I recently took a trip to Los Angeles with this unit and had to drive the freeway system extensively. I have updated my map database since I bought it about two years ago. I was very disappointed with the number of direction errors. For example many times we would come to a change in freeway with either a north or south option presenting. The first announcements would say take 205 North to El Segundo, [with the other choice being 205 South to Long Beach for example] and then once on exit fork and in lane to go to El Segundo it says bear right to I 405 Long Beach. I could not do that too late,because I was already on the other ramp, so I would miss the exit and go off the wrong way. Thie happened repeatedly.

Another example was Bear right on I 405 North to Long Beach. The signs are saying the exit is I 405 South to Long Beach. 405 North to Santa Monica. Which is it, North or South or Long Beach or Santa Monica?? I choose to go towards Long Beach and when I get on the freeway it suddenly becomes identified correctly as I 405 South to Long Beach.

This happened all the time, and to me was frankly dangerous, and really got me lost more than once because the directions were incorrect.
All the more disappointing that I have an updated map database.

How did you manage to pair your u410 with the 760? I can’t seem to get it to go.

Thanks,

Chad

In most cases new roads seem to make it into new maps within a couple of years, however I’ve also seen (in rare cases) roads missing for over a decade.

Just bought a refurb 770. I like it very much except for the fact that it does not give you an attention tone when it is time for you to make your turn. For example, the voice will announce “Turn right in 500 ft…approaching so and so street” but when it is time for you to make the turn it does not give you a “bong” or a “bell” sound indicating that you need to turn then. Is there a setting that I can change so that I can get this feature?

I drove in Miami, FL and missed many a turn because of the missing feature.

Please help me out with this. I still have a few days left to exchange the 770 for a similar model which has the attention tone feature if there are no setting changes that can give me this feature in the 770.

Thanks. I hope you can answer me soon.

Have been using Garmin for the last 5 years and no problems out of the customer service. They have been great!

I have purchased 3 garmin products and in general have liked the products. After having my Garmin 680 for about 18 months I purchased (just recently) the lifetime subscription to MAPS to update the maps – that is a joke. My Garmin started to experience issues with the touch screen a few weeks ago and finally would not work at all. I bought another Garmin thinking I would be able to transfer my subscription from a honerable company right? WRONG. I bought this lifetime subscription just a few months ago and they will not honor the subsciption.

DO NOT BUY GARMIN OR FOR SURE NOT THE SUBSCRIPTION (LIFETIME)

I purchased a refurbed 760 in late June just prior to a lengthy roadtrip and have nothing but praise for this unit (although, admittedly, this is my FIRST unit!)

I do have one question, however…how can I get the loaded MP3’s to list in a truly alphabetical order? I currently have about 2200 songs on there and when shuffle is turned off, it puts the songs in some unknown order and I cant figure out the logic in order to get them to sort properly. Any suggestions?
