Thanks in advance for any help on these.

Usually the option to disable the auto zoom this not available in Garmin's profile for the Americas in nuvis 2xx7/8 and 35x7/8, but there is a trick: just switch to the profile of a European country, resetting the GPS and choosing a country in the initialization, as United Kingdom, for example, and appears the option to disable the Auto Zoom

From the main page in Settings/Map&Vehicle appears Auto Zoom option (Enable / Disable) and Audible Alert Speed (very useful).



Step by step for users less acquainted:

1. from the home page of the gps, enter in the Volume page, press and hold the upper-right corner of the screen to enter in the "Diagnostic Page"
2. click on "Clear All User Data", but before backup your data if necessary (read note below).
3. gps restarts and requested the name of the country. Select "United Kingdom", f.e, and press OK.​
5. Change in Settings, Language & Keyboard, the text language, Voice and Keyboard that you want,if applicable.
6. Ended procedures is necessary to tune patiently satellites, time-consuming process because the system "thinks" are in United Kingdom ..


* Backup your data:
Use Basecamp or Mapsource for this.
