Is there a way to get these Garmin Nuvi 300 series sat nav units to go straight the map view by default (I'm using a Nuvi 300)? It's great that it automatically switches on an off when the ignition is swtiched on and off, but it would be even better if it went straight to the map view, instead of asking what I would like to do. Most of the time, I know where I am going, but would like to be warned of speed cameras/school zones etc, but I have to select 'View Map' every time before I set off. Maybe rec knows of some secret way of doing this (I'm sure the software developers will know a way).

I'd also like to turn off the warning about operating it whilst driving. I'm sure there is some legal reason why it displays this message, but if there is some 'back door' way of disabling this too, that would be perfect. To me, it would be perfect if it just switched on and went straight to the map view without any user interaction.

So if anybody out there knows how to do this, please let me know.
