Amazon.com Product Description -- January 8, 2008 Garmin's nAvi 700 series brings two exciting new features -- multi-destination routing and, "Where am I?/Where's my car?" -- to its popular pocket-sized GPS navigator lineup. As with all nAvis, 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 nAvi 760 and 770 add integrated traffic receivers and Bluetooth capability for hands-free calling. The nAvi 770 adds maps for Europe. The nAvi 780 adds enhanced MSN direct content capability.. Which nAvi is Best for You?: Click here to see a quick, simple comparison of features for all Garmin nuvi GPS navigators  Garmin's nAvis pack top of the line features into a slim form factor. | Wider screen lets you see more of what's around. Compare these actual size views of a 3-inch (diagonal) screen  and a 4.3-inch diagonal widescreen  | New Features -- Where Am I? Where's My Car? The nAvi 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 nAvi 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 nAvi 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 nAvi to any bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nAvi'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 nAvi's sophisticated automatic routing will get you back on track in no time. In most areas, TMC Clear Channel traffic broadcasts are continuous a 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.

Not as good as I thought January 6, 2009 Got this for Christmas and used for the first time on a trip to S. Carolina. It is my second Garmin. On startup it seems to take forever to load maps, but it locates satellites quickly. Some of the route recommendations do not make sense. It cannot find some locations that have been around for years. I guess I need more time working with it but I am not impressed with this upgrade unit vs my original Garmin. The screen is brighter and easier to view. The voice level is low but audible. I tried the traffic feature and found it of limited value in Jacksonville/I-95. Might be good if you live in a metro area that it covers.
Garmin Nuvi 760 January 6, 2009 Overall, I'm very pleased with this GPS...my only complaint is that once I put it on the charger and power back up for use...I have to re-set the language to get voice navigation back. Kind of annoying!
Garmin Nuvi 760 January 6, 2009 I purchased the Garmin 760 in preparation for a cross country drive over the holidays. We drove 3,140 miles in 5 days, and relied on the unit for our route. We checked the unit against the latest AAA maps, and found the unit to be very accurate, recognizing even the smallest of streets. It provides you a constant display of the posted speed limit and the distance to your next turn, VIA point or destination while driving. The map display is well done, easy to read, and can be zoomed in or out from multi-state size to just a few streets. We found only 2 errors in speed limits and 2 errors in direction in 3,140 miles. In fairness to Garmin, we verified that one of the errors on a street was that the county map showed the street was conmpleted while in fact the county had not finished the street construction, so the turn could not be made the way the Garmin suggested. I suspect that the error on speed limits was due to recent changes. Both street errors were very small short roads in rural areas. The unit can be set for the most direct route or with multiple VIA points (destinations along the route) that will divert to any set point. We learned that we should trust the unit, as it chose the correct route all the time. Even when we thought it was making a mistake and taking us a longer way the unit had selected the most direct and fastest route. There are some very cool features like auto bightness dimming to adjust for brightness in daylight and dark, constant posted speed limit display and blue tooth that make this the best unit for the price on the market (in my opinion). I would recommend the unit to everyone who wants an easy to use accurate GPS with a good size map display.
Battery Died, Slow Processor January 5, 2009 Battery died (discharges from full to empty in seconds) and processor continues to slow (while driving, the vehicle sometimes takes seconds to update, causing missed turns and erroneous details). Updated software to no avail. Sent Garmin tech suppt three emails; no response. On hold w/ tech support for more than 40min before quitting. Threw unit away.
Great tool that works as advertised January 5, 2009 This was a holiday gift for my husband and he is very picky about electronics. He loves it! Large bright easy to read screen. Satellite pick up is satisfactory. Easy to understand voice with great detail. This thing blows my built-in Toyota navigation system away. Great price too
