Its working great for me, and I go to 3 or 5 different address everyday but doesn't find the address if one single letter is wrong but I still love it

As long as the address is properly formatted and doesn't include things like County Road numbers mine works great.Not certain what the issue with your is?

Make sure you have the tollways option selected and if that doesn't do it then try updating maps again.Good luck.

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.

It understands it about 90% of the time. Then there are times you can't get it to understand what you're saying regardless of how you phrase it. I was looking for an address to a hotel, and there was no way for me to get it to understand the street address. I finally had to find another local business, and then I could use the hotels POI and say show me what's near it. It then showed the hotel with the correct address and all.

Yes, you have to go to the website to update. Im not sure about map updates but you can find whatever you want to know on the website.

I have a go 300 and the same year that I bnought it they came out with a new map. The one that came with it did not have my adress on it so I ordered the new one like $50.00 and it still does not have my adress on it. Ok yes I know where my adress is and how to get there. This place has been here for over 50 yrs and still don't have the adress when they show fire brakes running down the side of the Hwy That is not a road. Now they have come out with a new map for like $80.00 afread to buy it don't know if adress is on it or not and can't sent it back. They want you to down load it from TOM TOM HOME.

I don't know, but regardless, it is far inferior to Google maps. Streets and trips is a complete waste of money.

I used it traveling from Germany to France just last december. Coming back to Germany i realized some major roads where outdated, it was as easy as hooking up the tomtom to my mac, create a username on the lifetime update for my unit and there, updated maps for free!!! Beware that they are quite heavy updates, so depending on your connection speed it may take a while. Feb 24, 2014 by joshzaid

Yep, I have the same problem.Not sure why Mio introduces such a limitation.I asked my shop and they received confirmation from Mio that it should work.Unfortunately loading the maps fails, even if you copy them in the prime memory under the maps folder.The European maps use the fbl extention, the US ones use .map, not sure if this is the key to the problem.Anyway, if Mio thinks I will buy another Mio to use European maps then they are dreaming...

It usually works fine with Apple Maps for me. It has been more intermittent with Google Maps.

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

J. Wiggins:I had a similar time frame experience last year when downloading my map update via my Mac. Your recommendation of storing the downloaded file in a safe place, because it gets corrupted after 30 days, causes me to ask the question: where? On a thumb drive, for example? Is the self-destruct date written into the software and thus transmitted along with the new map material? Just curious. And, as an aside, my so-called "update" was missing some local retail establishments which have been in place for several years. That, too, I don't understand. Thanks.

In case this helps anyone, I was facing the same issue, and after endless research found out that after updating the maps, you have to sign into your myGarmin account, go to the Garmin unlock maps page and unlock/ activate the new maps. The maps that initially come with the unit are already unlocked, but apparently the update doesn't do this automatically - and doesn't explicitly tell you that you need to (thanks Garmin!). I also ended up reinstalling the new maps again - not sure if this helped, but it doesn't hurt to try! Now the maps are working correctly and I no longer get the "no data available" error.
