semi useful information about a garmin gps February 05, 2010, 07:09:07 pm Yahoo Message Number: 109738Quote We broke down and bought a 755 over the Holidays. In some ways, it's better than the seven year old one it replaces. In other aspects, we prefer the old Quest. While the 755 has newer maps, it seems to give inaccurate directions more often. And so it goes. While charging it via a USB port, I clicked on the device to see what was inside and stumbled on a spreadsheet that details every place it has been. Not just lat/long but place names, miles driven, time, estimated fuel used and the carbon footprint. It's inside the Reports folder, if you are interested.I said it was only semi-useful information. Even less useful to you, is the fact that we enjoyed the 500th night in KoKo the other day. We did the Happy Dance, inside, as it was raining. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

After updating our Nuvi 265WT's firmware, it's behavior improved. While being a bit over a year old, it was several levels back-level.
