No sound from new 760 I received 760 five days ago from Amazon.It works very well. Graphics are accurate and fast. This is my first GPS experience.Only problem is that there is no audible sound from this unit. Does it supposed to provide "spoken instructions" ? Is this one is defective? or I do not know how to use it? How to set (or program) to make the speaker work? Please help.

Tools>Settings>Language>voice. Make sure you have one selected. American Jill or Australian Karen have good TTS.

My Nuvi 760 reverts to no voice quite often. This is more than annoying. It requires restoring to default many, many times before it finally reappears. Now, why does this POS even have that option???? EVERYBODY needs the voice! However, if some human being does not for some reason that is what the MUTE BUTTON is for! I will NEVER BUY ANOTHER GARMIN their designers are idiots!

Mr Keh, I bricked my unit as well years ago with your update, and I assure you I followed the procedure to the letter and did not have any power glitch during the update. The update system and product is clearly faulty. But, two years ago, when I had the issue, I simply purchased a Garmin unit, and I have warned dozens of people away from Magellan products ever since.

I am going to Italy and bought the 1370T. I planned to use in pedestrian mode as well as for driving. I've tested it several times in pedestrian mode in a couple of different locations and it failed every time. Sent me in the opposite direction, missed turns, and doesn't recalculate on it's own. You have to go back to the main screen and do it manually. I don't know - maybe I got a lemon. I'm leaving in less than 2 weeks. I'll either return it and try another unit or hope it works better in driving mode. I was looking at the Tom Tom XLL, which also has European maps preloaded, but it gets mixed reviews as well. Seems a perfect GPS is yet to be created. I am going to Italy and bought the 1370T. I planned to use in pedestrian mode as well as for driving.

I have the same issue but one thing I discovered quite by accident is that if you put in an address first and then play music the navigation voice will continue to provide instructions (music will mute while navigation voice speaks). Either way this is a definite "con" for the system that has disappointed me as well

As far as I know, it is not audible but it changes color when you go over that limit. ,I do not use that function often. I choose to use "TIME OF ARRIVAL" at that position. To get a answer from Garmin, you can call them at 800 800 1020. All I know is that I have used almost all brands of GPS, and the Garmin RV 760 LMT is far superior to anything else out there with the information you need, and not just a bunch of fluff.

C,Does the CD player & radio have sound? If they do have sound, maybe u should call Panasnic. It seems like more than just a firmware update.

Hi Liz I returned 2 of them. The first one the cd did not work then the next nothing worked. Im sorry to tell you but you do need to return it. Also if you use the recordplayer and it has the scratches and on the cd it will sound just like that. It sounds tinny. So Sorry to tell you this but i had no luck with it. 2sassyjay@comcast.net

J. Jones, Sorry I didn't reply to this eariler.... but did you BUILD the computer yourself? If so did you attach the proper cable from the sound card to the video card to get the sound TO the video card? And if you did, DID you connect it properly? If you didn't build it yourself, did you crack open the case to see if the manufacturer installed thecable and did it properly, AND that it did not come loose in shipping? It's an internal cable, check your manuals. And check the cable itself if all else fails. It may be you've got a bad one.

Typically, you update the unit for free once after purchase so they should be completely up to date. My best advice is to use the unit out of the box first without updates. It should have some maps in it and work, even if all roads aren't current. If it works as advertised, go ahead and update your U.S. maps right away then update the European maps about a month before your trip. If it doesn't work out of the box, return it and get a new unit right away. Some of the units have problems, it's best to get rid of the lemons immediately rather than try to fix them (I had this problem with a TomTom, once I sent it in for repairs - and they sent me a different unit back - I could no longer get a refund.

Petersen:Try e-mailing tech support instead.I e-mailed tech support (techsupp@garmin.com) instead of product support and have been told I'm in the order que, at no charge, for the DVD of the new v. 2008 maps when the DVD is released. I explained my situation and asked if they could help me out, as the v. 2008 is now really the "current" version, and they did. (I received my unit about a week ago from Amazon with the old maps; the new version was already being shipped to some customers at that time.)

Amen to the bell sound turn indicator.It is dead on one of the handiest features on any gps unit.All others should provide this feature.When the unit dings,you are exactly at your turn.

Like everyone else I didn't receive up instruction manual either. Does anyone know what the "sound" button is for or how to use it. Thanks

Max,I got a new HT via A,azion.com and it came from Radio mart in KY. Just way to many of you are worried about the newest version. My newest version is a 5RA and it has the 2nd to the last firmware.But that means nothing at all. All you need to know is here. http://www.miklor.com/ Please join the list but those guys will just tell you to read up in the files.I like mine,it has a siren,the case is beautiful but it has it's quirks. Guys are downloading software but I did mine manually. Some need WIN XP and others using VISTA need to download an updated driver. PLEASE DO NOT WORRY ABOUT LATEST FIRMWARE as i may only be a restriction on what you can or can't do out of the ham bands. I called this pure junk because it is hard to manually program it and at timed I'm in FREQ mode and it jumps into memory mode. Keep in mind that the mailing list is very,very large and many still do not have a TECH license. Use it as it was intended for and don't try making a queen mary from a canoe. Many are still using the very first unit and have no problems http://www.409shop.com/shop_displaynews.php?id=608&userid=100556 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/baofeng_uv5r/ These links will help BOB AF2Q

The unit linked to appears to be new. I purchased a refurb that proved not to work, and on the second go-round purchased new. The improvement over my old unit (Harmony 800--I think) was stunning. Nearly all of the things on the old unit that drove me b@tSh#t had been fixed. It really is a sweet unit.

My sons was doing the same exact thing. Never saved the date nor time, always prompted for it. Also, about 7/10 times you selected the cartridge to play it would give the messed up audio thing. I just hooked it up to the PC, connected to the software (Learning Lodge Navigator). From the home screen, bottom left hand side there is a tab that states "Update My Innotab" Follow those steps and it will update the firmware for the device. Since I have done this, ive turned it on and off about 15 times, started the cart each time, removed the batteries (not the back up one). It has yet to ask me for the date or time and has not made the noise either.Hope this helps! My sons was doing the same exact thing. Never saved the date nor time, always prompted for it.

Me, too 1005HA, but mine last almost two years before the earphone jack gave out. Now all I hear with earphones is the secondary track . . .music, soundeffects, harmonies. BUT NO DIALOGUE. Ugh. Going to check out the sound card idea. Before the warranty ran out I called the service and they told me to reinstall the system. What? Then the warranty ended. So now, onto sound car shopping. This thing is worth $175 now according Amazon and I neeeeeeed this netbook to get lots of stuff done this fall!
