A good product that I do not regret buying BUT I am less than satisfied with for 2 reasons...

1) I quickly learned that the loaded mapping program is out of date. A few times I wasted time following the unit's instructions only to discover that I was directed to an old location. I also noticed that newer locations (open for business in the last 2 years) were not identified by the unit. You can look up the directions on Google maps and download the directions to the unit but, a) this is a hassle and b) you have to know in advance that the location is new enough NOT to be included on the program. You can also purchase the 2009 mapping program update (Garmin Map Update of 2009 City Navigator North America NT) but, when I priced it, I found that it costs 50+ dollars... the last thing I want to do after spending $300+ for the unit itself.

2) Another problem I have with the unit is that, to the best of my knowledge (I haven't had time to research it further), while you can find services (e.g., food, fuel, etc.) near your current location, you cannot know for sure the location is along the route you are currently traveling. Therefore, if you are traveling and need to stop for fuel, it is difficult to tell if the nearest gas station is actually the best one to go to (i.e., along your route). The "nearest" gas station could be just a few miles away but "off the beaten path" and not the most "convenient" choice.

My overall suggestion is, while I like my GPS unit, I'm not sure I got the best deal. I would suggest that you shop around before settling on this model... I'm guessing that I could have bought an equivalent model for about the same price. Good luck and happy shopping!!

Great GPS- we have used other brands in rental cars and this is the best yet! Very fast, and I use it every day and it hasn't gotten me lost or sent me on a route where I felt I shhould have gone a different way. Very easy to use. The traffic feature that I didn't think I needed is amazing. Highly recommended.

I purchased this product for my husband for his birthday. He seems to be very pleased with the Garmin nuvi 760. He quickly realized though that the maps are not current. There is a road that we travel quite frequently that does not show up on the system and this road has been in existence for at least 3 to 4 years. It is a bypass route around our town and is heavily travelled so one would expect it to show up on the map. When we drive that road, the Garmin shows us driving through a field. :)

I did a very significant amount of research before purchasing this GPS system, and felt very comfortable at the time that the nuvi 760 was the best choice given my needs. I wanted a wide GPS display in a thin device that could be stored easily, had Bluetooth functionality, and had accurate and fast directions. The 760 was supposed to have all of that. However, we've been incredibly dissapointed with this device and could not recommend it to others.

The key problems are, in order of signficance:
1. The nuvi 760 fails to acquire satellite signal. My device would consistently go 5-10 minutes trying to look acquire a lock from the GPS satellites outdoors outside the car in plain view of completely clear skies. Given that most errands usually take 10-20 minutes of driving time, a 10 minute delay before the GPS starts working renders the device completely useless.
2. The device sometimes has trouble correctly assesing the location of the vehicle. My device would show us driving on the grass, off a road or even on the water while we were driving on a highway. It also seems to get "confused" easily and it recalculates routes constantly, albeit all of them being wrong.
3. The Bluetooth feature is very poor. The voice quality is bad and you have to yell for others to be able to hear you. It's no better than simply using the speaker feature of your cell phone, and significantly inferior to a $30 bluetooth earpiece you can pick up at Radio Shack.

It's unfortunate because the device, in theory, has all of the features I was looking for.

After getting 2 defective 660's in 2 weeks (which Amazon replaced, then refunded), I upgraded my order to the 760, and I'm pretty thrilled with the unit so far. It came with the latest maps and software (unlike the 660's), worked right out of the box, and has been very accurate. Speaker has been fine-although the pronunciation of street names is often peculiar. (Come on, Pine St. isn't hard!) My only gripes are that the POI's are limited, and you can't sort easily by preferences. AND that the bluetooth is not compatible with my LG phone- I'm hoping Garmin will keep adding compatible phones at a reasonable rate, or this function is useless as there aren't very many on their list. Otherwise, I love the integrated antenna-good unit!
