Garmin released a free, mandatory GPS software update to correct a software
issue that has been discovered to cause select GPS devices to repeatedly
attempt to update GPS firmware, and then either shut down or no longer
acquire GPS satellite signals. The products affected are the nüvi 7x5
series, nüvi 800 series, nüvi 8x5 series, zumo 660, GPSMAP 620 and GPSMAP
640.
Garmin nüvi 7x5 series products that are no longer able to acquire a GPS
satellite signal may download a firmware update immediately that will
correct the software issue. This firmware update may be downloaded using
Garmin’s WebUpdater.
Firmware updates for other affected products will be available online
through Garmin’s WebUpdater in the near future. Affected customers who have
registered their GPS device will be notified about these updates through

I received the notice several days ago. I did the update for my 755T
although I wasn't experiencing any difficulties.
All went well for me.
