I don't know if this a new thing, but I've only just noticed. I have a couple of times, when I use my 2555 to find restaurant, it comes up later and asks to rate the restaurant, with 1 to 5 stars. I'm guessing, that doesn't do anything more than leaving a rating for my own future personsal use.
I can't see how it can share data with any other Garmin users, unlesss it shares the info when, I update. That's a real stretch.
um.. er... uh... well
Perhaps, when you connect your GPS to your computer and use Garmin Express to update maps, or other software Garmin might collect your ratings.
But then again who knows what evil lurks in the minds of the folks at Garmin?
Never argue with a pig. It makes you look foolish and it anoys the hell out of the pig!

This is what Garmin calls its Feedback feature. It is available on the

Feedback allows you - for any built-in POI - to
1. Provide a Rating on a scale of 1 to 5 stars
2. Report errors in order to remove the POI from future search results, or
3. Edit the POI's phone number

I've never seen it on my 3790.

That
That maybe because you've opted out of Garmin collecting data when you attach to your GPS to their facilities. I've never seen it either, but I have consistently said No when asked if I wanted to share my usage data.

I always opt out for any company wanting to see my usage data.

Difficult to Avoid Tracking

I am not trying to be cynical, but nothing is truly "free" - and it is pretty well impossible to avoid being tracked!
I tend to check out hotels and restaurants on the Internet when I travel... and then I start getting pop-up ads for these places. I want to get comps at casinos so I sign up for a players' card... and I am inundated with email offers. And it's likely that if I sign up for one company's offer, I will start getting promotions from other/similar companies.
I like the "freebies" so I have to accept someone or something is tracking me. I just try to be "selective".
when sites want my email address
I usually give them one from
