My unit did that when I was in a couple inner city settings; don't know if it was the limitations from the tall bldgs. or other signals in the city, but unit still functioned flawlessly. When I am out and away from city environments there is no problem. Since it did not interfere with the unit operation at any time, I don't think I would let it bother me.

I think I may understand your issue; the satellite signal strength changes over and over even though you're not moving. My particular unit takes some time now and again to finally latch on to a satellite signal. I've never really watched nor been concerned with the signal strength since the unit seems to be functioning perfectly. You don't mention your surroundings, however. I can tell you that inner city with all of the signal-blocking tall buildings for the GPS to deal with, I have had the unit be unusable. Is it possible this is contributing to your signal strength variations?

Go to the garmin website, get to customer support, and e-mail them. I had a question and it was replied to in 24 hours.

I don't know. I suggest you go to Garmin.com and pose the question with people who are more qualified to answer than I am.

I had the same problem with mine. I called Garmin and talked to someone, he said mine was still under warranty and he sent me a new one out. Hope this helps...

I don't know. Garmin has excellent customer service. I'll bet they can answer you. Or try GPSCity.com. You can call them, too.

I returned my explorist 710, the track time and date was always incorrect. I bought a Garmin Oregon, which I love. I use it to track my rides and hikes. I believe you can download maps, but I haven't. The altitude is extremely accurate.

You need to sync it. Check Garmin's website for the manual to your specific watch and the instructions to sync these two products.

I have just played with it locally. It will plan from current location to where ever you want to go. We will be road tripping in our RV in Feb and will give it a side by side test with our older Garmin. ROGER

I have the same question. Garmin's version is 2013.10. Some reviews here were complaining about the maps being out of date. Could this be the reason this one is so cheap?

No I am not having those type of issues, but I have had some need of support, and in contacting Garmin support they have resolved my problems, including reinstalling updated firmware and software. So I advise you to go directly to them for help on these issues.

Hi Diggity Skitty:Try de-activating the traffic service on your nuvi 265T by going to settings. See how it works out for a couple of days. If the strange recalculating (or re-routing) is still happening, then go ahead and return it. It may just be the NAVTEQ FM Traffic Service. Also, have you updated your software to version 4.6 from the Garmin WebUpdater on the Garmin.com Website? See if the updated firmware works. I did that for my 265WT so I will see how that works out. Here's the website: http://www8.garmin.com/products/webupdater/howtoinstall.jsp Hope this helps. Ed --- Hi Diggity Skitty:Try de-activating the traffic service on your nuvi 265T by going to settings.

I have had my Garmin Nuvi 1370T for the past four years, and have used it extensively in Europe, always with great satisfaction. It is supplied with the programming for Europe. Encourage you to buy one soon, as it has been replaced by another model which costs $495., even from Amazon.

I was able to get a hold of Amazon support by phone today. I was told the Nuvi 350 units being shipped have NT 2008 map in it. I asked about the v.5 mentioned on Amazon website and he did not know about that. He would check and have it corrected. According to him, Garmin will start shipping units with 2009 map in about a month, starting with the 200 series, 300's, and so on. Based on this, I plan to buy one now even with 2008 map. Again, he could not confirm about free update from Garmin. If I can get a free update, that's great. If not, I'm still happy since price had come down significantly

It is not always accurate. Sometimes it seems to show yesterday setting and the phone has to be restarted. But nice to have. Hope the software improves.

If you go to the Garmin web site it will provide information. Or you can contact support. They are very helpful.
