II module and Garmin Mechanic software for Android.

I'm looking into what's available for iPhone right now.

I think I'll do a more comprehensive list of available OBD II module/smartphone software combos for a later post. I'll separate them by platform, one for Android and one for iOS.

Please read this post before reading the rest of the post below. Hello, I am new to Nissan's. I just bought a 2006 xterra and discovered that the rear suspension bottoms out on the city streets with no passengers. I discovered that the bump stops give the rear end 1.5" of travel. I am amazed th...

OK - I'll snap it up. Birthdays are fun, and just because you've gotten all cranky in your old age doesn't mean the rest of the world has to tip-toe around you, the old guy. So, on behalf of me, thank you Gino for having a birthday that you were willing to pass on to me :) So, who wants to go for a...

Wait, wait, wait! I don't celebrate my birthday anymore. I've celebrated enough of them already. Why don't one of you take this one. Really, I don't mind.

Tree KILLER! Don't you know trees are for camp fires!

Ya, for me being such a techy gadgety person I never once thought of that. Brilliant Yeah, I'm all about the PDF manuals. As soon as I buy a new gadget, doesn't matter what it is, if a manual or pull-a-part guide or quick reference guide exists for it in PDF form you can bet I have a copy of it on ...

Save them for the FIRE!

For those who aren't aware, you can download Owner's Manuals in PDF format here and if you have a modern smartphone that can display PDFs you can load them on there and say goodbye to digging in the glove compartment FOREVER!

Make sure you get a lube that is specifically made for brakes. They are usually synthetic and won't cause the rubber to swell. I bought Permatex Disc Brake Caliper Lube at Canadian Tire but I can't find it on their web site. http://www.permatex.com/images/DisplayImage.asp?210|/images/ProductPhotos/2...

Hmm mine stopped displaying the Shift_Eh that I had set, as well as the "Garmin" splash screen. It's just blank til the agreement part comes up. Anyone know what could cause this? Use the instructions I posted above to navigate to the 'Picture Viewer' and make sure that the images are sti...

Please see the bottom of the original post. I added further information about the functions you'll get depending on the device you're running the app on.

Any way to download it on a Apple computer? You can download the maps to ANY computer and open them. They are just PDF files with some extra data in them that makes them useful for mapping purposes. The app only comes in an iOS version and since laptop and desktop computers lack a GPS chip and ante...

Updated to reflect availability on Android. Alright all you map addicts, you can now download and view all those FREE topo maps that Natural Resources Canada (NRC) and the USGS make available online on your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch and Android devices.
