Electronics : Garmin nüvi 760 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Automobile Navigator |
- Garmin 760I recently purchased the 760 and I really like it. The larger screen is really nice. The blue tooth connectivity works really well, it hooked up with my Blackberry Pearl very easily with no problem at all. Unfortunately, the FM transmitter is just a little weak, consequently there is a little too much background white noise and interference. For the most part the maps are pretty good, but of all the things it has my own home address wrong, it's about 4 houses off. I downloaded the latest maps and it still didn't fix the problem. For the most part it gets me where I'm going very nicely. There are a lot of Points of Interest, but it takes just a little digging to get to them unlike my older and much cheaper MIO which floats POIs such as gas stations and hotel icons right across the screen to let you know that they are up ahead. I wish the 760 had this feature, or at least make the POIs more readily accessible. The mounting bracket has a swivel knuckle that works very good which makes the bracket quite sturdy. Over all I like this unit a lot it would be excellent if Garmin made the FM transmitter stronger. I do recommend this unit.

- One of the easiestI have owned other GPS units and this one is by far the easiest to use. It has a very large screen and the interface is really easy to use. I now use it to load audiobooks and music files and the FM interface is great. I have used this for a short time and I traveled through small towns and rural areas and this has been one of the best tools I have had! I would recommend this to anyone who needs an easy to use GPS and one that can be easily updated.

- Overall good product, but still far from perfectI've had my 760 for a couple of months now and overall I'm happy with it. I like that it will give me traffic information, as well as restaurants, gas stations, etc. It has some features that are available that I don't really use such as bluetooth, mp3 player and it also allows you to get the voice to play thru your car speakers via an unused FM station frequency.
My biggest gripe with it is the routing. Even though I know my way around Houston pretty well, I use my GPS to get me around heavy traffic to and from work. There are times where it tries to send me on very odd routes or it will frequently tell me to exit off the main freeway to an access road and back up to the freeway for no apparent reason. I have changed the settings from fastest to shortest in the navigation options but that doesn't help.
I am about to go on a long road trip from Houston to Orlando and I think it will come in real handy but when it comes to city driving, I don't put a whole lot of faith in it, unfortunately.
One of the things I'm a little confused about, also is the difference (if there IS one) between the software that is installed on the device vs. City Navigator North America which would cost me about $70. If anybody knows if this is worth the expense, I'd certainly appreciate the feedback.

- Nuvi 760 aka JillWell having had / worked another GPS for a few years this has been a pure pleasure.Very easy to read, its bright in the daytime, auto-dims at night and is very intuitive.Between the written,voice,and visual directions, anyone of which will get you where your going, you can't go wrong.
I use mine everyday in work to weave my way through all the one-way back streets of downtown Boston,its Great,I love it,and would recommend the nuvi 760 to anyone of my friends or family.And that's just the navigation part.I've only scratched the surface.I'm just now getting into some of the other features /functions, but they appear to be the same easy to navigate and find info.experience that I've had so far.Enjoy
Sincerely
Ron from Boston.
