This product is a sophisticated electronic device which requires that you read, understand, and act upon the information given in the instruction manual (usually available via the above 'manual' link). You will need internet access and, in accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendations, regularly seek out and accept all firmware or software updates offered by the manufacturer. All GPS devices need to ‘see’ the satellites in the sky. Therefore you will need to know that your vehicle does not have glass that will block or impede the GPS signal.
Updates to this product are via the internet. At this product page we state compatibility with specific versions of current internet connection devices, for example: PC, laptop, MAC, smartphone etc. The Consumer Contract Regulations allow you 14 days, from receipt of purchase, to check compatibility with your internet connection device/s. If you choose to replace or update your PC, MAC etc. neither we nor the manufacturer will be responsible if the new/replacement Operating System (OS) is not compatible with the purchased product.

Question: I come from Greece and came upon your site accidentally during my browsing in the Internet. Can you possibly help me with the following with regard to a GARMIN NUVI 2797 GPS installed in my car.
1. If you can provide me with a reliable dashboard mount suitable for this brand / model?
2. If you can advise me on if / how I can receive live traffic information for Athens, or entire Greece - whatever available - through this GPS?
The said model must support traffic information, as it has a traffic receiver with its antenna attached to the unit, in cooperation with a mobile smartphone and a relevant GARMIN software that I already have in use for hands-free telephone communications while driving.
I also understand from my searching through GARMIN official site in the Internet that they do provide this service on a subscription basis in the USA and Canada only, but not in other countries - if I am not mistaken.
Answer: Garmin nuvi 2797 accessories can be viewed and purchased online here.
The dashboard mount option is the portable friction mount. Please note: The Garmin nuvi 2797 mount cradle (which was originally supplied the nuvi 2797) is also required to complete the installation and clicks into place on the portable friction mounts ball joint on the end of arm.
For traffic information for Greece you would need to already own or purchase the Garmin GTM 36 Traffic Receiver. Garmin have confirmed that traffic information is available throughout Greece, where you have a FM signal.
Question: Is the City Navigator map for UK and Ireland compatible with Garmin Nuvi 2797LM.
Answer: Yes, the City Navigator map For UK and Ireland is compatible with the Garmin Nuvi 2797LM. All maps for the 2797 (including the 2797LM) are listed here. The maps that we sell are genuine Garmin maps in sealed Garmin packets.
