 Avoid - Get Nuvi 360 instead. October 14, 2008
1 out of 5 found this review helpful
1. The Nuvi 750 has a problem with FM transmitter. It appears as if the FM transmitter does not turn off when you un-mount the device and turn the display off. Hence the battery appears to continue to drain. After one night in the car, the NUVI becomes dead. No amount of car charging is able to revive it. Only solution is to connect to a wall charger overnight.
2. The FM transmitter if very weak, so virtually useless for hearing FM music in the car.
3. The navigation is much more sluggish than the older and cheaper Nuvi 360. Possibly because of all the extra code for the MSN direct integration. Often the map software won't recognize a turn until 20 yards after completing the turn.
4. The Routing feature appears to be the only significant new addition, and unless you drive a delivery truck, its not very useful.
5. The sliding power button on the 750 is not as nice as the push button power on the 360.
Bottom line - I would buy a NUVI 360 over the 750 any day. 360 is a fantastic, sturdy navigation device. 750 appears to be only half way there, & by the way - it has a weaker GPS receiver than the 300 and 600 series, so you'll have a harder time finding your position in a downtown despite the new insta-fix patch.
 An amazing machine September 30, 2008

I've extensively tested this on two long trips in unfamiliar territory. It worked flawlessly. Acquiring satellites has a lot to do with where you are. In the city it takes a bit longer. But I'm never in that much of a hurry. In both highway and rural situations, I felt you got a long enough verbal warning of an upcoming turn. I had several situations where I was with a "local" and they scoffed at the directions saying there were turns shown that didn't exist, but they did exist.
Complaints? A few minor ones. It keeps track of all the places you've found and navigated to. You can clear them but it's all or nothing. I'd like to be able to select which ones I deleted. There were also some POIs it should have known but didn't. Notably a 10 year old hotel in Seattle. I could never get the FM broadcast thing to work where you get the instruction through the car radio. Too much static. But I'm hearing impaired and could plainly understand all verbal instructions.
The times I was most pleased was coming into a large unfamiliar city to go to a museum. Instead of nervously looking for signs or trying to navigate to a particular part of town, you felt confident as it routed you flawlessly to your destination.
One tip for those buying this device. I also got a mounting clip available here but cheaper elsewhere that connects to the ball on the back of the mounting plate and then has alligator looking clips that slide into the horizontal (doesn't work with vertical) air vents on your dashboard. This worked very well in different rental cars and was stable and held it over bumps and uneven roads. Lots easier than the windshield suction cup with no telltale marks for car thieves to target.
I'm very pleased with this amazing piece of electronics.
Nuvi 750 September 30, 2008
This is a great product. It isn't 100% perfect but, very close to it. It is really hard to get lost when you use it to navigate.
garmin 750 September 30, 2008
this unit is pretty cool, i had the 350 and i loved it until it was stolen. the 750 has a few options that the 350 didnt have but honestly if i could go back in time i would have gotten the 350 again. however if you have to make like 10 stops then the trip planner of the 750 would be key. little advice, get theone with the live trific report. im kicking my self for not spending the extra 80 bucks.
Great GPS for first-time user September 30, 2008
Purchased this about a month ago. I am in sales and this has been a great addition when I'm on the road. It's easy to use and I love the Points of Interest feature - that is a lifesaver when traveling. I would definitely recommend this product if you're shopping for a GPS.
