I have the same Garmin Nuvi1300 and it worked 3 times now it says cant calculate route when ever I try to navigate anywhere. I am shocked that this is a product of Garmin!

Thanks!!!! I recently had the same "disconnected" problem; Garmin support took me through an upgrade and I was fixed for about a week before it returned. Since I didn't have a chnce to contact them during Support hours, I went online, and your excerpt from the longer fix above worked for me, too!! Just hope it stays fixed this time.

I have also updated the firmware to the most recent 12/28 and am also still having freezing issues. The Garmin reliably freezes after about 2 hrs on usage. I have had Garmin products for several years now and this is the only one that freezes. The others have been solid!

That's a real bummer, Christophe. Have you tried rebooting? You do this by sliding the on/off switch to the on position and holding it there for 15 to 20 seconds. If that fails, then it's off to Garmin. I wish you the best of luck.

I've read that others have experienced this (not only on this model). Contact Garmin. They either need (or will have) a firmware update or you should be entitled to a new unit (Garmin usually pawns off reconditioned units to their customers that want an exchange).

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...

Hi Tina, I'm sorry, I can't help with that. I'd contact the Garmin people and ask them. They are very helpful and knowledgable. What I ended up doing was sending the Receiver I got from Amazon to Garmin and they sent me the Receiver that worked for my unit at no additional charge other than what it cost me to ship it to them.

I had that problem....spent a while day on the phone with a tech fron Magellan and ended up finding out the unit was faulty right out of the brand new box. Returned it and bought a Garmin Oregon and never looked back

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.

Magelllan informed me that the unit must be returned to them for battery replacement. Mine refused to fully charge just after going out of warranty. I have since purchased a garmin.

Then it has probably died. That is what happened to mine. Garmin wants $80 bucks to analyze . Not worth it!

Talk to Tech Support at Garmin and do some research yourself before you invest

Mike, I agree what Garmin said made no sense, but it is working today. So who knows what really happened. Where did you get those other updates for the traffic receiver?

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.
