Garmin NUVI recall

[OverlandXJ]

Check your serial number here to find out if your unit is affected. Some have a battery that could be a fire hazard.

Mine was ok...

Glad I didn't buy one yet.

Which NUVI models will allow you to upload topo maps and set routes? I've heard there are specific models that will but not sure which ones they are.

I don't want to pay the price for a Zumo.

I believe your speaking of the 500 series, but check on the tracking capability. Otherwise you'll need to load topo to an SD card and overlay a file that you'll be able to follow.

I didnt want to drop the coin for a Zumo either, still too new to GPS to warrant it. Maybe at another time.

Thanks for this. Will check when I get home

I've got a 755 that I've only had for a few months now. The battery always says that it is low as soon as I take it off the cradle. It just doesn't seem to hold a charge. Wonder if this is the problem. I'll have to check when I get home from work...
