Just got it and have found it to save me time and gas. I travel many midwestern & southern states and find it sometimes takes me on different routes than I'm used to. All in all it has saved me time and gas money.For the price an excellent purchase. I like the voice calling out the streets so I can concentrate on the road.
How incredible is that. And even in very remote areas, it still offers tons of places for lodging, restaurants, and attractions, and more and more.
After receiving the unit, I just could not wait to try it on my trip to Slugger Museum and Louisville Zoo, the two places we are completely unfamiliar with and had never been to. The GPS led us to our destinations and did its job beautifully.
I ordered nuvi 760 this Tuesday, and got it on Thursday. The points of interest installed in this unit are also amazing.
I also found that this unit is made in Taiwan, and to my knowledge, products made in Taiwan are always high quality guaranteed, and this unit is absolutely no exception. Another big plus is the interface is really user-friendly, and even my 7-year-old son can operate it, not to mention his fourth-grade brother.
This saves me a lot of time from researching tour books and maps. I highly recommend this unit to those families who love to travel and explore new places.
I found the TTS voices are not as loud and are distorted and not as clear at high volumes.I returned the new Navigon 7200T. you can only add the phone number in the unit's Favorites, no address, state, zip, suite #, etc.Paying more money for a unit should not have the developers subtract a nice feature that was in a less expensive unit, a feature to let you customize the way the Waypoint in your Favorites reads.
Wider screen is very nice. Other features are about the same.
Stepped up from a NUVI 360. Then.
The one thing that bothers me (and I've contacted Garmin, who said that's the way it is), is that if you have found a POI and you want to make a Waypoint of it and dump it into the unit, it will NOT allow you to import the Comment. (phone number, address, state, zip) to your Favorites.In other words, you can only import the name of the Waypoint.
Otherwise, I like the unit and will stick with the English, instead of the English Emily TTS. I feel it was a lot of hype and not as many useful features as Garmin.
I recently purchased the 760 and I really like it. For the most part it gets me where I'm going very nicely. I wish the 760 had this feature, or at least make the POIs more readily accessible. The blue tooth connectivity works really well, it hooked up with my Blackberry Pearl very easily with no problem at all. Over all I like this unit a lot it would be excellent if Garmin made the FM transmitter stronger. Unfortunately, the FM transmitter is just a little weak, consequently there is a little too much background white noise and interference. The larger screen is really nice. There are a lot of Points of Interest, but it takes just a little digging to get to them unlike my older and much cheaper MIO which floats POIs such as gas stations and hotel icons right across the screen to let you know that they are up ahead.
For the most part the maps are pretty good, but of all the things it has my own home address wrong, it's about 4 houses off. I downloaded the latest maps and it still didn't fix the problem. The mounting bracket has a swivel knuckle that works very good which makes the bracket quite sturdy. I do recommend this unit.
this is a beautiful machine, you will never get lost again, you you will feel safe on the road, i took a trip 300 miles away without knowing where i was going, i got there and back without an itch, i strongly recommend it
