Garmin nuvi 750 March 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have used the grarmin nuvi 750 6 times so far and it has performed well.
It intially took several minutes to locate the satellite but that seems to be improving. It helps to download the detailed manual located at the Garmin website. Also the Garmin's battery lasts approx. 6-8 hrs befor recharging & only comes with a usb port cord & car adapter for recharging. Including a A/C adapter would have been more useful, especially if traveling. However overall, the Garmin nuvi 750 is worth consideration for purchase.
Better than expected March 22, 2008
I am way behind on the cool gadget boat, but finally bit the bullet and after hours of research decided on the Garmin Nuvi 750. It has far exceeded my expectations! Worked well right out of the box with no connection issues. I really like how you can slide the map around with your finger to trace the route or view different portions.
I was a little worried about connection since I don't have an antenna on my car, but have had no problems and it's very quick to pick up route changes if I make a detour.
Only wish so far is to have external volume buttons and an ac adaptor (fixed this by using Gomadic tip exchange).
 Very pleased with Garmin nüvi 750 March 21, 2008

After reading reviews all over the internet, I decided to get the Nuvi 750 despite many reports of problems with acquiring a satellite signal. The first thing I did when I received my unit was to update the firmware with the very user friendly Garmin WebUpdater tool. After it applied all the updates I took it outside and it took approx. 2 1/2 minutes to acquire signal. After that, everytime I power on the device, it goes through the loading maps... and then it takes only 15 to 30 seconds max. to acquire signal. On a side note, I have been playing with the media player, and the FM transmitter is ok. It performs just as well as most of the FM transmitters I have used in the past for Ipods and portable media players. I would highly recommend the Nuvi 750 to friends and family. Also, be aware that the nuvi 750 DOES NOT come with Bluetooth functionality as the product title implies.
For me, better than 760. March 20, 2008
Like many others, I researched vigorously to decide on which garmin device would be best for me. I chose wisely. The nuvi 750 has a very quick satellite bootup process and is easy and intuitive to navigate. Like others have posted, you have to hit the "back" key numerous times to get to the main screen, instead of simply hitting one button. I have not tried the routing feature yet.
My biggest debate was between the 750 and 760 (with traffic receiver - which looks like a cigarette plug, not build into the unit). I struggled with the $110 price difference, but the free receiver (which normally costs about $160) was tempting. Although the 760 comes with 3 months of free traffic, it's $60/yr after that. I was not interested in bluetooth, after reading the poor reviews, so it was really a matter of traffic or no traffic.
I find myself using the Nuvi device most when I am NOT in my own backyard. In fact, I listen to traffic reports on the radio and get all that I need when I'm close to home. I know these roadways so well that I don't need to develop a dependency on other electronics. However, I use the Nuvi when I'm further away from home, which is exactly where the traffic receiver does not work.
Overall, I'm very happy with the product I chose. If the traffic timeliness improves, I could always buy the separate adapter. I feel that for $363 (a week ago), I am able to justify my purchase much easier.
Works pretty well, im satisfied March 19, 2008
I had been researching navigation systems for about 6 months when I finally settled on this one in December 2007. So far I've only used it approx 10 times mostly in areas with lots of overhead trees and wooded-like areas where my cellphone loses its signal but this unit kept strong and got me to my destination. During my initial tests I've noticed that it takes some odd turns to get to places that I normally go, dont know if that's because it chooses streets with easier traffic patterns or what but several times I intentionally went off route due those "unnecessary turns", with the unit recalculating pretty quickly. This unit was originally around $800 and I got it under $500 so im very happy....
