n&uuml;vi 500 discontinuted ? Why does Amazon product details page say "Discontinued by Manufacturer: Yes" According to the Garmin site, Nuvi 500 has not been discontinued.

The Nuvi 500/550 is listed among Discontinued products on the Garmin page, so I would say that it has indeed been discontinued by Garmin. The nearest replacement for this unit would be the Garmin Zumo 220, which is a very similar device, but adds bluetooth functionality for motorcycle helmet use.

Sorry John, I do not know. But I did find a link that you may want to check out--http://www.gomadic.com/Garmin.html?device_name=nuvi+2457+%2F+2497+LMT. Good luck.

I purchased a Garmin Nuvi in December of 2012 and there have been NO UPDATES to the "free" lifetime maps as of January 2015 .... ripoff!!!

That's what I'm hoping, but I didn't know because the title says "(discontinued by manufacturer)"

We are sorry as we are just a seller on Amazon we would nto be able to answer your question as to why Amazon has discontinued selling a product.

As mentioned above, i did ask the Amazon representative about v.5 being mentioned in the technical details and got a response that the description needs to be updated. The 350 is presently being shipped with 2008 maps. Registering the product with garmin should provide a free 2009 map update. I am not sure whether Garmin would really provide this service for free or not, but for $200, i think the 350 with 2008 maps is a very good buy.

I can't help. You can check at the Garmin site for the specific item you need (where I found my discontinued item). I wouldn't count on anything not specifically listed there - then order the right one.

I don't think they have been discontinued as they are still available from Homelite. We continue to get them in any quantity we want. I think it's a mistake on the listing.

i'm not to sure if they are still there or not. i quit using the guru 2 years ago when the garmin watch came out.

Garmin replaces units very often. The 8x0 series has been discontinued (but still supported) because Garmin came up with the 8x5 series to take its place. If you like the 8x0 series, then buy it. The price might be more attractive since the 8x5 series came out.

These are not made anymore, Garmin bought TT out in Jan of 2012 and stopped production on these late in 2013 or so.

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.

Interesting question. I would guess, probably, but contact Garmin directly on their website. I'm betting that is another market they might want to look into, even if it doesn't work.

i buy it directly from the manufacture, this item was actually on closeout, so it may be discontinued.

dsrussell; do you think that there might be to many issues with the the nuvi 255w right now? The ( system software missing ) occurance seems to seems to be showing up more and more on these units. Thanks in advance any thoughts you have on this issue.

i have been using a Garmin Nuvi255W for about a year and have been very happy but now it no longer says the street names and it no longer recognizes any cities I put in. how do I fix these two problems?
