Who has one of these?

I have a Garmin Nuvi 855. I went to the site, got the free map download and my GPS says I have the North America maps.

So... why the f*** is it telling me "city not recognized" when I type in Las Vegas???

I've checked settings and everything and it all appears normal. It seems to only be giving me CA cities...

My wife has a Garmin - we took it to Cali last summer and could not get a map on it .... I think we have to get the platinum membership for that....

If you figure it out, I would sure like to know - hate to have to buy one of these for each state ....

I'm not sure WTF, brother. I registered the device, I downloaded my free maps (north america) and it gives me **** outside of CA cities.

If it's required to buy any maps outside of your own state I am going to be f***ing pissed. That's penny ante bull****.

Well... I'm a dumbass. (there's a newsflash, eh?)

There's a spot to change your state/province when you go to "where to".

Duh!

Glad we at the forum could help MACS.

^Gee, donut... you are SO effing helpful I don't know what the f*** I would do without you.

*sarcasm meter still at full... c'mon... it's me... it's ALWAYS set to full*

Dude, c'mon, you have to admit it is pretty funny that you didn't read the manual and you were all like pissed off and all.

Funny, sure... but if you knew me you'd know I ain't got time to read stuff that doesn't interest me.

Car, gun, sports magazines, sure... fantasy novels, damn straight.

A Nuvi fkn owners manual? What do I look like? A scientist?

Have a great night!

I'm with you MACs - who the heck has time to read a manual? It should be intuitive!!!

I have the garmin nuvi 200 and I can search anywhere in the US

on mine when I go to address it says TN or spell state/province

does yours say that? I put in Nev and it pops up Nevada the La and it shows Las Vegas,NV and Laughlin,NV

I have used mine outside of TN with no problems.

See? Bob didn't even have time to read the posts and figure out I solved the mystery!!

I bought a Magellon GPS, and went on an 8 state vacation, man are these things the bomb.

Magellan here as well. Hasn't let me down yet. If I need an address I pull it up on my iPhone then put it in the Magellan.

You should have bought a iMap...

I have a Nuvi..........it was Consumer Report's best buy.

Often it can't find ****.

On Sunday, I was a hundred feet from a popular seafood grocer and it couldn't find it.

I can't say for sure if it is true, but it seems to me that my mother's Tom Tom is better.......plus you can download Homer Simpson's voice on it.

I have a Nuvi that includes the entire US and Canada. I've never had any issues with it (knock on wood). Just last month we purchased the lifetime map update thing for like $119. It took forever to download to my computer (even with a super fast connection).

17: Yeah, there were no GPS turn by turn apps for the iPhone when I bought my Magellan. I'm happy with my choice. It's a lot easier to loan out the Magellan than my phone.
