Amazon.com Product Description -- January 8, 2008 Garmin's nüvi 700 series brings two exciting new features -- multi-destination routing and, "Where am I?/Where's my car?" -- to its popular pocket-sized GPS navigator lineup. As with all nüvis, you get Garmin reliability, the fast satellite lock of an integrated high-sensitivity receiver, a slim, pocket-sized design with a gorgeous display, an easy, intuitive interface, and detailed NAVTEQ maps for the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico with more than 6 million name-searchable points of interest. All of the 700-series navigators also feature a rich array of features including spoken directions in real street names, MP3 player and photo viewer, and an FM transmitter that will play voice prompts, MP3s, audio books, and more, directly through your vehicle's stereo system. The nüvi 760 and 770 add integrated traffic receivers and Bluetooth capability for hands-free calling. The nüvi 770 adds maps for Europe. The nüvi 780 adds enhanced MSN direct content capability.. Which nüvi is Best for You?: Click here to see a quick, simple comparison of features for all Garmin nuvi GPS navigators  Garmin's nüvis pack top of the line features into a slim form factor. | Wider screen lets you see more of what's around. Compare these actual size views of a 3-inch (diagonal) screen  and a 4.3-inch diagonal widescreen  | New Features -- Where Am I? Where's My Car? The nüvi 700 series is the first to answer two common questions: "Where am I?" and "Where's my car?" At any time, with a single tap of the screen, drivers can display their exact latitude and longitude coordinates, the nearest address and intersection, and the closest hospitals, police stations and gas stations. And to help drivers find their car in an unfamiliar spot or vast parking lot, all nüvi 700s automatically mark the position in which they were last removed from the mount. New Features -- Multi-Destination Routing This lets you enter several spots into the device (day care - supermarket-cleaners - office - day care, for example) and it will plot the fastest route. And once you've found the best router, the "Route Planning" feature lets you save up to 10 different routes, Garmin touts the feature for providing, "the most efficient route for errands, deliveries and sales calls." The feature also makes this an instant essential accessory for anyone who shops garage sales (you know what we're talking about). A trip log provides an electronic bread crumb trail of up to 10,000 points, so you can see where you've been on the map. See Better, See More The super-bright, 4.3-inch (diagonal) touchscreen display gives is anti-glare for ease of viewing during the day and automatically changes its color profile for easy viewing at night or in dim light. It offers 2d or 3D perspective views. The widescreen format gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push. First Rate Map Data All nüvi 700s come preloaded with highly detailed City Navigator NT road maps for the entire United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. This map database features nearly six million points of interest (POIs), including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping. Important note about map updates: Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our Garmin Store. Hands-Free Calling In more and more places, it is becoming illegal to use cell phones while driving without a hands-free kit. WIth Bluetooth capability, microphone and speaker, you can match your nüvi to any bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nüvi's touch screen keypad to make a call on a compatible phone. To answer an incoming call, just tap the screen and speak into the built-in microphone. Making and taking calls on the road has never been easier, or safer. In addition, Garmin makes it a breeze to look-up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or even tap into your cell phone's call history log. Integrated FM Traffic Receiver  | Steer clear of traffic with an integrated FM traffic receiver designed to receive alerts from TMC Clear Channel about traffic tie-ups and road construction that might lie ahead on your route. All you have to do is simply touch the screen to view traffic details and you'll be ready to detour around any problem area. And if you end up missing a turn, or you're forced into a detour that is not relayed through the traffic receiver, the nüvi's sophisticated automatic routing will get you back on track in no time. In most areas, TMC Clear Channel traffic broadcasts are continuous there's no waiting for scheduled traffic news updates or random alerts. Because traffic broadcasts are received via a "silent" FM data channel, you can still listen to music or news programming on your car radio without interference from incoming FM traffic data transmissions. A 3-month subscription to TMC Clear Channel's Total Traffic Network is included with purchase of this device. For more information on subscription fees, coverage in individual cities, and traffic data networks in the United Kingdom and Europe, check the Garmin website. | Garmin Lock Garmin's patent pending theft prevention system that disables the unit from performing any functions until the user types in a specific 4-digit PIN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location Easy To Use Interface Garmin's interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about your trip. Beyond Navigation  Browse your stored pictures with an easy-to-use JPEG viewer. | A handy MP3 player lets you play songs stored on SD memory cards. | nüvi 250W accepts custom points of interest (POIs). View larger. | Navigation is just the beginning. All nüvi 700s feature travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, MP3 player, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. They are also compatible with optional content plug-ins available via SD card, such as the Garmin Travel Guides and Garmin SaversGuide provide detailed data for attractions and information on nearby merchants offering discounts, so you can customize your nüvi for all your travel needs. Garmin has also added the ability for customers to add custom points of interest (POI's) from third parties such as school zones and safety cameras. Trick Your GPS Ride Custom vehicle icons let you ride in style, at least inside your GPS. See more icon options | All nüvis support configurable vehicle icons. These fun, customized car-shaped icons come in a variety of colors to add a personal touch to your vehicle's position on the map. | What's in the Box nüvi 760, Preloaded City Navigator NT for North America, FM traffic receiver with vehicle power cable, 3-month subscription to TMC real-time traffic services, Vehicle suction cup mount, USB cable, Dashboard disc, Quick start manual Notes - Optional software for language translation, detailed travel guides, and savings programs allow you to customize your nüvi to fit your travel needs

Love This Item September 6, 2008 I'm coming off owning a Magellan GPS. The difference between the Garmin Nuvi and the old Magellan I had is night and day. The Garmin is fast and accurate and has taught me ways around traffic I didn't know existed (I drive to L.A. frequently from O.C.). It also works as well as the White Pages when you're trying to locate a business. Two thumbs up.
