Some kinks, but still fun to use September 15, 2008

I've almost become dependent on my Nuvi. I use it for everything - especially to find restaurants, ATMs, etc. in unfamiliar areas. It's so much fun! I even switched the voiceover to a male British voice (there are several English speaking voices to choose from as well as other languages). I just took a trip to Indianapolis and it worked wonderfully. The only problem was that it took too long to 'acquire satellites' a few times. Once, I had to stop the process b/c it took too long. I wasn't near tall buildings, either, but in the suburbs. My friend used her Magellan to get us to our destination with no problem.
Having the system use street names to tell you where to turn is a useful feature. I also like the multi-destination feature which really helps me in my real estate business while showing houses to clients. The graphics are great and you can pick the level of detail (more detail will list all your favorite locations and home) along with more street detail.
My favorite feature is that you have the option of using the QWERTY keyboard - so much easier than the default straight alphabet system.
Customer service is also great. I got my free 2009 map downloads after a little bit of computer trouble (my computer's fault) - but they instructed me on how to bypass the computer trouble.
All in all a good choice. I also bought the portable friction mount as I did not want to use the suction cup system that comes with the product (too obvious to thieves). The fricion mount is an EXCELLENT alternative! I highly recommend it, along with an Invisibleshield (a screen protector).
Also, I went online and downloaded the user manual, which is MUCH better than the mini-manual Garmin sends you.
 Love it! September 15, 2008
Love the portability. It is very up to date and we don't know how we survived without it!
Don't believe all reviews September 14, 2008
This is a great piece of equipment. We have used the Garmin 760 several times and have fount that it is quite acurate. Some of the reviews read indicated that the FM reciever was not of good quality. We found that if you are willing to take a few minutes to ensure the you locate the appropriate station the reciever works just fine. We have used the Garmin in the car and on foot and was directed to the correct point of interest. The time lines given are acurate as well. We have been very satisfied with the Garmin and would recommend to others.
Garmin Nuvi 760 September 14, 2008
I recently purchased the nuvi 760 and overall am pleased with it. I had been using a Street Pilot III so the 760 is a step up. I also have a GPS in my Honda and the Garmin product is much better than the system which Honda uses. Like most products, the 760 is not perfect. I do enjoy the large screen and blue tooth capability. The 760 is easy to remove from its cradle and easy to carry. The features which are lacking or need improving include the lack of a scale as you zoom in and out of the map, the lack of a clock on the map page, and the fact that you have to constantly hit "back" to go from a sub-menu to the main menu page and back to the map. You also have to go back to the main menu if you want to use the blue tooth phone mode although you can dial from your phone.
The routing feature works well and the 3 dimensional view is better than the traditional 2 dimensional view of the Street Pilot. I recommend this product to anyone looking for a GPS.
great product September 14, 2008
I have had this fornabout 5 weeks, and I love it. It is very good at updating where you are and recalculates instantly if you make a wrong turn. I have tried 2 other brands and sent them back because they had poor navagation or was very hard to work. Amazon is a great company to deal with will use them in the furture.
