Why are the reviews for different models? I got to this page via the Nuvi 1390LMT. I want to see reviews for the 1390 only, not anything else. Why are all the reviews lumped together?

I agree-have been in the market for a new GPS for awhile now. Really do not need one [my Garmin 350 still does the job]. I like some of the newer features on the 1300 series-see such mixed reviews!! Model numbers should be mandatory when submitting a review so the customer can differentiate between units.

I changed my opinion and bought the Magellan 1470, returned it, and bought the 755T. Look for my review on the 1470...Functionality over Usability. Annoyed me very much.So far VERY happy with the 755T, however, I'm about to go on a make it or break it trip with it. Not far but it will test the traffic capabilities. If I don't like the traffic the 755T will go back to Amazon and I may go back to the idea of the 760. However I'm so far very impressed with the 755T, as I should be given the price point.

That seems to be some basic stuff they've taken away. I emailed Garmin as well as Amazon to see if I can get someone to say they are wrong, or maybe amazon can fix their description. A lot of money to spend if it is false. After reading reviews, some say they have the features, and some say they don't. Maybe they are more "previews" than "reviews." I was in particular looking forward to the garmin locate feature, as well as the routing features. I also like the new size of the 1300 series. Thank you for posting this info, I hope to find some answers from Amazon or Garmin. That seems to be some basic stuff they've taken away.

HI,Robert! &gt; &gt; Could you tell me why do you return the Autel (AULMD801) MaxiDiag Scan Tool ? &gt; &gt; &gt; Best regards &gt; Juno &gt; &gt; ------------- End message ------------- &gt;Yes Juno, The Autel (AULMD801) MaxiDiag Scan Tool would not make a connection to my truck (1999 Chevy K1500), the connections were tight and the truck battery was fully charged as indicated in the troubleshooting section of the book. I used the software provided with the tool and it would not update or upgrade or any thing. Than I went to the website listed on the Autel case (provided) (www.auteltech.com) This tool was not listed on the Autel website. But look at this website who says: http://www.maxi-scan.com/maxisys/2-autel-maxidiag-pro-md801-MS006.html NOTICE: MD801 have stop production,and autel don't provide update for it right now, we suggest you to purchase the upgrade version/Substitute:Autel MD802. and here's some comments on this website: http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B005KXL5EC

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.

J.RIPORTELLAI WENT TO BEST BUY TO GET SOME IMPUT ON THE GPS AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NUVI 350 AND THE BASIC GPS IS THE NUVI IS GOOD IF YOU TRAVEL TO DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, IT DOES NOT SAY THE STREET NAMES, AND IF YOU WANT JUST A BASIC ONE THIS ONE IS NOT IT, THIS ONE HAS ALL THE BELLS AND WHISLES WHICH YOU WILL MOST LIKLY NOT USE AND THE PRICE IS FAR MORE. THE GARMIN C550 IS A VERY GOOD ONE AND IT TELLS YOU THE STREETS.

Why are there so many refurbished Garmin GPS's for sale. Is it because they sella ton, and get a 1/2 ton returned ? Are people taking one trip and returning units?Any ideas????

Thanks guys for the update. I ended up in buying nuvi 2460LMT and I liked voice command, bluetooth connection with my iphone4. I didn't like Jill's terrible voice and missing map details.When I cross speed limit then I see a blinking red notification on screen. Does you nuvi2460 LMT gives an audible warning when you cross speed limit?Thx

Hello,I just got a 1490T. Please excuse my ignorance, but I decided on that unit for the traffic feature as I commute over 35 miles each way. Thing is, I can't find a description anywhere that tells me what I need to do to have access to just the traffic info i.e. do I need to have the GPS active even when I don't need it - I know how to get to my office, for example. I'm a bit confused......Regards,Barry

Thanks, Valdvogel...you gave me just the info I needed. Of course, the first inclination is to purchase an expensive NUVI, but it's good to know that an earlier hand-held works even better! We already have a GPS (Staples brand) that works great for road directions, but it uses wrong coordinates for geo-caching. It's just too difficult to"translate" the coordinates for every cache! Thanks again!

Good info...and thanks for the link. I have an 8GB Class 6 and it is working fine in the nuvi 855.

Mine already had the 2010 maps preinstalled so I didn't try to update. A little off topic, but one thing that bothers me however is that the 765t I got is a bit inaccurate for my home address. My nuvi 260W is right on target for my home address while the 765t shows that I am about 800 ft away from my house. I tried it out on non-residential targets and the 260W was always right on target while the 765t was off about 50 to 200 ft. Not quite sure what the issue is but the 260W appears to have a more sensitve/accurate chip set.

I did a lot of research on the GPS navigation devices available from 4.5" to 7". I tried all of them that had demos in the stores and had owners I knew let me work theirs. I found it to be a matter of personal choice as to what one likes or dislikes. Also, one can read through Amazon's and others customer reviews. I like the features of the TomTom devices. I've owned a TomTom 4.5", two 5" and now the VIA 1605 TM 6", which I would not trade for any other one. Do your research looking for the one that has the features you like and meets your needs. Keep in mind that those who own other brands are just as passionate about theirs. bob

Is the 255W or 260W better? I'm specifically looking for one with MPH on on the screen so I can see how fast I'm traveling, and I can't find anything to tell me whether the 260 has it.

GOOD NEWS! And THANKS for the update, A. Cox. TomTom - clearly - has "heeded the call"! (In my own defense, my experience with TomTom is over three weeks old, and a LOT can happen in that time.)I also agree - to a large extent - with Cox: side by side, I'd probably pick the TomTom over the Nuvi. However, I have not experienced the problems Cox identifies. My decision to go with the Nuvi was based largely upon TomTom's position of mid-December. And - for me - the SD card feature of the Nuvi gives it an edge over the TomTom. But like I said, that is a completely subjective preference.
