Hi, I went for this as it seems a good deal and with the lifetime maps makes it cheaper than the next range down.

http://www.garmin.com/garmin/cms/site/uk/offer800

Registered it, downloaded new maps but can see no indication I have lifetime maps?

Gadget seems to work, voice sometimes is male, sometimes female?, keeps a track you can view in mapsource (installed with the map update on your pc) and has stereo speakers built in.

Have you driven with your 865 yet? The Nuvi needs to record that it has been used over 30mph and it will generate an iFix no. which Garmin use to determine the date and time or First Fix.

I registered my Nuvi before driving and Garmin couldn't tell when it was first used but their Tech Support sorted within a few mins - had to email a copy of the receipt

You could be correct...
In "My Garmin" it says

Product Name: nüvi® 865T
Registration Date: Feb 13, 2009
Serial Number: 1LKxxxxxx
Registration Code: F8xxxxxx
First Satellite Acquired: Feb 14, 2009


So I registered it before its first fix.

To be safe I will log a support call
