Amazon.com Product Description -- January 8, 2008 Garmin's nüvi 700 series brings two exciting new features -- multi-destination routing and, "Where am I?/Where's my car?" -- to its popular pocket-sized GPS navigator lineup. As with all nüvis, you get Garmin reliability, the fast satellite lock of an integrated high-sensitivity receiver, a slim, pocket-sized design with a gorgeous display, an easy, intuitive interface, and detailed NAVTEQ maps for the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico with more than 6 million name-searchable points of interest. All of the 700-series navigators also feature a rich array of features including spoken directions in real street names, MP3 player and photo viewer, and an FM transmitter that will play voice prompts, MP3s, audio books, and more, directly through your vehicle's stereo system. The nüvi 760 and 770 add integrated traffic receivers and Bluetooth capability for hands-free calling. The nüvi 770 adds maps for Europe. The nüvi 780 adds enhanced MSN direct content capability.. Which nüvi is Best for You?: Click here to see a quick, simple comparison of features for all Garmin nuvi GPS navigators  Garmin's nüvis pack top of the line features into a slim form factor. | Wider screen lets you see more of what's around. Compare these actual size views of a 3-inch (diagonal) screen  and a 4.3-inch diagonal widescreen  | New Features -- Where Am I? Where's My Car? The nüvi 700 series is the first to answer two common questions: "Where am I?" and "Where's my car?" At any time, with a single tap of the screen, drivers can display their exact latitude and longitude coordinates, the nearest address and intersection, and the closest hospitals, police stations and gas stations. And to help drivers find their car in an unfamiliar spot or vast parking lot, all nüvi 700s automatically mark the position in which they were last removed from the mount. New Features -- Multi-Destination Routing This lets you enter several spots into the device (day care - supermarket-cleaners - office - day care, for example) and it will plot the fastest route. And once you've found the best router, the "Route Planning" feature lets you save up to 10 different routes, Garmin touts the feature for providing, "the most efficient route for errands, deliveries and sales calls." The feature also makes this an instant essential accessory for anyone who shops garage sales (you know what we're talking about). A trip log provides an electronic bread crumb trail of up to 10,000 points, so you can see where you've been on the map. See Better, See More The super-bright, 4.3-inch (diagonal) touchscreen display gives is anti-glare for ease of viewing during the day and automatically changes its color profile for easy viewing at night or in dim light. It offers 2d or 3D perspective views. The widescreen format gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push. First Rate Map Data All nüvi 700s come preloaded with highly detailed City Navigator NT road maps for the entire United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. This map database features nearly six million points of interest (POIs), including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping. Important note about map updates: Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our Garmin Store. Hands-Free Calling In more and more places, it is becoming illegal to use cell phones while driving without a hands-free kit. WIth Bluetooth capability, microphone and speaker, you can match your nüvi to any bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nüvi's touch screen keypad to make a call on a compatible phone. To answer an incoming call, just tap the screen and speak into the built-in microphone. Making and taking calls on the road has never been easier, or safer. In addition, Garmin makes it a breeze to look-up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or even tap into your cell phone's call history log. Integrated FM Traffic Receiver  | Steer clear of traffic with an integrated FM traffic receiver designed to receive alerts from TMC Clear Channel about traffic tie-ups and road construction that might lie ahead on your route. All you have to do is simply touch the screen to view traffic details and you'll be ready to detour around any problem area. And if you end up missing a turn, or you're forced into a detour that is not relayed through the traffic receiver, the nüvi's sophisticated automatic routing will get you back on track in no time. In most areas, TMC Clear Channel traffic broadcasts are continuous there's no waiting for scheduled traffic news updates or random alerts. Because traffic broadcasts are received via a "silent" FM data channel, you can still listen to music or news programming on your car radio without interference from incoming FM traffic data transmissions. A 3-month subscription to TMC Clear Channel's Total Traffic Network is included with purchase of this device. For more information on subscription fees, coverage in individual cities, and traffic data networks in the United Kingdom and Europe, check the Garmin website. | Garmin Lock Garmin's patent pending theft prevention system that disables the unit from performing any functions until the user types in a specific 4-digit PIN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location Easy To Use Interface Garmin's interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about your trip. Beyond Navigation  Browse your stored pictures with an easy-to-use JPEG viewer. | A handy MP3 player lets you play songs stored on SD memory cards. | nüvi 250W accepts custom points of interest (POIs).

