 Garmin 750 April 21, 2008

I have had this unit for about a month now. It usually acquires tracking very fast within 2 min, although it can take up to 10 min. The map is up to date. The only small problem is when going more than 200 mi, the fm frequency usually needs to be changed if using the car radio. The extra SD drive will hold at least 15 music albums. Over all a good purchase.

This unit will not disappoint! Easy to use. Easy to read night or day. Works great in and out of the car. Great features as long as you don't need Bluetooth. Long lasting battery. Great value for the price.

First I have to say there was a problem registering the Nuvi 750 I bought from Amazon. Garmin's website said the serial number was already registered. Unable to contact Garmin (Holiday), I called Amazon. The representative I spoke to immediately, continually apologized and offered to either refund my money or send me another unit. Since I wanted the 750, I opted for a new unit which he overnighted to me. I don't see how anyone can ask for better customer service...these folks are the best.
I'm quite happy with the Nuvi 750 as it performs like I expected a Garmin should. Given the sheer magnitude of the United States and complexity of its many roads, I don't expect it to be perfect, which it isn't, but it comes close.
After updating the firmware, I hooked it in the car and it acquired satellites in less than twenty seconds first time turning on. After that, I only took few seconds to get a fix on sufficient satellites to navigate. Usually by time I enter my security code, press "Agree" and "Map", the unit is ready to navigate.
The speaker isn't the greatest. It's easily head in my family car but in my Mustang with its modified exhaust, it's hard to hear even with the windows rolled up and stereo off. Fortunately, for me, that's not a problem on the highway and when I get into city traffic, I just use the FM transmitter and allow directions to come through my stereo speakers.
Now that Google Maps has teamed up with Garmin to allow users to update locations to their GPS units, it's only made a good product better. Very soon Mapquest will also have this feature too include routs.
Garmin's POI loader is great. Uploading POI's is a breeze and you can set proximity alerts to as much as 37 miles away, as the crow flies...a fantastic feature for interstate travel.
I like the Automatic Map Scaling which will zoom you in closer when approaching an upcoming turn or maneuver. This is especially useful for off ramps, especially when traveling in congested areas.
This is an excellent unit well worth the money.
IMO, best value for the money! April 9, 2008

An outstanding bright screen, intuitive simple menu navigation and the addition of waypoints are the hallmarks of this wonderful device. With the new firmware (2.6 I believe) all satellite acquisition issues have been laid to rest with cold acquisition taking about 10 to 15 seconds and hot acquisition nearly instantaneous.
I've owned the IPAQ and this device blows the IPAQ out of the water in terms of ease of use, form factor and overall elegance. I've also owned the Nuvi 360 and this screen is brighter and the signal acquisition is just as quick if not faster. The display is wider than the 360 and of course there is no antenna to deploy. The biggest advantage over the 360 is the ability to plan routs with the use of multiple waypoints. The IPAQ has 9 million points of interest (gas stations, hospitals etc.) compared to the Nuvi's 6 million, but getting to them is a difficult task on the IPAQ and VERY easy on the Nuvi - advantage Nuvi.
Route selection is fantastic and the unit's accuracy is equal to any GPS device I've used. The big advantage over most other units is the ease of use, but that does not come at the expense of capability.
All in all, this GPS is an excellent buy. You will not be disappointed.
Garmin nuvi 750 - all it is advertised April 8, 2008

I have hesitated for quite some time on the purchase of a navigation device. Recently, I decided to take the plunge. I rode with several people who use different devices (Garmin, TomTom, and Magellan). I asked each for their experiences and then observed for myself. Garmin seemed the way to go based mainly on responsiveness.
Pros: Easy to navigate the device - the touchpad is well laid out with an intuitive interface. The 4.3 in screen makes it easer to enter information into the keypad than a smaller screen. And it is extremely fast!
Cons: None of the navigation devices, and Garmin is no exception, appear good at adding street information for new developments (the development was about finished about 6 - 9 months ago in this case). There was no user's manual - you have to go on-line if you have a specific "how to" question. This isn't a major issue, though, as it is pretty intuitive and easy to navigate.
Overall, I would highly recommend this product.
