Battery Review 
by .. The Boogster (Illinois)
Good buy. I purchased extra batteries because in some of the cars I drive I am unable to charge my Nuvi 850. Once the battery is exhausted I just change it. It is easy to do and the batteries are not too bulky and easily fit in a carrying case.
Spare battery for biking or hiking by .. EJG (Albany, NY)
I bought the Nuvi 885T because it has a user replaceable battery. With the spare battery, I can bring up the topo maps and use the 885T biking or hiking all day.
Power up by .. John C. Parchman ()
Bought the battery as a backup for my Nuvi gps. It holds its' charge very well and is very handy to have when out and about without easy access to an electric outlet. It's a no brainer for active users of gadgets that are powered by this particular battery.
A "must" for out-of-vehicle use by .. W. M. McLaughlin (Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, USA.)
Garmin nuvi 880 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS NavigatorThe 880 is great, when used indoors planning a trip, or on the road "executing" the trip. You can hook it up to 110 VAC, or 12 VDC. But, in between or out of the car at destination, Watch Out! The 880 battery is stated as being good for only five (5) hours. So, I pack a spare battery for the 880 GPS (and a different one for my cell phone) whenever I go out of the immediate vicinity of my rural home. Both the GPS and the cell phone batteries are a pain to charge. You have to install them in their units, and then charge the units. The Nuvi battery is a little awkward to get out (don't force it, it comes out easy if you do it right) but easy to reinstall.
Of course, if I know I'm going to be away from the car, in the woods, I take along another Magellan which works great in the woods, but has too small a screen for driving.

The 855 is a replacement for a 760. I liked the 760 despite the usual Garmin flaws of clunky website, occasional mis-direction, and poor instructions. The 855 is bigger and badder, but so far I haven't used it for more than I did the 760. A trip from Wyoming to Houston in my 2010 Outback found the 855 trying to send me around Denver via a toll road, though I told it no pay roads. Turns out this was a feature designed to route me around mealtime traffic. Not a big deal, but it was irritating. It sent me North around San Antonio, when I saw Southern routes that were significantly shorter, so must assume (at 4pm) it might be traffic-related too. The Northern route was more touristy, which I DID want (LBJ Ranch, Museum of the Pacific War, others) to see, so it was acceptable. Around Houston, it helped a lot, but traffic always makes it hard to keep glancing at the screen. The voice was too soft (volume turned all the way up) at times for the traffic noise, but I found my way with only minor issues in Houson's spaghetti highways. Later return to San Antonio worked beautifully, and son and I got back to Houston late, but just fine. Return to Wyoming found me trying some secondary (U.S.) Highways instead of the Interstate, and with only a couple of missed turns, did just fine. I learned map reading in Boy Scouts, continued it in the Military, and 9 years travelling the State for work, so am a bit better at finding my way around than the average driver. I don't like having to recharge the battery every month, and often the 855 doesn't go into charge mode (not visibly) when I plug it into the USB port. Navigation on the website is not the best, and I still don't fully understand when I need to buy a city map versus the general map, as well as exactly how to switch from Wyoming to Colorado to New Mexico to Texas as I go along. It would be nice to have a simple screen (or decent instructions) on how to do it. But with perseverance and a few cuss words, the trip went very well (grandbabies' birthdays), and the 855 was a big help in planning distances, times, roads and turns. Now my phone offers similar service, but at $12/month (or $2.99/day), I'll stick with the 855 (it's paid off!). Useful device despite some shortcomings for us non-tech folks. And despite only a moderate battery life when walking around a city, it was also helpful there.
