 Horrible Online Experience June 14, 2008
13 out of 27 found this review helpful
My first problem was with Amazon who copped a "not our problem" deal with me when a concern did arise. Then the Garmin was defective and I returned it which was the second lousy experience with all the aggravation entailed. finally those lovely folks charged me a large restocking fee for a unit that in fact was defective. The net result was I will probably never buy from or through Amazon again and perhaps not online again. I will go to local shops and malls for all my future purchases of anything. Public beware!!!

 770 is great, but customer support is awful June 13, 2008

I have owned no less than 6 Garmin GPS's. The customer support has continued to get worse and worse. I've literally tried for months to get the Nuvi 770 to work with my Blackberry Pearl and haven't been able to get it to work. It is a major undertaking to even get to customer support, let alone get a fix. It is rare that their website menu's work correctly or completely, when trying to get updates. The E-mail support is many times "canned" and is not an appropriate responce to the problem. When shopping check out the ratings on customer support of the brand you wish to buy.
 It was a gem! June 12, 2008

This 770 Nuvi saved our trip in England by getting us everywhere easy, smeazy. When I came home I set up the handsfree bluetooth with my cell phone and that was amazing. It was a breeze and the 770 also took the numbers from my cell to set up a very handy phone book. All this in just seconds. What a great little unit.
Great GPS June 10, 2008

Great product. Works well with my iMac and quickly updated the latest software. The black face looks much better than the silver. No need for the AC charger, you can charge directly from your computer/laptop with the USB cable.
I live in Switzerland and the preloaded maps work fine. The POI could be better, but I'm sure they are good in the USA. Speed limits are accurately displayed on the freeways. I will also use it in the USA later this year and it's useful to plan your route before you arrive.
Very quick to pick up a signal.

Undoubtedly the worst piece of technology I have ever encountered. This seems to have been designed by the sort of techies who habitually refer to end users as "abusers". There is nothing about this POS that can be described as user-friendly. It is, of course, expensive. Out of the box, it simply does not work. Poor to non-existent documentation; extremely unhelpful online assistance; time consuming and very frustrating. From the product description, I was under the impression that all maps and software are pre-loaded. Not so - you have to go online and navigate a poorly designed website to update both. Even with a relatively fast DSL connection, this process consumes several hours. And then, IT STILL DOESN"T WORK. "Unable to unlock maps". "Unable to find device". Oh yeah - try calling customer service - hold times are at least 35-45 minutes. If patient or desperate enough, you may eventually speak to a very pleasant but not terribly knowledgeable young person who cannot diagnose your problem correctly. All in all, a terrific stock (GRMN) to SHORT - but not a very good product to buy. (Oh, and AMZN is no help either).
