I absolutely love this GPS. We just got back from vacation and it was very helpful. While traveling and you want to stop and eat, the database had all kinds of places, and it looked for places near where you are at the time. I also like the bluetooth telephone feature. You can use the voice dial feature to make your call hands free. It works great. The traffic alert is also a very cool feature. It lets you know if there are traffic problems ahead and you can see exactly what and where the problem is. I highly recommend this product.
Saved us in Sicily!!!! May 20, 2008

Bought the 770 for our just completed trip to Sicily.
First the good - Couldn't have found our way without the 770. It is almost impossible to find one's way in Sicily just reading street signs, if they exist at all. The 770's maps of Sicily were amazingly accurate and allowed us to follow the car icon on the route and instantly identify when we went off track. Using the 770 made it easy to get back to our route. The whole process was pretty easy and pretty accurate.
But there are some deficiencies - yes, the 770 can take a long time to locate the satellites, sometimes up to 20 or 30 minutes.
Some of the routes were impossible to follow - i.e., the 770 is unable to separate freeway frontage roads from the freeway and if the frontage road ends, it continues to route you on the freeway and there is no one-ramp. That can cause major back tracking. major frustration.
We purchased the Southern European Points of Interest SD. As far as Sicily is concerned, it is woefully under documented and hardly worth the money. Nothing much. A waste. Can't say anything about other regions in Southern Europe.
We also purchased the Bi-Lingual language SD. It was a bit of an extravagance, but got good usage in restaurants or reading signs on the go without the hastle of carrying another book. We considered it worth the money and it won't go out of date soon.
All in all, without the 770, our Sicilian trip would have been a real nightmare. We were on the road touring 5 or 6 out of 7 days a week and the 770 let us keep whatever sanity we had after contending with Sicilian motorists. Too bad the 770 couldn't do someting about them. LOL.
Excellent Navigator - Europe & USA May 9, 2008
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
Positive:
I bought this for use on a trip to Italy, it exceeded my expectations. Routing was always fast and efficient. It found roads that I would have never used. The ETA feature is convenient and always accurate. The favorites feature lets you save locations and quickly navigate to them. I never had to worry about trying to read a street sign or look at a map. It made for a worry free vacation.
Negative:
One time it took me the wrong way in pedestrian mode, but it could have been user error on my behalf. It also brought me to a do not enter/one way street, but the detour feature worked nicely.
Overall:
Extremely easy to use, works well in USA and Europe. Expensive, but I would recommend it.
Great Product! May 2, 2008

Wow! THis is a great product and I prefer to use it over the pre-installed gps in our mini-van. Very easy to use. Only disappointment was that it didnt come with a case or a cable that you could use outside the vehicle to recharge. If you want these accessories be prepared to pay more!
