My Garmin is a 755 I do not see a T on the unit, is there a difference?

The T refers to "traffic". I was told it was not necessary to have the "traffic" portion of the GPS. and my charger works great.

Looks to me like they're pushing Nuvis. Type garmin in google and go to the manufacturer's site. You can compare 4 side by side at a time.

Please read my earlier post which explains why your unit is the 265WT if you received the FM traffic receiver cord with your device. When I turn on my garmin it shows 265W but it becomes the 265WT when the FM traffic cord is attached to the GPS.

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.

I have a Garmin 255W and a TomTom XL340S. I am giving my daughter the Garmin and keeping the TomTom. Both are great units but the TomTom blows away the Garmin with useful features. The Garmin's voice is better as the TT has ploblems with Spanish street names. If I were to choose I would choose the TT but the Garmin is very good so whatever you choose, you will be happy.

AFAIK, all Garmin models allow you to use several different languages (including Cantonese, Mandarin Taiwan and Mandarin Chinese). Unfortunately, these aren't available in TTS (text-to-speech) mode. You can find these different languages under: Tools / Settings / Language / Voice.

Thank you so much for your replies. I would have never figured it out on my own and would have had to call Garmin for help!!!! Thanks again.

Don't know. Suggest you contact Garmin via telephone or use their web site.

The T stands for traffic. Everything is the same on both except the power cable. The "T" cable has a big lump in it for the traffic receiver and cost a lot more. The mount is the same.

I don't know but send a message to Garmin: they were very helpful to me. The "screen" is in color and very easy to read......The "voice" is clear most of the time.. I have noticed a few bad enunciations.

I bought the garmin nuvi 265t a couple of days from tigerdirect.com for $179 on sale. This is the same price as the nuvi 255 at amazon . If i don't like the free time traffic alert, I will just buy a vehicle power cable for $25 and use it instead of the GTM 25

No, it's probably not defective...1) Voice with Text-To-Speech (TTS): under Settings, go to Language, then click a choice for Voice -- make sure it's someone with English (e.g. American English-Jack) who also has the "(TTS)" tag. This will enable speech with street names.2) Exchange rates: you should update the rates manually. I suspect the exchange rates weren't a big priority for the Garmin folks.For more help with questions, the GPS itself has a Help button (next to Settings) that should answer some basic issues.Hope this is helpful.

I think that it's not OK that all it says on the box is "free traffic" instead of "free traffic with ads." I don't quite feel fully-informed by Garmin. I'm thinking seriously about returning my unit just because I don't like being treated like that.

I do not know. The only thing you would not have though is the verbal instructions but the visual (which are great) would not change. Numerically it can be set to metric measurements if that would help. Perhaps the Garmin site could give you a better answer.

I'm sorry I don't know that. You could call Garmin. I am really happy with mine.

I am not sure. I bought this when I bought the garmin, & it said "people who bought this have bought this also". Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