Worse than the 660 July 20, 2008 I've used both the 660/650 and 760/750 and IMO Garmin has been cutting corners developing the 7XX. The 660 is superior to the 760 because:
- 660 comes with more accessories like case and AC adapter - GPS receiver not as sensitive as the 660. The 660 would literally take 5 secs to get a fix, while the 760 usually ranges from 5 secs to 5 minutes. It's not very consistent - Really poor speaker compared to the 6XX series. Garmin really cheapened out putting such a poor sounding speaker in the 7XX series. - The 760 freezes around once a week! Usually it happens when I search for a POI, enter an address or try to add a new route under multirouting. The 660/650 that I've had NEVER froze during the 1 year that I used them - BAD routing. This is really the deal breaker for me. I've used both the 2008 and 2009 maps and the 760 gives me really bad routes sometimes here in LA. The 660 gives much more efficient routes. It sounds crazy, but its true. - BT interface is well done, but the sound quality of the speaker is horrible, so its almost impossible to understand the other party.
I really wanted to like the 760 as it has nicer graphics, multirouting, QWERTY, and history of cities. However, I plan to return my 760 and get a 650 instead.
Excellent..even better at the Amazon price. July 20, 2008 Excellent gps unit.... my only complaint is the "tinny" sound and the lack of a signal beep as you approach a turn. The features of the 760 are as described and function well... although I've only had my unit for the last 2 days. I'm not too sure whether I'll subscibe to the traffic feature after the 3 month trial subscription expires... but I'll give it a few weeks of use to see if the subscription is worth it. I'm using the supplied dashboard mount. It seems to be well secured to the dashboard. I don't think I'll need the windshield mount. I did have to upgrade the software. When I registered the unit on the Garmin webpage, it offered a free upgrade to the 2009 version of the map software. It takes a good hour or two to do the upgrade using the Garmin web updater program that is free to download. I was quite suprised to find that the brightness of the display is excellent, even in bright sunshine. All in all this gps is really quite good and very easy to use... I highly recommend it. I've noticed that the Amazon price varies from day to day (hour to hour?), but still the price I paid beat Best Buy and Circuit City (both were selling it at $599 plus tax)... I was able to catch the Amazon price of $342... quite a deal considering the free shipping option and no sales tax (I did opt for the 2nd day delivery for $6.95...would you believe that the unit was delivered the day after I ordered it!)
Excellent navigator July 18, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have just moved to a new city and this unit has been invaluable. Having it speak the names of the streets is a very worthwhile plus. The maps seem to be up to date in urban areas although there are some gaps in eastern Canada. Even in these cases it "does its best" which is pretty good. I found the "find lodging" function useful while travelling but using the unit to play music through the car stereo can present a problem since it is often difficult to find sustained "blank space" on the FM dial especially while travelling any distance as the nuvi is "stepped on" by local stations.
Perfect for travel, the Garmin solution July 18, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The Garmin nuvi 760 is perfect for our needs. Everything works as described. I really enjoy the MP3 feature. Easy to configure and use. In California we had to order the dash board mount and it works perfectly. We have not used all the features yet but feel they will work as described. I highly recommend this product.
For this price is should include a carring case and household adapter which were ordered after we received the Garmin 760.
maps not current July 17, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
The unit works ok but the maps are not current. It is disappointing that newer neighborhoods (built 2 years ago) and other newer restaurants are not on the maps. The website offers to sell the current maps and I do not know if that fixes the lack of up to date information.
