Nice.

I really like the voice activation feature. Too bad it is so expensive but with this new model coming out, maybe the 775t prices will be going down.

Bummer! I just got a Nuvi

Bummer! I just got a Nuvi 880 two weeks ago and it's already discontinued. Hmmm, was that a reason for the discounted prices? Do the Garmin dealers get advanced notice when G is ready to drop the hatchet on a model?

And just found the 880 is discontinued. Well, I'd stick with my discontinued (3 generations now) 680. My, it is hard to keep up with technology!
When I see discounted prices, I know another generation of devices is on the way.

thats was fast and sad

that was fast and sad

New 8xx Nuvi Series

I notice that the new 8xxt model do NOT have the 3D buildings view.

And they also hold less POI's than the 7x5t series.

So you pick up voice commands but lose other thengs on the units.

880 Nuvi Discontinued

No wonder I have been find so many good prices. Granted that it is still a good unit, but it seems like Garmin keeps adding a new function or two to a new series, peaks everyone desire for it and goes back to the upper price tier again. It is just a sales game. However, still love my Garmins and always will.

JG - Nuvi 2460

I have a Nuvi 660 with the old maps. Not really wanting to upgrade to the new ones I've decided to buy a 865T.
However garmin dont want to tell me when it is available in the UK.
Does anyone know when its coming over? Maplin have it listed on their website, at £399.99, but no idea when its arriving.
BtW a main reason for wanting it is the facility to use waypoints. Having used iQue before the 660 it really hacks me off only being able to put 1 waypoint in.

Have you tried: http://www.garmin.com/garmin/cms/site/uk/wheretobuyautomotiv... ?

They have a listing of places that are supposed to sell the 865T in the UK.

Otherwise, it will probably be there shortly. I can't see it's for sale in the US yet. The 885T at US Amazon says it will be released on February 29.
