Navgion 8100 ?!!! WOW: Slick or what??

Yes, you are probably right about pricing, but estimated release date for European 8100 is April 2008. I am hopeful U.S. Release will be before end of year--I think it is feasible for Navigon, since the hardware is already in place. Just needs updated North American map data...

Anyone who has purchased this: Can you please tell me how the software is? Does it glitch? Is it slow or fast? How does the navigation work? Is it completely different then Google Maps?

Hey Joseph, I don't know. It dose not seem to work for me. But I may not have something set right. I was more interested in navigating then anything else, which it dose very good. If you contact Emprum at support@emprum.com I'm sure they could answer your question.

Thank you. Sounds good. Now I want to find it in combo with the NuMaps Lifetime. Nuvi combo have the NuMaps Lifetime for $50 extra, but I can't find this with a combo yet.----------------Garmin said the one with lifetime update for maps (3790LMT) would be out in September, keep checking their website. Said the cost was $499.99. I hate to spend that money, but am getting the voice activated one for safety reasons. Said it was shipped to Best Buy, but I can find it only in Canada...

You're correct. After a lot of use.... i still like my unit, it works strong and everything, but the interface.... sucks. Along with that, after a year, im still trying to get webaccess to work fully. I would recommend keeping an open eye and getting this one solely because its on a good deal

Oh yeah. I have an 810. Works great. The turn by turn sometimes isn't all that but not a consequence of the added map. Probably a consequence of the device.

You should chill out. You sound like someone who was raised on microwaved food and too much television. My update DVDs only took two days. They were massive files. I was thankful that I did not have to download them. I have had absolutely no problem with Garmin's customer service either. Probably has something to do with the polite tone I used to address them. I had no problem with the updates wiping out my favorites, but I will say that it warned me to back them up. Maybe you missed that same warning? How would you like it if someone circumvented customer service and bothered you with a petty issue like this? The actual IT people have a lot more to do than listen to your complaints. Also, why must the IT people all have wives? Did you ever think that in the "modem age" women would be allowed outside of their houses....Heaven forbid we let them work in IT at Garmin! Cheers, Bkcraft PS Nice extended use of punctuation. You wouldn't frequent MySpace, by any chance, would you?

Thanks a lot, Rossi! Will be working on them shortly.BTW, what about the map application that comes with 08? because I'm stuck trying to figure out how to make any use of it... Any have the experience of downloading maps from the web and make it work MANNUALLy? because direct downloading and installing seems impossible!!! Thanks!Josh

BizTraveler -- can you also tell me whether the 120 is cool and quiet? I've heard that the NC10 scores high on both accounts. And, after owning a couple of hot, noisy laptops, it's a priority for me. Thanks!

Um, it was on sale for Black Friday weekend... You have to act quick. It's out of stock because everyone snapped it up then! Plus, it's more expensive than the non-nav because it has more features.

Thanks for the update, dsrussell. I'll take your advice and check out the review of the 765 that you mentioned at gpsmagazine.com. It's too bad that the folks at Garmin didn't include this info about the 765 in their owners manual. Must have been an oversight on their end. Again,thanks a bunch!

I just called Garmin. The person who answered the phone said that if you get a unit with V8 mapping data you will be sent a free update when they become available at the end of July 2007 [or maybe early August]. To get the free update, don't order it through ordinary channels. Call customer support and talk to a person. He reassured me that it won't matter who I happen to talk to when I call back; this is the new policy. It tool me 10 minutes to get through at 10:40AM PDT. As soon as they announce the update, at which point the rumor of the new policy will have spread far and wide, i'm sure wait times will increase, but there's a finite number of units covered so it'll settle down if you wait a week or so. They also told me to expect substantial improvements in the map data and POI data of V2008 over V8. This last statement, of course, should be taken with a grain of salt. -dk

Garmin's website is still showing $60/year for the FM Traffic subscription. Are you sure about your info? I just bought the c580, so it's not really a concern for me, but if the price continues to drop I may replace my other c3xx series GPS (the c580 went to my wife) with a 550 or 580.

I am in the same boat. I found that the 1200 is the "newest" model of it... And don't like it. The 1400 looks slick, but doesn't have too good of reviews. Did you find anything since then? I see you posted in Jan. :)

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.

Reformat your computer's hard drive to reinstall the mapping software? That is totally unacceptable. No software installation, of any type except Windows itself, should *ever* require such drastic action. And any decently-designed update software should not fail to the extent described, even if interrupted for any reason. There are always fallback and recovery strategies for software upgrades where the unit can at least operate minimally even if interrupted at the worst possible time; interrupted at any other time should simply have the update not take effect and leave the unit in the previous state. This is standard for any modern software. I have inherited a 700 and am looking for experiences upgrading to the version 6 maps and software, and this is sounding really crazy. It appears that Magellan's software is an amateur effort, support is handled by the lowest bidder, and Magellan would rather get your cash now than keep you as a long term customer.
