Garmin n&uuml;vi 1370 or Garmin n&uuml;vi 275? Can someone please advise?

You can read reviews on 1370 Garmin nuvi, people speak of generally positive experience. I just bought it and although it did have European maps, I don't know what exact countries it had - I decided to use the free Europe map update download to get it up-to-date. What I found is that it does not have sufficient memory to hold the whole Europe map! So you can either chose your countries (they have Italy + Greece), and add others - I was not interested in Balkans since I go to Italy, but I think they had coverage of whole Europe except for Russia, so they certainly had Croatia, Bulgaria and other Balkan countries. If Garmin covers those, it should work there just fine. You can try to enter some address there from here to save them in Favorites - some hotel where you will be staying, etc, and see if it finds it. That would give you an indication if your device has the coverage of your country of destination. I did that with all my Italian hotels now, 2 weeks in advance of my voyage, and it feels reassuring :) You could visit their site http://www.garmin.com/us/ and read more, and register your device. Then it will know what you have and will prompt you for maps/accessories. Bon voyage! Anna

How about the 885 without MSN Direct, and adding the GTM 20, which gives Navtec fm traffic? That's what I'm considering doing. Might want to call Garmin to see if this option will give you what you want. If you do, would you report back? Yes. 855 is the one i mean. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks, Vanessa :)I followed your instruction, and voila, City Navigator North America NT 2008 is what I got.I ordered the Garmin Nuvi 650 from Amazon at $306.00 on Dec. 26, 2007, the unit arrived on Dec. 28.

Thanks for the input, I actually kept the original Garmin. I realized it couldn't recognize my position re: the street because my house is 1000 ft off the road. I actually like it a lot. It does quirky things like take me to the highway one way and bring me home another even though the streets are not one way. At this point, I'm glad I got it.

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 would suggest that you contact Garmin technical support and ask that same question to be sure your unit will support it - I have an older model Garmin nuvi and the last update I downloaded required me to put a memory card in to hold the amount of data - it was cheap enough - but something to consider is whether your unit will support current and future map updates & downloads - if your unit will support this lifetime maps update, go for it - great deal

This one right here is a good bet - the nuvi 1350T, however if you do not want or need traffic updates then go with the nuvi 1350 or 1300

I wondered about that too .. although I'd trust Garmin's website and other 3rd party discussion sites ... the ?70 units are built to contain maps for both continents, and the ?80 are the first one's with MSN Direct.Perhaps there'll be a future ?90 (390/690) range that combines the two sets of new features? :)For now, I'm just wondering whether tot ake the plunge with the 660 and its FMt raffic/preloaded POIs, or wait for the MSN-direct 680 to be released (April?)!

Go with the Legend Hcx, I know it's more money but the Micro Sd card slot makes a HUGE difference in the maps you can do. I own the the Venture Cx(NOT THE HC) and I have a 2gb micro sd card with streetmaps and Topo for the entire US on the card.The letters in garmin speak mean this H= High Sensitivity, C=Color and X= external Memory card support.If you want to save 20 or 30 bucks go with the one I was saying the Venture Cx, but I bought my unit over a year ago, when the High sensitivity units weren't available, Today without a doubt I'd go with the Legend Hcx(they don't make a Venture Hcx just a severely limited HC. You are also going to need either Street maps or Topo(for hiking) so figure on an extra $125 or so or look online for free options, hope I helped you.

I have had my Garmin Nuvi 1370T for the past four years, and have used it extensively in Europe, always with great satisfaction. It is supplied with the programming for Europe. Encourage you to buy one soon, as it has been replaced by another model which costs $495., even from Amazon.

For me the 66LMT, as i like the larger screen. I'm not familiar with the 2555lmt other than a quick check. If screen size is not a deal breaker than open up two windows and go line by line on features either here on Amazon or Garmin's site and decide what is most important to you.

I would say if you are happy with the TT, why bother going thru all the steps to return it. If you haven;t used the TT yet then I probably would go with the Garmin since you already are familiar with it.

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?

FYI: I ordered a Garmin 660 and received it today. When I registered the product, it offered me a free download of 2009 maps, which I am presently downloading (takes a long time, even with a fast connection).

It apparently is not the correct memory card for the Nuvi 1370. I found one searching the Web called: "BLANK 8GB SD SD-HC Memory Card for Garmin Nuvi 1370 1370T 1490 1450LM 1450T GPS." It looks different. You'll need to search the Web for "garmin nuvi 1370t memory card". Amazon won't let me post the URL.
