So I got my 765T around Xmas, but yesterday was the first day that I was in an area with traffic info.......So, now that it's been "activated," I'm getting the little banner ads, but the part that really sucks is that now that I'm home where I DON'T get any traffic info (I'm actually 2 hours away from any area that has traffic info coverage....), I still get the ads!!!???!! That just BLOWS! I don't mind (too much) getting the ads when I'm getting traffic info, but to not be in range of traffic info and still get the ads is just WRONG!
Anyone know a way to disable the ads???

I remember reading here about a file that could be deleted to get rid of the ads, but I can't remember the thread it was in...
Edit - Here ya go!
Korndogg27,
I found this on the web, I don't have the AD problem so I have no way to test it but it seems like it's worht a shot.
"I figured out a way to get rid of them with a little help from my good friends 'find' and 'strings'. If you mount the device and delete the file Garmin/Poi/ddb/RDS_LBA.ddb, you'll be ad-free. At least until the next time they update the firmware to disallow this."

Disable Traffic
Since you are outside the area covered by traffic, why not disable traffic? Go to "tools" "settings" "traffic" and uncheck the "enable traffic" check box. I don't know if this will stop the ads, but it's worth a try.

ADS
I usually notice when I go from an area with active traffic to an area without, when I stop I will have an ad. However, once I turn the unit off,the ads disappear.
