while driving, the new 765T decided that it would be a good time for it to "update its firmware." So, it says "updating firmware 1%" ... it says this a few times. I turned it off (I'm DRIVING and I need it to navigate...) and it seemed to be back to normal. A while later it happens again, and then I get the
"Update Complete - OK" dialog. clicked OK, and it turns itself off. Never to be heard from again. Dark. Nothing. Lifeless BRICK. I can't believe it BRICKED ITSELF WHILE DRIVING and ON THE ROAD. Spent 55 minutes on the phone (mostly waiting for a human) for them to tell me "uh, yeah its one of many reports we started receiving today." So Joy.
Garmin in their infinite wisdom decided it might *NOT* be a good idea to ship me another identical unit... so it looks like I will be getting an upgrade to a 800 series. Will see how well THIS brick works when it arrives next week...
