What is the difference between the Garmin 2757 verses the 2797?

Watch for the "suffixes" on the Garmin Model Numbers to know what features they come with. For example, if you see "2757 LMT" that means that 2757 comes with Lifetime Maps & Traffic. If you see just "LM" without the "T," then it just comes with Lifetime Maps. Other Garmins without these exact suffixes will not have these features. I just bought a "2757 LM," & it does not come with Voice Command, but it does come with Lifetime Maps. I chose not to get Voice Command, because if I tell a tail-gater "exactly where to go" in traffic... I do not want my Garmin to take me there. : D Watch for the "suffixes" on the Garmin Model Numbers to know what features they come with.

2797 comes with lifetime maps and bluetooth capability, which the 2757 does not inclide. But the HUGE diference is that the 2797 comes with voice command. That is an amazing feature, so easy to use and well worth the price difference.

The only difference is the 36300 doesn't have an outside thermometer. And the weight difference would be the temperature probe and the wiring (although I just looked at the product pages and it seems like the listed weights are swapped (although the listed weights and measurements on Amazon are almost always wrong)). I got the 36500 and I'm pleased with it except for the fact that I think it should have an inside thermometer also (though I haven't seen any that do) and the fact that the map lights are incandescent rather than LED (and I just bought it last winter, that's very strange in this age of everything going LED), but they are easily changeable to LED (it's just a matter of finding a decent led replacement bulb (most of them are cheap china junk)).

Right on the Garmin site! I studied the features of both units, and further down, they have a comparison chart. That's where I saw something a bit different noted on one unit over the other, so I went back to make sure I knew what it was and sure enough it was the part about how that unit shows the actual highway signs. You might have to click on something in the details to see a demo of what you'll see on the screen. I loaned our portable (old)Garmin to our daughter & was caught without it, so going to get this upgraded one to replace it & let her have the old one...

Well after a couple weeks of going back and forth, I finally decided to buy the 765t. The deal breaker was the fact that the 1390t DOES NOT have a powered mount, so you need to plug the power cable in every time you mount it. I confirmed this with Garmin.

Hey kevin, i took a look at the specs and it looks like the 6877 model has cycle 5 software and the 6869 model has cycle 3 . I'm not really sure of what the change indicates... Tried to look online and couldn't find any info. Might need to go to alienware message board

The answer is "Yes, but..." The 2797 has a micro-USB connector on the bottom edge of the unit (right next to the micro SD card slot) that is used only for connecting to your computer for updates. When used in your car, the power connector is on the mount, not the 2797 itself, and that connector is a mini-USB. Since the traffic receiver is in the power cord that comes with the 2797, you'll want to use that cord. Also, I don't know what the power requirements were for your 255w, but the 2797 must use a lot, the power cord is very heavy-duty, like heavy-gauge 120v lamp cord.

I ran with my Garmin405CX just yesterday on a route that I know is almost exactly 3.1 miles. I've driven it and checked the odometer. I've walked it and counted paces with a pedometer. I've mapped it on Google and Yahoo to the same results. The 405CX absolutely nailed it. If it's an accuracy problem, I'd suspect it is related to location or satellite interference of some kind.

Don't know, mine was defective upon arrival, so I returned it and bought a Garmin---much better! Don't waste your money on this item.

I'm sorry but I don't know. I sent my BC20 back because the video was very poor, even in close proximity to the receiver. I understand that Garmin has made some recent improvements in this system but I don't know the latest owner evaluations. Good luck with your purchase.

AFAIK, Garmin uses the same routing algorithm as older units. However, I've heard complaints that the new ones can take you to routes that mystifies some users. I can't confirm this (my 765t pretty much routes me like my older 260 ... all things being equal, i.e., same settings). This is not to say my Garmin units' routing are spot on, they aren't always.

I bought the 260 and can recommend it (although later Garmin changed the interface to the 2x5 series ... which may or may not be a positive). My new 765t doesn't route me any better than my 260 did (it just has a few bells and whistles that I liked and needed ... lane assist for one).I've never owned a TomTom, so I cannot compare the two.

I am in the exact same situation, I am debating which GPS to return. 255WT or 285WT?285WT is actually cheaper too, since I didn't have to pay any tax buying from amazon.sigh... I should have just shelled out a little bit more for the 265WT from Radio shack.The bluetooth on the 285WT seems nice to have, but is the lifetime traffic on the 255WT any good, and is it more worthy than the bluetooth? I never followed the traffic information from my Navigion 2100T, since I am not sure how useful it is.

I can't imagine that the answer from Garmin makes any sense. Further a 2009 map on one device should show the same details and POIs that another (760) running 2009 has. Mine came today with 2009 maps and 3.x software. I've now upgraded to 4.2 There were other updates also made to the traffic receiver, GPS (MediaTek) chipset and BT version.

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'm sorry but I really don't know the answer to your question. The garmins I have a quite old. One of mine I believe is an 860 and it's probably 8 years old, so I really can't answer your question accurately. My advice is go to Garmin.com and try to contact them by phone.If his is the cord for your unit, I want you to know that it is a high quality cord and I'm happy with my purchase. good luck

This was returned and the Garmin was ordered instead. The Garmin has greater capabilities. It has 26,000 courses stored and gives distance on every hole.
