lane assist - 855 vs 760? Does the "lane assist w/junction view" work as described?

Yes, lane assist works very well. Junction view is very nice to look at but it is just a "fixed" picture" - the perspective does not change as you get closer. Many interchange junctions don't yet have this feature incorporated in to the map data. Map updates hopefully will have more lane assist data in the future.

I wondered about that too .. although I'd trust Garmin's website and other 3rd party discussion sites ... the ?70 units are built to contain maps for both continents, and the ?80 are the first one's with MSN Direct. Perhaps there'll be a future ?90 (390/690) range that combines the two sets of new features? :) For now, I'm just wondering whether tot ake the plunge with the 660 and its FMt raffic/preloaded POIs, or wait for the MSN-direct 680 to be released (April?)!

Yes - the RV 760LMT does warn of Steep climbs and dscents. - IN fact as far as I can tell the RV 760LMT is the same GPS as the Truck 760 except for a different " POI" factory installed database for RVs instead of Trucks.

Sorry Karen, I don't know. It worked great in my 760. I guess you can order it and send it back if it doesn't work..

Per the previous poster, I believe it is 75w90. My understanding is that it was really developed for HD transmissions. I run it in my 2010 Fat Bob.

Glad I looked here before buying one. I have a 760 but was going to get the 855 for my other car. Now I will stay with the 7's.

Personally, don't know but the manf. Has info on their site specific the applications. The one I have I used on my 2002 envoy. It did what it was supposed to however the pioneer DVD steer required connections into the park brake and back up lights and this wigged out the cars CPU. These connections are required so video playback can not be done unless the car is in park. Hope this helps.

As noted there are work arounds for ads while the unit is set for driving mode (ignore, turn off traffic, etc.) However, if the unit is set for pedestrian mode (nuvi) yikes! The whole route and more fills up- very distracting...

I purchased a Magellan 4250about two months ago, after having a Garmin 2610 for about 4 years. The updating of the vehicle icon is jerky and you can pass a street before the unit will show you at the intersection. There is a upgrade (2.36) for the 4250 that is suppose to correct this problem but does not. The Magellan service contacts are off shore and you may have trouble talking with them. You may want to try a 4250 prior to buying.

How about the 885 without MSN Direct, and adding the GTM 20, which gives Navtec fm traffic? That's what I'm considering doing. Might want to call Garmin to see if this option will give you what you want. If you do, would you report back?Yes. 855 is the one i mean. Sorry for the confusion.

Garmin claims that you can import a route from MapQuest into the 760lmt. However, I tried it and it didn't work well at all. I suggest that you call Garmin technical support and ask them; however, be informed that my experiences with their technical support have not been positive. It's possible that I just got poor representatives but I doubt it. My suggestion is that you have a paper backup with you at all times and take control of your route yourself. The 760 unit is one of Garmin's newest and best units, but it isn't very flexible. Good luck -

My experience is with 796. The basket was handy, since my hands needed to be on the steering handles. Also, the single break worked just fine. I used this primarily in my home.

I did the update, went smooth. Do you know is there is a comprehensive list of what was fixed/updated?I have some issues driving on a divided highway (Dale Mabry in Tampa) when you go by all the turn lanes between median, the gps tells you to "stay right ahead", every half mile or so, very annoying and not needed. I am already on the road I should be on. Any word on the volume, I have sebring convertible, with the top up it is noisier than the average car, really can't even hear the gps.

I have never owned a 660, so I can't really help you as to the specifics between the two. I thought the only difference is the 660 doesn't use XM for sat radio, weather and traffic. I will say, I have had 3 665's. The first 2 failed under warranty. My current one still shuts down, maybe once on a long ride, for no particular reason. I assume you've read my review of the 665 on Amazon. The 550 was a much better unit, but didn't have the NEXRAD radar.

Fred, I believe the nuvi 765 and 765T are the exact same unit. T stands for traffic which is a separate accessory in the box. The cradle should work with both. See: http://www.gpscity.com/questions?qid=7103 Good Luck!

It's the Navtec (sp?) system not the worse or best but it works for me. You will need to update it though( more money). The live traffic works and comes with the system. You can also call JVC for specifics. This is my second JVC the first was stolen. That should tell you of what I think of them. Alpine sucks got one hated it from the start very limited to JVC
