Today, Garmin released a free, mandatory GPS software update to correct a software issue that has been discovered to cause select GPS devices to repeatedly attempt to update GPS firmware, and then either shut down or no longer acquire GPS satellite signals. The products affected are the nüvi 7×5 series, nüvi 800 series, nüvi 8×5 series, z?mo 660, GPSMAP 620 and GPSMAP 640.
Garmin nüvi 7×5 series products that are no longer able to acquire a
GPS satellite signal may download a firmware update immediately that
will correct the software issue. This firmware update may be downloaded
using Garmin’s WebUpdater.
Firmware updates for other affected products will be available online through Garmin’s WebUpdater in the near future. Affected customers who have registered their GPS device will be notified about these updates through email.
Garmin nüvi 7×5 customers who are no longer able to power on their GPS device will need to visit www.garmin.com/support, and select the first FAQ
titled “My nüvi 755T, 765T, 775T or 785T is giving me the message
‘Updating GPS Firmware’ or will no longer power on…” Customers will
then need to follow the instructions to request a return authorization
so that the device may be repaired under warranty.
We know our customers rely upon their Garmin GPS device(s), especially
during the summer travel season, and we regret any inconvenience this
situation may have caused. We are committed to developing products that
are known for their quality and reliability and will continue to work
diligently to earn the trust of our customers.

The guys at GPSMagazine recently took the nüvi 465T- Garmin’s first navigation device designed for the trucking industry - out for a test drive and have posted about their experiencefrom start to finish, calling it “the best GPS for truckers, hands down.” This device was built with the truck driver in mind and can navigate routes based on a truck’s type, load and physical restrictions. Customizable by height, weight, length, width and hazardous materials, this nüvi will provide specialized routing to support truck-related restrictions based on your vehicle profile. Simply enter dimensions and load restrictions and let the nüvi guide the way. According to the GPS Mag crew, ”trucking isn’t just an afterthought slapped on at the last minute; everything about the 465T reflects the well thought out needs of a truck driver.” We couldn’t agree more - especially because the nüvi 465T is the first navigation device to link locations in the National Truck and Trailer Services (NTTS) Breakdown directoryto its relevant point of interest content. Drivers can even enter multiple point routing for a more efficient route between multiple stops. Keep your eyes out for the 465Ts to land on store shelves soon, but in the meantime, check out the full review and our video for more information, screen shots and more!
