nuvi 760, nuvi 765T, nuvi 855, nuvi 3790LMT, nuvi 3490LMT - SoCal area
My 260W is recalled
Just received the email response to my submission to Garmin. The return address label goes to El Paso, TX. "Escoto Brokers"
I am thinking that this would be a great scam, tell people that their device has been recalled, send them a shipping label, and then disappear with all the returned items
Too bad that Garmin is not feeling guilty enough to offer a free map update with the new battery.
Especially since my Garmin will be gone for two or three weeks
