Garmin & 5800? A few of the 5800 reviews say that the Garmin Mobile GPS is the way to go but the 5800 is not on Garmin's compatibility list. Anyone running XT on the 5800?

The latest version of Garmin Mobile XT works on the 5800, but there are still a few glitches that need to be worked out (it is usable, though).

I have been using 910 XT indor swimming for more than 2 months. No problem mesuring lenghts although sometimes it is not absolutelly accurate mainly when mixing styles. I have not payed attention to the GPS due to I am indoor and I guess it is no needed

Our maps are compatible with Garmin manufactured GPS devices only. Sorry. ~GPSTravelMaps.

I don't know about the 1300 model, but I emailed the Garmin customer service folks and they were pretty responsive. The one thing I wish they had mentioned early on is that in order to update maps, I needed a microcable that plugged directly into the GPS unit, and not the cradle. So you may want to verify that with Garmin.

I've been looking to use it with my HTC6900 (touch), Garmin says we need to be sure to get the "Mobile 10x" and not the "Mobile 10", also make sure that it comes with software - I found this is not the case with Amazon. - BTW - I hear that Sprint just released a ROM update for your phone, unlocking your phone's internal GPS unit. If you're still in the market, you should look into this.

I am thinking about purchasing one and have looked at many reviews for all Garmin GPS's. My main concern is that I want the bluetooth since the law about using hands free to talk on your cell phone starts next month. I have come to find out that you can get the C550 street pilot for a lot cheaper then any of the Nuvis with bluetooth. The only bad thing ive found is the street pilot is a bit bulkier, but if I am going to save $200, I dont mind the bulk...think im gonna go with the street pilot C550.

I was trying to choose between the same two. However, with the recent price break on the TT it is a no brainer. The two are both good basic GPS's without any frills. Both have comparable maps. I do believe that the TT is more configurable and the "planned / advanced routing feature" of the TT is great. The only benefit that the Garmin provides is better battery life. However, I will always be using this with a power cord anyhow so it really doesn't matter.

Looks like a tablet is in your future. Garmin doesn't make one, but everybody else does! lol

I changed my opinion and bought the Magellan 1470, returned it, and bought the 755T. Look for my review on the 1470...Functionality over Usability. Annoyed me very much.So far VERY happy with the 755T, however, I'm about to go on a make it or break it trip with it. Not far but it will test the traffic capabilities. If I don't like the traffic the 755T will go back to Amazon and I may go back to the idea of the 760. However I'm so far very impressed with the 755T, as I should be given the price point.

I considered the 1490, but I don't need the bluetooth or traffic. I ended up buying the nuvi 865T and am happy with it. Some problems getting updates on the Garmin website. Also POI's were available for download on my old 265 e.g. Kauai, but none for the 800 series.

Thanks Darth. I detected the problem while trying to use GPS. GPS was not able to find my position and prompted me to go online thru Options. That is when I realized that 5800 is not able to connect to ATT Internet. I think I confused ATT Internet with MediaNet.

I don't know, but I doubt it. I don't think updating fits Garmin's business model for those things - I think they like to sell you a new one.

I keep reading and researching and just can't decide which way to go. I have an old Garmin. I want Blue tooth with traffic. Lane change would help me a lot; I have a bad sense of direction and I need the best GPS to help me "get there!" Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you. Sounds good. Now I want to find it in combo with the NuMaps Lifetime. Nuvi combo have the NuMaps Lifetime for $50 extra, but I can't find this with a combo yet.----------------Garmin said the one with lifetime update for maps (3790LMT) would be out in September, keep checking their website. Said the cost was $499.99. I hate to spend that money, but am getting the voice activated one for safety reasons. Said it was shipped to Best Buy, but I can find it only in Canada...

Free Thinker - while I appreciated the details on the Droid, I find it totally unfair for you to pan Garmin and Seattle City Xplorer based on your comparing it with Droid and Google (Local Search, I'm assuming.) I don't know what Garmin unit you returned, and it's probably irrelevant - since Garmin is PRIMARILY for navigating while DRIVING. And, does this support the old adage 'You get what you pay for???' BIG difference in pricing - Garmin vs. Droid, and City Xplorer ($10 ONE TIME) vs. $70/mo. for 2 yrs (= $1680.) You're not comparing apples to apples.

Any app that requires GPS will work. No problem using it with the native Maps app or Google Maps. Pls note that I had problems with this particular device and replaced it with the Dual Electronics XGPS 150 which works well.

I am considering the same thing. I bought the TomTom and have not been able to get it working - the operating software seems to have only partially loaded. I spent 3 hours on the phone with their customer service - very nice people, but they have no technical knowledge, they can only read to you from a script. I think I am going to return this one and give the Garmin a try.
