I bought mine on Amazon and it was sealed, but it doesn't work and after 3 hours on the phone this morning on hold or talking to 2 different tech support people, I'm going to have to return it. Hopefully they won't send it to someone else then!

I ordered Uniden cordless phones from one of the other stores selling on Amazon. They were a gift to my daughter. She called me and told me that they were sent to her in a shoe box. That's right a shoe box!

Yes, you register it online. I think you have to register it within 30 days of first using it. If you do this and a map upgrade becomes available within 60 days of when it's first use was detected, you are eligible to get the free map upgrade. If you log-in to your "MyGarmin" account, I believe in the "manage maps" section it will show what map upgrades you are eligible for. If you have a problem, click on the "contact support" button on the main menu and then click on the email. At least for me, the response using email was surprisingly fast. I emailed twice in one day and got a response the same day to both of them. Good luck! Yes, you register it online. I think you have to register it within 30 days of first using it.

I've not had this happen with a Garmin, but I did have it occur with a different item (an Archos media player). It was clearly not new and the seal was broken. I contacted Amazon and they sent out another for exchange right away.

i brought a 265wt and strangely it was not sealed but appeared to be brand new

Mine came the same way (unsealed), but everything appears to be factory fresh.

Mine was sealed in plastic so I would think your's is either used or tampered with in some form.

I called Garmin on July 13, 2007 (yesterday) regarding the updates for my then Garmin Nuvi 680. (I have since returned the unit to Amazon)---Anyway, I was told the updates would be available in a few weeks and would not be free. The cost was available, but I assume it will be the $75. Evidently there are mixed responses either from Garmin, or from Garmin Owners as to what will be "free" and what will be available for a fee due to Garmin Customer Service not having a standard anwer to this question when you finally get a hold of someone there (30 min. wait on the phone).So, until it happens no one will know for sure.

I noticed that as well -- now it looks like Amazon has stopped selling (new) units themselves altogether, with no explanation. We bought ours from Amazon recently and it seems to work fine. A thorough and generally well-done review was posted by someone on July 25 if you haven't seen it.

I do not understand what you mean by sealed box, but this product is refurbished. So it will have some scratches, as the seller has indicated, and will come in a "plain brown box" like most refurbished products typically are repackaged into. FYI, the data cable and charger is not a stock part.

I ordered it with 5 other items because it was an amazon carrier and I needed to have over 35$ worth of items, so I got a very large box and it was very discrete. As far as I noticed, it just said it was from amazon, so be sure to buy the one from amazon and you should be fine.

Mine was sealed and exactly the same as if I picked it up at the Apple Store. Amazon is an Apple authorized reseller.

I think Amazon has confused me with the person who sold a product on their site. I have never sold anything on any site. I have purchased a brand new computer through Amazon and encountered my own issues with its arrival and a lot of other issues. I truly wish that Amazon would get their facts and records straight. If I ever get another false email representing or stating that I sold a product on their site I WILL SUE THEM. This is ridiculous!!! Please check with Amazon again and let them know that this DEBORAH never sold anything on their website. I hope you find the answers that you need regarding the product that you purchased (as it was not from me) I think Amazon has confused me with the person who sold a product on their site.

Thanks, DS. Garmin's reply to me was that i must be using a non-Garmin charger. I'm using the charger that came in the box! This thing is brand new. I just let them know that and I'll post back with their reply.

O.Ross - The case I received is a "hardish" case and has a cloth pouch inside that I put my 5" Nuvi 1450 GPS into. Then with the car charging cord, I wind it up and put a rubber band around it. Then, it will fit in the case sometimes bending the corded package in the middle. It fits comfortably. If you use the GPS a lot, then putting it in and out of a case all the time is not worth the effort. I only use mine occasionally and want it stored adequately in between uses. I am not sure if my 1450 is the same size as your 3597. I can send photo if you want to contact me at mredsid@comcast.net.

Thanks P. Romero. I would really like to buy from Amazon because of the price and what not but I don't want to have to pay $75 for a map update after I buy. Let me know what you find out. Thanks.

I ordered mine from Best Buy last Friday - 6 days ago. Guess I was lucky enough to get one of the last. They didnt have it in stock at the store. It's suppose to be hand delivered by Best Buy tomorrow! I suppose I should have them unpack it and test it before they leave!!

***UPDATE!!!*** I JUST GOT AN EMAIL FROM AMAZON.COM THAT STATED MY GARMIN NUVI 760 WAS SENT OUT TODAY AND WILL ARRIVE TOMORROW!!!! HOLY MAN THAT IS FAST SERVICE!!!! I just ordered it yesterday...I guess it wasn't on back order after all. And I did the free standard shipping and I'm getting it within 2 days of ordering! Cool! I love Amazon.com!!! To think of all the frustration I got from dinking around with a few of those cheap online dealers...I canceled an order from Broadwayphoto.com because of the terrible customer service and the wait time on the back order was 8 WEEKS! I called two more online sellers with simuliar responses. I am doing the happy dance that I canceled with them and ordered here! Ordered mine today for $249.99 w/free shipping...seems the GPS is on backorder till 11/24...just one week. Everywhere else I've tried to order from online is BO'ed for up to 8 weeks. Hope Amazon comes through for me again at this terrific price!

Check to be sure the listing says New. If it's new & unopened you should receive it in it's original Nintendo packaging (factory sealed) with all the included accessories & manual. If it's new & unopened (factory sealed) it is Never Shrink-Wrapped. I know this to be a fact because I worked in the Nintendo (formerly Pokmon) store in NYC & all factory sealed boxes come with a special stickers on each end that when peeled open even gently it is obvious that it was unsealed to prevent tampering, etc. This is also true for all the other gaming consoles (XBox 360 XBox One, PS3 & PS4, Wii & Wii U, etc, even the old game systems & handhelds from years ago). All retail employees can tell if it was opened & will not take it back unless of course you are selling it back as used for way less even if it was just purchased 5mins prior. Good luck everyone.

It is a brand new. It comes sealed in the box. I believe it has a plastic wrapper as well. Well I got it like that when I purchased it. I can't take guarantee with others product but I am pretty much sure it is not used. Hopefully I cleared your dilemma.

Mine came packaged new. If yours was not packed, something is wrong and you should complain to the seller; unless you purchased one used.

It sure is -- the one I got was anyway... I guess it just depends on the merchant selling it - but YES - anyone that says "NEW" condition should be in a sealed box. If you order and it isn't, send it back.
