Garmin 560 LMT

Along the same line. I have noticed that disabling the traffic has stopped the "offer" pop ups.

 

Got one of these ordered before I left out...When I get home I will do some testing and update...

 

tested this one against a cobra 7750 this last week, after this and 3 trips into Canada, I took the cobra back, the graphics sucked, while the garmin still has some of the old garmain habits, still was the better unit for me.

 

I bought one of those 7750s off a youngster that ran out of money not long after they appeared on the shelves.

I don't think too much about it.

Several times it refused to route out of the truckstop I was in till I fiddled with the truck settings to make it "legal". There are a whole skew of other issues I have with it as well. Still in the truck here but I think it will eithor end up in storage or Ebay in the near future.

The two top competitors right now seem to be Garmin and Rand McNally. Cobra is long way from matching these two in imho.

I have a new 560 LMT. It has been pretty good so far about keeping me off of truck routes. It tried to send me through a neighborhood the other dau in Fort Worth TX to get to a consinee....I don't know why, but it just tried to take me through there like I was a car.

 

For Garmin Dezl users


If you have a 560 unit, Garmin has released a number of updates for this unit.
If you have not done so, you may want to look into doing the update.

It has a number of bug fixes and some new features as well as some performance tweaks.


Also, if your unit is less than 90 days from first satellite fix, you may be eligible for a free map update as well.

Garmin just released an updated map.

If you are eligible for the map update, I would suggest you be on a high speed connection.
My 10Mb line took 90 minutes to run the whole update.

 

Thanks express. I will probably update mine tonight when I get to TX.

 

anyone know where the 560 can be purchased in the store ?

 

What store? They sell them in all the truck stops, usually on display as soon as you walk in the door.
