765T - Anyone here got one?

Darren · Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2008 11:59 am Post subject: 765T - Anyone here got one?

I'm testing a 765T at the moment, I'm having a few issues and wanted to see if other owners have the same problems?

Is there any other UK owner of a 765 here?

Haven't got one but can we non-765 owners know what the problems are....?

I'm not saying they are problems per se but they are observations Smile

The major issue for me is the screen re-draw. I haven't managed to capture a screen-shot but what happens regularly is you will be travelling along a road which continues ahead but it is shown on screen as a cul-de-sac.

Only when you approach the end of the road as drawn does it complete and draw the road ahead. I've Photoshopped a screen-shot to give an idea of what I'm trying to describe:

The other issue is TMC. I have not yet managed to get any signal at all. The TMC Settings page just shows it as tuning. AIUI I will only see a Licence for TMC once it has successfully tuned in the UK? Currently I see a Licence for US Traffic?

It's labelled GTM 21, there are two LED's on the cigarette lighter plug but so far I have only seen the Green Power one lit.

I have had a Nuvi 765 for 2 weeks now and haven't had any of the problems you refer to.

The traffic works as well as on the Nuvi 760 - ie not full UK but variable coverage.

The screen redraw is fine but the only bug I have experienced so far is that the system sometimes shuts down without any warning at all.

I'll check the LED status tomorrow, TBH I don't recall if the Red LED was lit or not Embarassed

Webupdater did provide a firmware update for the unit when I first received it.

The screen re-draw has happened at a number of locations but I'm paying closer attention now so will document it and the locations that it occurs in and see if there is a pattern.

traffic info still working fine for me.

Copy of system settings about screen

Screenshots of map display and traffic interface

Screenshots of the new ALG - this works very well on M25, M1,M6 and M42

Traffic map displays a grey shaded background

Normal navigational map at similar location

ran webupdater this morning and apart from offering me a Blue Sports car and a Danish voice there was no firmware upgrade.

Presumably 2.31 beta is a test version supplied direct from Garmin rather than via public release - mine was purchased from Halfords.

Indeed, I don't even see the 765 in the list of available updates over at Garmin so no option for me to revert to the non-Beta release.

I posted some screen-shots in another thread to show TomTom users how much better Garmin's Lane-Assist was:
