RE: Rod: Can you answer this question about Garmin nuvi 3790T 4.3-Inch...? Roderick Ferguson 11:36 AM To: "Amazon Answers" &lt;answers@amazon.com&gt; Your best bet is to google Garmin and ask them. They might be able to download the Aussie stuff for you over the internet. These things are getting cheaper every day, so you might have to make your case with Garmin and have them send you a "sympathy" GPS at a super low price as an apology to their of global flexibility.

According to the Garmin website, it is compatable. Click on this link for the France, Benelux map: https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/maps/on-the-road-maps/city-navigator-nt/city-navigator-europe-nt-benelux-france/prod11488.html and you can check compatability. Look at the sides of your Garmin and it should have a slot for a micro SD card.

Call Garmin again ... and again. Not everyone in support knows what they are talking about. Their guarantee states you have 60 days for the latest maps. Also note that Garmin has been messing up lately with these upgrades (not sure why).Just a note on the maps. There is nothing "magical" about new maps -- they may or may not make much difference in many areas of the country. I know people who have had a Garmin for several years and never updated the maps. And just because it says the maps are "new", doesn't mean they won't have missing roads or errors.

I will definitely recommend Nuvi 370 over 270 because of several reasons. Text to speech is definitely very helpful believe me I have a Nuvi 200 which doesnot speak street names, which is sometimes very frustrating. I have missed turns which were very close to each other. Name of the street while driving in busy streets is surely very helpful. This would be even more helpful especially in Europe. Other features are worth the extra $70-$80. Live traffic, Bluetooth are amongst them. I will be buying 370 for my Europe trip pretty soon, just looking for the good price.

I have the same question. Garmin's version is 2013.10. Some reviews here were complaining about the maps being out of date. Could this be the reason this one is so cheap?

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.

Just (recently) bought the 335T and I have had no problem acquiring satellite signal with this unit. In fact, that was one of my prime motivations to switch from my old Garmin Nuvi 350. I was having a lot of problems with just that issue. My two major complaints about the TomTom vs. the Garmin are: (1) You can't spell out a specific point of interest) like a Chili's restaraunt, for instance, which you can do with the Garmin. This was a MAJOR plus with my old unit and I used it all the time. Of course, it's possible that I just haven't firgured out how to do it yet, because, (2) the TomTom has very poor user documentation. I'm going to have to go online to try and figure some of the functionality out.

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.

That's a tough question. The Amazon page doesn't list it, but the Garmin power cord offered by the manufacturer for your device is also compatible with the nuvi 1370 (according to Garmin), and this device is claimed to be compatible with the 1370. so I would say YES! All of the nuvi series use a 5 volt power supply (which this unit has), so the only compatibility issue is if the mini-USB connector is the same size. This certainly seems to be the case here. Incidentally, you do realize that your traffic warnings won't work with this cable, right? The traffic part requires a special power cord with a receiver built in. Nonetheless, I use this cord with my 1450 for most of the driving I do, since the traffic is not usually an issue. Using this cord saves wear & tear on the 70 buck traffic cord, which I only use for long trips into unfamiliar territory. So, order this - I think it's a safe gamble if you want a basic power cord. (I'm an electronic technician with 45 years experience, so I am rather informed about the issues here.)

dsrussell; do you think that there might be to many issues with the the nuvi 255w right now? The ( system software missing ) occurance seems to seems to be showing up more and more on these units. Thanks in advance any thoughts you have on this issue.

The Garmin Nuvi 2797LMT will work great in France. European Maps do not come with this unit but they can be downloaded to the unit from the Garmin Website. Garmin offers 10 different maps for Europe and a street map for France will cost $69.99.

Indeed pedestrian mode in Garmin (255w) never works well, but I never had a problem with my 255w while driving in Italy. I have been trying to find out if the newer models are any better than an older one I have - 255w - and which still serves me well, including in Europe. My main issues with 255w are:1). it takes up to 15 min to locate a satellite 2). if a planned road is closed (due to an unexpected repair, etc) it is impossible to make 255w make another route.I wonder if this new model would have improvement over these issues. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! Indeed pedestrian mode in Garmin (255w) never works well, but I never had a problem with my 255w while driving in Italy.

I don't have the nunvi 205w mine is the 1370 but I really think that if it fits in my nuvi it really should fit in yours. This is great if your going to Ireland. I know my way around most of England and didn't need to use it that much. When I did use it, at times it wasn't very clear. But never the less it beats asking two guys in a pub and getting different directions!

let see - one can not test all things in 30 days and in winter season cant travel much for testing.I think this model is now 1 yr old and not sure how long it will continue and may be price is down to clear out the stock.not sure if specific lot of product has got many issues or overall it is.http://www.gpsmagazine.com/2009/08/garmin_nuvi_1490t_review.phpnot sure if life time map i can use with any other garmin unit and not specific to one unit.

I used this card in a Nuvi 3590. I have to admit that when I returned to my country of residence, the 3590 no longer wanted to give me turn-by-turn street name voice prompts. A short upload from the Garmin site and it was fixed again. The nuvi 500 is a smaller and more rugged unit than the 3590 and has the additional micro simcard slot which is pretty standard today. There's absolutely no reason why the card shouldn't work. Beware, though, the version that I got sent had a few glitches, where we drove roads which though completed about 2 years ago, were not yet on the card and the GPS got a bit confused. But 98% was OK.

Hi,my nuvi 1300 has not recieved any satalite reception in the last 4days.I've turn it off/on many times a day. I don't know what to do. One web site said to do a hard reset. A couple times it said I'm due for map update. Should your nuv1300 still operate with out a update? Can't afford right now . I bought it at cash America pawn shop.unit malfunction started 10 days after 30 day return.