Dysfunction and lack of service September 6, 2008 I recently decided to "step up" from my TomTom One to the promise of the Garmin Nuvi 760. I was particularly motivated by the intrinsic traffic features of the Nuvi 760. However, I'm sadly disappointed in the 760 for the following reasons:
* Required two hours of online updates (on a high-speed T1 connection)--which were convoluted and not intuitive. * The Nuvi failed to function correctly on the road. After five minutes, the maps quit redrawing. * Though it seemed apparent the failure was due to a corrupt map or installed software, there was no way to do a complete reinstall online. * I emailed Garmin via their (hard to find) online service. To do so, I had to provide a good deal of information, including the software version installed on my Nuvi. When I finally heard back from Garmin (days later), they asked what software version I had installed--though my own data, included in their follow-up message clearly listed this information. * When I provided this information to the Garmin representative (again), the response was, "What software version are you running? We have had trouble with one of our updates. We are working on a fix for this software and will release soon. Thank you for contacting Garmin International." Excuse me? So, I have a brand new Nuvi 760 which I am unable to use, and the response is that I have to wait for a software update? Not good.
Thank goodness for Amazon's fantastic customer service. They provided a replacement Nuvi--which has an older software release installed and works fine. But I am not impressed with Garmin; and if I had it to do again, I would stick with TomTom.
Garmin tech support excellent September 5, 2008 Hi all,
I just got my Garmin Nuvi 760 and it's wonderful. It did not come with the 2009 city map upgrade but Garmin tech support unlocked the update online and walked me thru all the steps to complete the process. I also updated all relavent software as well. This unit works, so far, as advertized. One thing though, you should take the time to set this unit up before you take it on a road trip. I downloaded and looked through the entire owner's manual. Then called Garmin tech support when I thought I needed too. I never had to wait longer than 18 minutes. Connected my Iphone via Bluetooth and all is working well. Have not played with the card slot yet, but I'm looking into Garmin's Audio Books.
I will keep updating this review as I go along
Enjoy
Better Than a Map or Built in GPS September 5, 2008 My job has me traveling frequently by plane to many cities in the U.S. The portability of this GPS is what makes it so useful. If you have a GPS built into your car you can't really travel with it. Before my trips I save the addresses of my customers along with restaurants, airports, car rental returns, hotels or other locations so that I can find my way between any of them at any time. You can also have the GPS plan the best route for your entire day. The 760 gives you turn by turn visual and voice directions so you can keep your eyes on the road.
Even though I updated the maps to the 2009 version, I still run into areas of new construction that are not in the unit. You need to use common sense and follow the road signs. Sometimes it has trouble distinguishing between a highway and adjacent service road, but again no big deal just use common sense. If you miss a turn, or a detour takes you out of the planned route, the GPS immediately recalculates a new route. It provides an estimated time of arrival at destination and gives you information on traffic delays. It also displays the speed limit of the current road.
My biggest complaint is the sound quality of the hands free Blue Tooth phone link. It works best when you link the unit through the FM radio to hear it through the speakers, but then you can't listen to any local programming and you have to fiddle with it as you travel to avoid being tuned into an active station. I have chosen not to use this feature on the GPS and instead bought a separate portable hands free Blue Tooth for my phone.
It is a very useful tool for getting you from place to place and I would not travel without it.
Garmin Nuvi 760 September 5, 2008 I recently purchase the Garmin 760 GPS found it very easy to used. Great for finding new locations and with thousands POI finding local resturants is a breeze. The best option is the real time traffic reporting, this GPS notifies me abput traffic backup location on by daily commute and alternative ways to get around the jams. A real time saver..
