Text Files (missing)

I just purchased a refurbished 765T so far it seems to be working OK. I decided to look thru the file folders and noticed some text files missing, all the foreign ones to be exact. So I compared them to the nuvi360 and they were all there. My question is are they needed? and if so can I transfer them from the 360.

use WebUpdater

Connect the unit to the PC and run WebUpdater which should notify you of the missing files and install them for you.

How about emailing me a copy of your files from your 765T? Or can I transfer them from the 360?

Unless you

Unless you plan on reading text in some foreign language you don't need the text files anyway. They basically are just taking up space for most of us.

Good for you that you have backups. Since you have been here for a while, I should have looked at your profile and I would have then asked if it was the same in your backup.

Since these are text files - I agree with others that not having them is something that should not matter. Many people will delete the ones they do not want in order to free space.

I do not think it would cause a problem to try a set of text files (that would be usually 3 files) from your 360 and then see what happens using that vouce for a "Where To?"

For Voice files, garmin.com seems to imply that - after an update -

"To load or update voices:

Click Next after the software has updated
Tick the voices you need
Click Next
Click Finish "

I don't know why something on text files is not available also.
