 Not bad for the price June 23, 2008

Pros-
Price 299.99 @ Sams Club, user friendly interface, downloadable maps from Google, Mp3 player, more than one text to speech voice to chose from, bright display, changeable direction indicators, a language guide, calculator, currency and unit converter, picture viewer, the ability to create routes, FM transmitter, a generous amount of POI's and MSN direct for traffic and weather something that I will use when I order the adapter. I am a Correctional Officer who transports inmates and I need a above average gps unit to rely on.
Cons- no bluetooth, no way to change the routes once the are made by detouring of bypassing certain roads you dont want to travel. weak battery time, I can get about 2 hours per charge. no carry case and house charger. Living in Maryland I use the beltway alot I 97,95,70,100,301,295,695,450,495, and route 50 I can cover the entire on some days the biggest knock against this unit is when I have to go to Baltimore city or county or any place in western Maryland the unit always always takes me up Rt. 2 to Rt. 100 to get to I 97, for those who has never travel this streach of road it is a see of red lights from one end to the other. I also have a Mio C520 Which I love , when it makes the routes for the forementioned routes it always takes me off of Rt. 50 directly to I 97, when I take them on the road together the Mio always gives me the shortest and quickest routes, so I use the Mio for work and the garmin for pleasure. The units have some of the same features, the Mio has bluetooth and I can download my contacts from my Microsoft Outlook, overall I give the Garmin Nuvi 750 a 3 because of no bluetooth, wall charger, case, and user applied detours to change the intended travel route, other than that I would buy another Garmin and would recomend this unit to others because there is no "Holy Grail" of gps units all I can say is you as a consumer knows what features and how much you want to spend so happy hunting.
 Excellent unit with out-of-date map version June 21, 2008
The Garmin 750 works very well in places where my Garmin C320 will not work at all (in particular, in a Toyota Highlander Hybrid, whose electronic environment confuses the earlier Garmin unit).
I downloaded current firmware for the unit from the Garmin support site, and have had no trouble whatever with signal aquisition and strength, both of which are outstanding compared with earlier GPS units I have used.
Unfortunately, the unit arrived with Garmin's 2008 mapset. While this would seem current in June of 2008, Garmin, like many periodical publishers, dates its mapsets in advance. The current Garmin mapset is the 2009 version, which Garmin's registration site helpfully offered to sell me for only $70 or so.
Annual versions of roadmaps are out-of-date the moment they are released, so to receive a new unit with an immediate offer to update it to current status at extra cost is puzzling. Fortunately, Amazon has now issued me credit for the new version.
If you want an excellent GPS unit, and are willing to pay extra for a current mapset, the Garmin 750 is a good choice.
750 Garmin A NEW ADVENTURE June 21, 2008
More than expected with all the MENU options. Being portable, I am using it in a friends car for a trip today. All those street that I pass now have names and it gives me a better perspective as a Realtor. I recommend it! Claire

I'm very pleased with the GPS and its performance. I was disappointed that the box did not contain a carrying case which is a must have when you put it away. Not having a fold out antenna is a good thing. I have tried to buy an additional mount (not a suction cup, but the clip that the GPS attaches to) and they are hard to locate. Screen size is perfect and no problems with seeing the images in sunlight.

Overall, I give this product an 8 on a 1-10 scale. It is easy to use, but lacks features which I had on my five year old Lowrance. It does NOT display altitude, or destination.
In fact, you have no control over what is displayed on the map screen except for zooming in or out. This is a step backward in technology inasmuch that five or more years ago, you had choices to display many items, including the screen's text size, on the map screen. The Nuvi 750 gives you none. On the plus side, it is intuitively easy to navigate after a fairly short learning curve for which icon produces which screens. Size-wise, it is a great improvement over the old models, and is much easier to mount and dismount.
