 More problems appear after you work with it a while.... August 14, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have had the unit for 6 months and bought it for a move to a new place where I would have to be driving to many unfamiliar locations. For the most part, the multipoint routing and such works OK, although the steps to program all the points seems more tedious than it needs to be. And then I started finding strange things, like a major Southern California post office that had been built seven years ago in a large town is not in the database (the post office on Hovely in Palm Desert). A 5-year-old home address I tried to find was not to be found -- not even the street it was built on, and that was in central Tucson.
To make matters worse, after owning it for only 6 months, I get an email that to get the updated 2009 database, presumably containing all the points that should have been there all along, I am supposed to pay another $70 on top of the $430 I paid when it came out? C'mon! At least give free updates for a year!! At least it costs less to buy the upgrade from Amazon than from Garmin.
Satellite reception definitely improved with the software updates, but is still sluggish sometimes even with sunny, unrestricted skies - or can't locate satellites at all. And strangely it often asks me to do unnecessary things like drive past my destination, sometimes half a mile farther, do a U-turn and return a half a mile back again to turn right into a parking lot -- when a simple left turn would have done just fine.
Now that the first excitement of the device has worn off and I have had enough time to see all these quirks, overall I am underwhelmed. The device itself (hardware, aesthetics, durability, etc.) is good but the software is not up to par, and a GPS is only as good as its software. A price of $250 with at least a year of free upgrades would seem a better value.

Just got back from 1st trip with a Garmin 750. Locked on to sat. with in a few seconds (20 sec longest). very clear voice with directions(and I am hard of hearing). I tend to take side trips the unit rerouted me back on track every time very fast. I had no problems and was very pleased with the 750.

Great Product. Does all that the manufacturer claimed it could do and does it satisfactorily. With my additional house charger and external antenna, I can't ask for more.
Only disappointment was that it was not loaded with the 2008 maps - comes with 2007.

Garmin 760 GPS - It's wonderful. Got us through local streets and unnamed roads to our destination with no problems. Simple to install and use, and the owner's manual is understandable. I love it!

I am very pleased with the performance of the unit. Menus are intuitive and voice prompted directions are clear but be sure to choose an FM frequency that is not close to any current radio stations in the area. The display is easy to read and well lighted.
