I have been meaning to contact the company about the one I bought last year. The attachment for the window went 1st. Now the power cord doesn't work.

I would make sure your GPS is not running all the time and you choose power save mode in your setting.

GPS does not even work properly, don't even consider it. Unless you only need it to work one time out of 3.

I have not gotten it to play music while I am using GPS. However, I didn't hook up all the extra wires either because the instructions suck! GPS map update? I don't know about updating GPS maps because the original seller should know this answer and they never respond. They always send us consumers questions to answer for others. Rear view camera at night? I don't know because first: I did not receive a camera from the seller even though they said that it was in the box and they lied to me. I bought my own camera and get this: There is a separate button you push to engage the rear view camera after you put it into reverse gear. Weird, right? What do you expect from non-US made products.

My 855 is also running the latest firmware, ver 4.7 from 12/28/2009, but still freezes. I have only owned Garmin's since my first GPS in 2003, but this is the first one with such severe freezing problems.

Go to: Tools > Settings > Language > Voices: Check the voice (there may be several) that has TTS (text-to-speech) after its name (or says, "speaks street names").The error messages sounds like a Garmin problem. Contact them by phone.

Hi Hasan, Dumb question, did you charge the cradle first? You can tell if it has a change by turning it to GPS and touching the button below it. If the blue lights come on you are good to go. If not, switch it to Battery and charge it for a few hours. This is not a BT device, so there is no need to search for it. You should be able to attach your touch to it, turn it to GPS, and then launch your GPS software. I had one for my 4th gen touch and it worked great with the Garmin driving software... until iOS6 came out. Once I upgraded to iOS6, it wouldn't work. I got frustrated with it, and since I was due for a new phone, I went Android with a built in GPS. I really think that iOS is the issue, as mine was great until then. But like I said, I gave up after playing with it for about 3 hours. I suggest you contact Dual if nothing else works. James

That's a real bummer, Christophe. Have you tried rebooting? You do this by sliding the on/off switch to the on position and holding it there for 15 to 20 seconds. If that fails, then it's off to Garmin. I wish you the best of luck.

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.

First thing you need to do is make sure that the GPS you have will be able to sit in the unit and connect to power. In my case, the unit blocked all access to the power cord.

Hi Bennie: I have been using Garmin GPS's for quite a few years and have never had such a problem. Call Garmin Customer Service and they will answer your problem. Good Luck

The same thing happened to me. I actually called Garmin about this and was told by one of their "technical" people that the receivers can actually wear out and will no longer function. Since the cord also serves as the "power cord" for the unit itself, the GPS will continue to work just fine. You can do a couple of things to remedy the problem: 1) buy a whole new GPS, which Garmin would LOVE you to do, or 2) you can buy a replacement cord/receiver from Garmin ($59.99) or any of a number of vendors on Amazon. I purchased a used one from a vendor and it is working just fine! Hope this helps ... The same thing happened to me.

Go to tomtom home and do a backup first. Then remove all voices except the computer one. That the one that speaks street names. Then go to update my device and update the software first. Then update the maps. Then you will be fine. Follow these steps and you will have no problems.
