 Need Help! February 1, 2008
Hi,
I have Magellan Roadmate 760 for 2 yrs now. I accidently deleted the maps. Can someone help me with the software?
Thanks
 not a wise purchase December 4, 2007
I was happy with this unit when I bought it just under a year ago. Even if the mapping was out of date. It often could only find the road I needed not the address. However in November it could not connect to a satellite at all. I did research and found a reported common problem was the antenna cable inside would break off the circuit board. I found this was the case and paid a local computer repair store to fix it. In less than a week it began to turn on and off repeatedly. More research showed the power mounting cradle needed replacing. I just got that in and found it is still not working. A call to tech support told me to replace the mounting cradle. When I told them I just did, they told me to send it in for repair. The base repair cost is more than 1/2 the cost I paid for the unit. Given the replacement part I already purchased and the cost of the repair of the broken antenna lead this will put repair costs close to the purchase cost of the unit. And all this in less than 1 years use. I CAN NOT recommend this product to anyone.
 Great buy for the price August 7, 2007
My husband's wanted a GPS unit forever, he finally got his wish and loves this, easy to use, store when you leave the car, great product, no issues on the reconditioned model, highly recommended.
 When it works, it's completely awesome.... August 1, 2007
I have owned the Magellan 760 for 21 months. It kept freezing up and finally quit working all together while it was still under warranty and it was repaired in a timely manner. However, the screws that hold the machine together were left out of the back and although I was promised replacements 3 times, they never arrived. I have had to keep it wrapped with a hair tie or rubber band the past year. But it has worked well since it was repaired.
Just now it is fading, the voice is hoarse and the favorite places function has failed. It cost a lot to last less than 2 years. I am trying to decide which brand and model to replace it with, as I plan to never be without a GPS, they are the best invention ever. I can get lost better and faster than anyone I know.
Overall, this has been good. When it works, it's really great. But the maps have been kind of old since I first got it in Oct 05. It really liked to direct you to Lowe's in Lubbock, Texas 3,600 miles away instead the Lowe's 3 miles away. A friend has a Cobra, while it has good features, it's the most talkative, annoying thing you can imagine. The Magellan 760 is very slow compared to another friend's new Garmin Nuvi 660. In a busy town with lots of exits, I often miss my exit but the good part is with the GPS,I can get back on track quickly instead of wandering, weeping and lost for hours. It holds information for 3 drivers and this wastes a lot of space. I would often run out of space for my favorite places and it was annoying because I am the only driver using it and I know there is plenty of room under 2 other names. But to get to those, you have to turn off the machine, reboot it and try to remember which of the other 2 potential drivers have the site you need, and try not to have a wreck while you are doing all this. The valuable thing about favorite places is even if your maps are old, you only have to rant and rave and drive around like crazy once. You finally get there, save it in your favorites and life is good again. Absolutely I plan to buy another GPS. I am not certain it will be a Magellan.
Don't buy one of these... April 1, 2007
I like this unit when it feels like working but it has numerous problems.
1. The satellite can take 5+ minutes to connect and sometimes doesn't connect at all no matter where I place it in my car.
2. The back of the unit pops off easily thus disconnecting the power supply.... tricky to put back together when you're driving...
3. My unit is broken and has a rattly sound inside even though I've never dropped it...probably can't handle much road vibration
4. You have to bang the touch screen sometimes to get it to respond
My wife got this one at Sharper Image--- another piece of overpriced junk from the master sellers of over priced junk!!!!
