Update for Nuvi 7xx

 

My friend at Garmin has informed me that the update will be posted in the next 24 to 72 hours.

Addressing

Did your friend mention what this update would address? I think most people are assuming the voice lag issues are a priority.

760

what i have been told from level 2 software support. manager is that it will cure a host of issues from the voice lag, to minor freezes, to slight improvements in boot time and map lag, but i will be surprised if it gets out this week, as of friday they were having major issues with the firmware, i have been told it will be out this month should be out in a couple of weeks from friday, if all goes well, they were having issues with the lag, in certian voices that was one big issue friday, and on some certian chip sets the map freeze was way bad! so we will see!!

Everyday is a GREAT day :)

Good info

Thanks for the info! It sounds like this firmware is going through in house testing and hopefully it won't be released until it is ready. I'd rather wait for the update to go through rigorous testing and quality control than to get it quickly.

Garmin will release it when it's ready...

...and hopefully bug-free. There are too many conflicting reports about release dates. I would rather wait & have it bug-free (or at least as close as possible) than for it to be released before it's thoroughly tested. This is where Garmin shot themselves in the foot in the last two releases. Hopefully they have learned by this...

It will be out when it's out.
