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..

and a 4.3-inch diagonal widescreen
4.3-inch screen

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
TMC traffic service coverage map
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

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's own navigation is easy to use

Beyond Navigation

5 out of 5 stars Nuvi 760   July 4, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Great Product. Used a 4GB HDSD card for music in an 8 hour trip to Orlando. Nuvi was accurate with directions to attractions, addresses to friends, however, a bit outdated on a few of the ATM locations. In all, a very versatile product that can play music, audio books, or used as a mini album to view pictures.


5 out of 5 stars Garmin nuvi 760 is great   July 3, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The Garmin nuvi 760 is truly idiot-proof. The touch screen is easy to use. The imagery is amazingly useful. The color contrasts work in most lighting. Having now used the device about 10 times, the navigational system only failed once. For some reason, the system could identify the place (restaurant and address) but couldn't give directions. But, when I put in the address, it found the restaurant right away. I like this Garmin nuvi 760 way better than what is in the Prius (our other car).


4 out of 5 stars Navigation (fine) Cell Phone Bluetooth usage (poor)   July 3, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is a bit daunting to set up and access and the features, but worth the trouble. Sadly, like so many products today there is no manual included in the box. It must be downloaded from the Garmin Web site and comes to 60 pages. It's a must have by the way.

The Bluetooth sound quality with my Verizon LG 8300 cell phone was absolutely useless for me. I stress "for me" because it may work better for others. I am in Los Angeles. If you can and it's important to you, try that before you buy.

Downloading and installing a 2009 newer map, while free, took about six hours with a relatively high speed connection. However, I found nothing wrong with the older map that had been factory installed.

A law in California is still pending to allow GPS units to be installed on the windshield but looks assured of passing in the near future. Meanwhile, you must find a way to place it on the dash. A mounting disk is included that may be glued there but contains a warning that it may disfigure that part of the dash if removal is attempted.




4 out of 5 stars Nuvi 760 Review   July 3, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I have been using Garmin GPS units for over ten years now; my first unit was a GPS12. I have been very happy with every unit I have owned so far. The Nuvi 760 is no exception.

Prior to the Nuvi 760 I used a GPSMAP 60Cx for all of my on and off road requirements. The 60Cx works well for vehicle navigation with the City Navigator maps loaded. The main disadvantage are that the rocker control is sometimes awkward and the on-screen keyboard can be frustrating to use as a result. Also, the lack of voice prompts made it somewhat useless without a navigator. The Nuvi 760 resolved all of those issues.

I have only been using the Nuvi 760 for a few weeks now but am generally happy with the performance. There are only a few things I would like to see done differently/better. I would like the ability to control the range for searching for services (i.e. only look for gas within one mile etc.) and sorting (i.e. distance, alphabetical, etc.). I would also like layering control for the maps (i.e. ability to layer topographic map information and City Navigator maps) rather than one or the other (this issue is not isolated to the 760). As a minor improvement it would be nice to have better controls for the media player and the ability to delete media files from the unit.

Overall I am happy with the unit and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good on-road GPS.

I just received this product from Amazon yesterday. I was a little leary to purchase this through Amazon due to the reviews/comments regarding updating the maps and such. I have bought numerous items from Amazon.com. I have never had any problems. And this time wasn't any different. The update for the maps was smooth, took forever, but no problems whatsoever. We haven't traveled on a trip yet but we used it to "navigate" to work today and we LOVE it! It has wonderful features. I researched which model met our needs and this is everything I expected it to be and needed it to be. So don't let the negative feedback about Amazon.com sway you from buying this from them. It is a great savings to get it from them and the Garmin website is easy to navigate and register and update the product.
