New Features -- Where Am I? Where's My Car? The nuevi 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 nuevi 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 nuevi 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 nuevi to any bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nuevi'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 nuevi'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.

Garmin 760 nuviOctober 10, 2008 I've been using this for about a month now. It's been an invaluable aid to navigation in that time, as I recently moved to a new area.
The heart of the GPS is its direction finding capability. It gives clear, concise directions, which are also displayed on the map, as well as spoken. The directions have not yet been wrong, although they may not always give you the route that you would normally think to use if you knew the way. The only problem I have seen is that when inputting an address for the GPS to find for you, it tends to undershoot the exact address. It's not a problem, as when I went looking for a specific address, I ended up so close that I could find the store on my own. You can later input the exact location as a favorite and name it so that it doesn't happen again.
Some side features that are useful follow. The distance to the next turn or waypoint is always displayed on the bottom right, and pushing that will bring up more information about your route. Your ETA is displayed in the bottom left (using speed limits for calculation, so stopping at a red or speeding will change the time), pushing on that will give you information about your driving (speed, avg speed, max speed, distance traveled, etc). Finally, it has both an internal memory and an SD card slot for mp3s, locations, etc. I haven't used the bluetooth, so I can't comment on that. The traffic locator I don't find too useful with so little traffic here, but it does tell me when I should expect a problem, and the GPS allows me to detour to avoid.
nuvi 760October 10, 2008 This gps unit is very easy to use and is packed with features. The screen is fantastic. The only things that I do not like so far is that the FM modulator could be better. Sound quality is not good at all and it cannot see many of the songs I put on the sd card. Also, the suction cup that the unit mounts to is quite week and tends to fall off especially when there is temperature change. This being said, the main function of the gps is to guide you from one point to another. In this area the 760 excels.
Great GPSOctober 9, 2008 Purchased this unit as a refurbished. I would have never known. Shipping was fast and the price was great. Only issue I have is now the nuvi 765 is now out and I could use the actual lane navigation assistance at times. Great product!
Not bad at all but room for improvementOctober 9, 2008 Just received the 760 and have had it for about a week. I too have noticed that the voice prompts are delayed a bit. I recommend looking at the map and the highlighted route that it prescribes and preparing yourself for the actual turn/exit. Therefore when the voice prompt comes up, you'll know that you made the right turn haha. One less star rating for the voice prompt delay.
Also note to prospective buyers, CHECK THE GARMIN SITE FOR SUPPORTED CELL PHONES FOR THE BLUETOOTH FEATURE!!! I just figured since my phone was pretty new and had just bought it this past summer (LG Venus), I thought it would connect just fine. Unfortunately, my phone is not compatible with the bluetooth connectivity so one less star for that.
Looking past these two cons, the gps unit is pretty solid. Connecting to the satellite and recalculating routes when you go off the recommended path are pretty quick. We're talking about mere seconds and you're up and running. The maps, colors, display, touch functionality, and overall design are well made. The most important part of a gps unit is the ability to give you directions and get you from A to B in a timely and efficient matter. The 760 will do just that and thus deserves a 3/5 rating!
Good navigation, delayed turn promptsOctober 9, 2008 The Garmin Nuvi does a fine job of giving directions from place A to B, but it's voice prompts are delayed. So it'll tell me to turn after I already passed the point where I need to turn. What's the point of having a GPS that doesn't provide directions in a timely manner?
