question please regarding 755T

 

Hi, I'm happy to find this forum and look forward to being a member. I love forums!
I ordered the 755T but unfortunately did not notice the statement below until after ordering;
"Like most USB mass storage devices, the nüvi is not compatible with Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows Me."

I use windows ME 2002 and don't understand why it would be a problem with the nuvi. I have used other USB devices with no problem and in fact have updated my Lowrance IWAY with the system. Can anyone enlighten me? Hmm, return the unit or get a new OS? Always something!

Garmin didn't write drivers

Garmin didn't write drivers for their software - and you have to use their software - that loads POI and does file updates. Time to spring for a new OS.

thanks for your reply

it makes sense. And, BTW, I certainly agree with your sig.

Update the OS

I have a 755T and I love it! Spend a few bucks at a computer shop and buy an OS upgrade. Have fun!
