Free Weather Alert on Nuvi 780??

I never activated my traffic Receiver on my 660 but it was working..and has only a month left..and I have only seen it work once. So it may be working...

My 760 does it. I do have MSN, as well.

Did you actually subscribe to MSN Direct? My 780 came with a free 3-month subscription, but I must call the provided phone number to activate it, which I have not done. Sure enough, when I tap on the MSN Direct icon on my nuvi screen, it says that my subscription has not been activated. So the mystery continues.

But now I am wondering if I received the weather alert via the data link on my cell phone and the bluetooth connection between the phone and the GPS.

Thanks for your input....

When I tap on the MSN Direct icon on my nuvi screen, I get the message that my subscription has not been activated. So maybe I'm getting it free (sure), or maybe the weather alert came in via my cell phone data link and it's connection to the GPS via bluetooth.

Anyway, it was nice to get the alert, regardless of how.

Thanks for your input....

Don't know. From what I could find, if you don't activate your MSN, maybe you will get the Weather alert icon, but won't have access to the actual MSN icons (Weather, Movies, MSN Traffic alerts, etc.)

While Bluetooth is capable of data transfer between devices - it only does hands-free audio with GPSrs, and I'm not aware of any cell phones capable of doing data at this level either.
