After the fiasco with that useless bloody Tomtom thing ( see notes below ) I thought I would revisit my Nuvi 760 to see if there was something I could do to improve the screen updates
Visited the garmin site and started trolling through .. Unlike Tomtom, Garmin are very customer focused and within a short time I had sussed out what had happened and I THINK ( untested yet ) cured it.
It was then I noticed the big red warning sign !!
The Nuvi 7xx and a few other units have been subject to a recall due to a possible exploding battery problem !! oh:
Fortunately Garmin pay for carriage back to them and promise a quick turn around, so all should be sorted out within the next 7 to 10 days max ( spoke to someone this morning who reckoned 5 days is more realistic at the moment )
Sooooooooooooo
If you have a Garmin bought within the last 18 months I would suggest you pop along to the Garmin site and check your model and serial number..
I think an exploding GPS attached to your windscreen may well be quite spectacular but something of a pain in the bum long term ! LOL !!!
Notes re Tomtom
( see thread re warning about the Go 1000 Live and the major issues it has )
( and thank you JJ for helping me out with that one.. greatly appreciated and a pint on me when next we meet !! )
