i'm finally in the process of upgrading from venerable nuvi 350.
since it's been a while since i followed the nuvi line closely,
the one piece of information that i wish was in the comparison
spreadsheet was the approximate introduction date for each model.
the nuvi line's model number is confusing.
for example, on first glance, one would think that the 8x0 line was
introduced after the 7x5 line.
i still have figured out whether the 8x5 line came before
or after the 7x5 line. |

That may be correct.
As far as I understand 8xx is obsoleted.
Do read the review of the different Nüvi here on this site before you order one.
7x5 is a good GPS. |
Previously owned : GPS "eTrex Yellow" "GPSmap 76S" "GPSMap 60CS" "GPSMAP 60CSx" "Nüvi 660"
Unit I have now :"Nüvi 760 EU" "Nüvi 765" "Edge 305" "Colorado 300" |

Ah, maybe a clue as to where that review might be located? |

| One of the things I enjoy on this sticky is the change log. It provides a timeline (although incomplete) of the nuvi model history and life cycle. One of the missing pieces is when the first 3xx and 6xx nuvis came to market. I would like to see you maintain this information on all the nuvi models. |

| What is likely the next Garmin Nuvi for the US or other markets? Is it the 1820 and 1860 or have those been indefinitely delayed? |

| I notice that Garmin is now listing the 285, 785 and 885 as discontinued ... I suppose because of the MSN Direct status. |

Is the nuvi 5000 capable of remote control?
The beginning of this thread, in the Nuvi 5000 section, lists remote control among its features.
It says "remote control (not included)."
I found a remote available for the GPSMAP 5000, but not the Nuvi 5000.
Is this an error? Where is that remote! I want it!
I like my Nuvi 5000 but I really miss the remote on my old Harman Kardon GPS-810.
Later... |

| If by remote control you mean voice activated commands then the answer is that it is not available on the 5000. See the specs sheet at https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=11547#specsTab |

NanaimoRick:
"If by remote control you mean... "
No, I am asking about the specs [blurb] at the beginning of this thread. Perhaps it just needs a minor edit -- like "none" or "not confirmed" rather than "not included"
I have read a lot of spec sheets on this unit. A lot of them have errors regarding features -- including the one on Garmin's site. (Garmin added features via software and never went back and updated the spec sheet) The specs on this thread is the only one I have seen which [correctly] point out the addition of DEM support. So when I find the mere mention of remote control functionality without the word "no" or "none" nearby, I am compelled to ask "what remote?". My last GPS had a remote control with a knob and buttons. I miss that remote.
I know a few Garmin models came with a remote. I know this one didn't. However, I also know that the feature set of this model includes nothing that could make use of a microphone -- yet this model has a cradle with a mic input jack and a case designed to accomodate an internal mic -- as if the engineering guys were considering... at one time... possibly adding the software to support the hardware. (I wonder if there really is a mic behind that little hole in the case)
So, with Garmin's practice of controlling features via software, together with my boundless optimism, I have to ask. Its not a stupid question, just a hopelessly optimistic question.
Quoting the Nuvi-5000 blurb at the beginning of this thread:
" USB 2.0, 5.65"Wx3.71"Hx.80"D, 800*480 screen,TTS, battery- none, Embedded Linux (OS),user-defined avoidance, Composite video in - backup camera compatible, DEM support, No Bluetooth, FM Transmitter, Track log, remote control (not included)"
Remote?!? Not included?!?
The AC adapter is "not included" -- I know where to get one of those. But the remote? Where is that remote?!? I want it!

The change log of this topic has this: "2010-04-19 Nuvi 7xx Discontinued" and "2010-04-19 Nuvi 8xx Disxontinued". Which specific models were discontinued on this date? The 7x0, 8x0, 785T and 885 were discontinued months ago and are listed earlier in the log. As of 2010-04-20 Garmin still has the 755T, 765T, 775T and 885 listed as active models on the US web site. So which models is the change log referring to that were discontinued on 2010-04-19?
