Nuvi 760 2008-05-02
The first nuvi 760 I recieved worked for 3 days then the screen froze up. Kudo's to Amazon on the speed and hassel free replacement. 2nd unit has been great with no problems. The software doesn't always take me the way I would go when leaving my home but, The destinations have always been right on target. The traffic alerts have been very good also.


Garmin nuvi 760 2008-05-02
This nuvi DOES NOT WORK WITH MY MAC. I was unable to use the storage (MP3 player, photos, user points of interest, etc.) because it would not talk to my Mac. I could load but never unload MP3 files. I sent Garmin emails but they never responded. The map software was at least two years out of date for my area (SF Bay). Stores, roads, malls, etc. were not in the database. The Bluetooth worked well and was easy to use, but the sound could not go through the car speakers unless you were listening to something from the nuvi. If you were listening to the radio the phone did not go through the speakers.


ALL IN ALL A GOOD PRODUCT 2008-04-28
I am happy over all with this product. Though I think for such a pricey item there would be a little more attention to detail. When you decide to pay the extra money for a "better" piece of equipment, you should expect to recieve just that. This is one of the most expensive GPS recievers and i have noteds the following quirks...
1) Volume: Its not loud enough by any means. If you have your radio on even the slightest bit you wont hear the dings and whatnot.
2) Ample time for notification: This device seems to get confused at times. Though I can only compare to one other model as far as portable models go, I had to slow down and really listen getting back from the airport last month.
3) Confusion AGAIN! Since this was a present for my girlfriend, it is of course in her car to replace the one that got stolen. It brought her down a dead end and told her to drive into the woods. Good thing she hadnt been drinking right?!?
4) With the speaker.. it also crackles... and hard to use bluetooth.. if you place it right it works though
Other than that its very user friendly... Calculates lightning fast in comparison with other handhelds. nice map detail... Long battery life after a good charge... Gives good directions and you get to choose from a few different voices with the stock program. Please note I dont know how long it was boxed before I made the purchase. And I havent do


Could be the best investment in electronics. 2008-04-28
I sold my Garmin Nuvi 360 to get this 760 and for the most part I am satisfied however I miss my Nuvi 360's WAAS enabled accuracy. Pressing and holding the signal bar will show you the accuracy of the satellites determining your position and a side by side comparison with my friends 360 confirms the 360 always shows around 6-12 feet accuracy while my 760 since theres no option available to enable WAAS shows 15-24 feet accuracy. WAAS may already be enabled in the 760.....and it may be since it doesnt have a flip antenna like the 360 that the accuracy is less... however rubberbanding (please search google for rubberbanding on Nuvi's for further info)along with less accuracy may deter one away from this product which otherwise takes you just a few feet away from where ever you may want to go.


Overall a good product. 2008-04-27
This product was easy to use. Most controls and settings were intuitive but it should have come with a preprinted manual. You could download and print the manual but for the cost it should have been included. It worked as stated most of the time. It was able to find not only the address you were looking for but could also locate many nearby restaurants, gas stations, churches, lodgings and attractions quickly. Rarely, it had the wrong map at the street level. Its biggest fault was that it would not let you change the route that it had picked. It generally picked the best route, even better than you could do by looking at a map, but you could not alter this route without changing your destination. Overall a good product which I would purchase again.

Garmin Nuvi 760-GREAT! 2008-05-06
The Nuvi 760 is a great navigation unit. I have owned it for appx. 3 months. It offers all of the options that are available. The Bluetooth feature works with more phones than are on the list. Very easy to use. Self explanitory. The only fault that I have is that there is not an external volume control.


nuvi 760 GPS- awesome! 2008-05-06
This device was my first portable GPS. I am so impressed with how easy it was to install ( Just turn it on!). I downloaded a newer map and exchanged the car for a tank on the screen. The satellite links are quick, the instructions come fast, it says street names and I haven't been so impressed with a product for a long time. I read other reviews talking about the bluetooth is not very clear... I don't care. Its irrelevant. I'll use that as much as I use the MP3 player or picture viewer.. (Never). The GPS has a beautiful easy to read screen and is more accurate than device in my Infinity G35. My only gripe with the nuvi 760 was the sarcastic attitude of the voice when she says.' Recalculating.. " with a long sigh.. Look, if you want an awesome reliable, easy to run, touch screen GPS I cannot imagine a better product. My wife loved it right off also. We have already recommended it to a few others. I am so glad I purchased this item!


I liked the product till I realize there is NO MSN available as it is advertised. 2008-05-05
OUCH! WHY! what my first reaction when I came to know that it does not have MSN as it was one of the reasons I bought this model of GPS. Other than it is good. Yes it is very slow to catch on satellites when it is cloudy. I love the routes. I used to nuvi 650 but it was stolen so i had to buy another one and bought this one. Other than this feature everything else seems to be the same. Yes I do like the fact that there is no antenna.
