I've had my 885T for 4 days. So far it has rebooted itself during routing once and froze once. I don't know why.

Latest firmware is installed.

I should have kept my 660. I was just on the phone for about an hour waiting when garmin hung up on me!

Freeze-ups

I have never had a problem with my 885T which was brought on-line 6/21. From other posts by other users they have traced similar hang-ups and problems to bad POI files that were downloaded with errors or installed wrong. Others have reported problems with MP3 files.

I would run all my POI files through a program such as Extra_POI_Editor or The Verifier and check them for problems and then reload.

Deleting all your POI is only half a fix. You have to verify the source file as well. Use EPE or Rt's The Verifier to be certain there are no bad records in the files before reloading.

885T working fine for me, apart from previous firmware issue in which most of us had to download to fix, there seems to be no other problems to report.

Webupdater VS My Dashboard

When I go to Webupdater it says that I am up to date, but when I went to My dashboard it said I had to update so I did. which one do i use or do i use both?

Stick with WebUpdater

myDashboard gives you no option to see what exactly is being updated, whether it's a simple voice update or a necessary firmware update. It just tells you something needs updating but never tells you what exactly has been "updated". WebUpdater at least shows you what needs to be updated and gives you the choice of updating (or not updating) the updates that are presented.

But if you send a private message to Retired Technician he may provide it again. It's on his son's web site.

The EULA prevents me from sending you a copy of my files.

885T Sent Back

Should have kept my 660, had to send my 885T to garmin after 1 week.

885T Freeze up

Its happens more often when I try to operate the unit like searching nearest restaurant while I am already driving to a destination as well as playing MP3 music. Think it lacks the processing power to support these features operating simultaneously.
