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.

Easy to use and reliableOctober 13, 2008 This is my first GPS and I was surprised how easy it was to use the Garmin nuvi 760. Took it on a recent trip to northern Wisconsin and was grateful that it was so reliable because all those county roads can be so confusing.
Garmin 760 EvaluationOctober 13, 2008 Unit seems to operate very well, however the VOICE instructions are .2 to .3 miles (late) when moving at interstate speeds. On surface streets the instructions are still late, but this is a very small error to overcome. Takes some getting used to. Spoken street names are very helpful. The printed display is right on and correct in every way as far as I can tell. Very good! Recalculation is very speedy and accurate. Good user interface, very friendly. Great display. All in all an excellent unit. For the update, would suggest getting the CD, as the time required over the internet is very long.
very happyOctober 13, 2008 Very happy with this product. Lots of great features. Bluetooth doesn't work terrific yet but maybe I was in a bad area.
Lousy MP3 playerOctober 12, 2008 Don't get me wrong. I love this GPS. But the reason I bought the 760 was to get an MP3 player that supports SD cards. I'm tired of lugging around my expensive CD collection and wanted to leave the CD's at home and bring my music along on SD cards. For some unknown reason, MP3 players NEVER support external memory.
All I can say is that I hope Garmin someday pays as much attention to the MP3 player as they did to the GPS, because the MP3 player is crap.
Can you imagine a music player that insists on playing Sgt. Pepper in alphabetical order? Or if you say you want to hear some Beatles, it gives you a list of every song from every Beatle album, in ALPHABETICAL ORDER? The guy who wrote this thing either has a tin ear, or he's some teenager who get's all his music one top-40 song, a buck at a time from iTunes. It's an embarrassment.
And the other thing is that it ONLY supports MP3 format. Naturally, all my music is ripped to WMA, since it's a far superior format. So I downloaded a converter and kicked off a conversion of my entire WMA library to MP3. 8 hour's later it finished, but what previously fit into 1.5 gigabytes would now not fit on an 8G SD card. So I had to reduce the bit rate until I found a rate that produced something I could stand to listen to and also fit into 8G. And then I discovered the lousy MP3 player.
The best thing Garmin could do would be to get MS to port Windows Media Player to the Nuvi. I'd actually pay for the download.
Oh, and by the way, the other thing that made the Nuvi so attractive was the built-in FM transmitter. I don't know why they bothered. It's so low-powered that the sound quality is useless for music.
I'll give them one thing -- they make a great GPS. But I could have got that great GPS for a whole lot less money if I'd known the MP3 player and FM transmitter weren't worth paying extra for.
Garmin Nuvi 750October 12, 2008 Great product. My first GPS, decided to get one after using my brother's older Garmin Nuvi. Does everything I need and more. Settled on it after reading reviews on dozens of GPS products. Paired easily with my cell phone, address book was right there to use. First use was driving to and from Laughlin NV from Yuma AZ and it worked perfectly. Great price at Amazon.com, the reviews on it were spot on. If you're shopping for one, or want to upgrade, can't go wrong with the item or with Amazon's price. Enjoy!
