 agree with more of you but... July 25, 2008

most of the positive reviews are pretty fair but my recent trip to boston made me a believer of the dude who had issues about missing turns and not so acurrate routes. went to visit a sick relative at mass general. i was a bit too confident after the 760 did so well in PA a few weeks earlier. well, needless to say, the 760 was not very acurrate. i missed turn after turn after turn. the device was lost, it went into a loop--"recalculating again and again. gave the 760 the benefit of the doubt and deem it an isolated incident (it was a bit tricky navigating thru some very tight streets). the next day we went to north andover to visit a friend, again we missed turn after turn, the 760 was late in telling us to turn. hopefully it's just MA it has a problem with. if it happens again, im returning it.

I like the unit functionality and the features. It seems to work just fine. I travel a good bit due to my job and it helps to find my way around in strange cities.
Bullet List of What Isn't Good July 25, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Lots of reviews here that cover the bases. So I'll limit this to a bullet list of some items I found annoying:
1. Hands free calling is not as good as my BlueAnt gizmo. Callers on other end said my voice sounded muddy and uneven. When I tried the Garmin 670, callers on the other end preferred it. But overall the Blue Ant was best.
2. The speaker on the 760 is tinnier than on the Garmin 670 and annoying. The 670 is a thicker model, and I suppose they were able to fit a better speaker. If you're just using maps and guidance this is not a big deal. But if you use hands free dialing, it is terrible.
3. I disagree with another post about the font. I think the font on the 670 is sharper and easier to read than on the 760 model. Much of the time (not always) the font is larger on the 670 model.
4. The MP3 on both models is rudimentary at best. The playlist function does not work very well.
5. The supposed ability to play sound through the FM is a joke. Neither unit works well enough to use...ever. Sometimes nothing comes through. When sound does show up, it is scratchy and irritating beyond belief. If Garmin is going to list this as a feature, they need to go back to the drawing table. As of now, the implementation of this feature is pathetic.
6. Both the 760 and the 670 lock GPS about the same speed...perhaps the 760 is a touch faster...but not to the extent anyone would really notice.
7. 760 is thinner and doesn't need to open the antenna. So it is much easier to use in pedestrian mode. On the 670 with the GPS antenna up, it's tough to fit the unit in your pocket. So pedestrian mode isn't realistic on the 670.
8. Garmin got ridiculously cheap on the 760 with respect to accessories. NO AC Adapter; no disk for PDF Help file; no case. All three are standard on the 670 model.
Garmin's Maps and POI are both great. The guidance works very well. So bottom line, is that it is the hands free phone use, playing sound through FM and MP3 that I'm critical of.

Works as advertised. Especially like the route recalculation feature. Would recommend this GPS to anyone.

The Garmin Nuvi 760 is all I thought it would be. The bluetooth works well, the speaker is loud enough to hear over the music (with an option to listen through my FM radio), and I have been able to find all locations that I have searched for. The only CON is that it keeps the name of crossing streets on the screen about 50 feet or so past the actual street. Once you get used to that quirk, it's all good.
