Amazon.com Product Description -- January 8, 2008
Garmin's nüvi 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 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

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.

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.

4 out of 5 stars Pleased   October 7, 2008
Very Pleased so far with the Garmin "760" so far. I had only one problem with the GPS, it did not know that all the streets were "fully" finished and had me turning or trying to turn on a street that was not finished or completed yet, and I had to make slight adjustments, other then that it worked like a champ! SRW


5 out of 5 stars Love it!   October 6, 2008
I used the reviews on Amazon to buy the nuvi 760. I have used it on two business trips. It removes stress and gets me to the airport on time! I like the feature of locating my car in a parking lot!


4 out of 5 stars Works great... second time around   October 5, 2008
First unit had a problem with the audio randomly not working. Amazon was great in getting us a replacement unit ASAP! Like others might have mentioned, the FM transmitter is weak. Really like the unit. I even can use it for paperless geocaching when coupled with GSAK software and some macros. I cannot give the unit 5 stars with the audio problem it had.


4 out of 5 stars Garmin GPS 760 Unit   October 5, 2008
I did a lot of research online before I decided to buy this nuvi. I have been using my nuvi for about a month now and it stopped speaking. It happened when I updated my map online with the free update. I tried the faq's and they did not help. I emailed product support and received an immediate reply. They helped me to fix the problem. The gps itself is sometimes off as in my home address but it still gets you to the vicinity of where you are going. I bought mine for a trip I am taking and expect it to come in really handy. I have been using it around town to learn how to use it and that is where I have seen some differences but they are really minor. The bluetooth keeps going on and off but I am not sure if it is not my phone causing the problem. I have used it during a phone conversation though and it worked great. For a hands free device it will do the trick if your state has laws against driving and talking on the phone. I downloaded some of my cd's onto a sd card and played them through my radio system in the car and it worked great. Alot better than through the nuvi itself. I also have used the navigation through the radio but I would rather have that thru the nuvi. I am really glad I bought this and for the most part I am pleased with my purchase. I would suggest this to anyone who wants to pair a bluetooth with navigation. The other features are just an added and welcome extra.


5 out of 5 stars Garmin 770   October 4, 2008
I'm completely satisfied with this product. The owner's manual,(which you have to download and print) is thorough but it does leave a few things out. Tech assistance answered all my questions. This unit is very easy to use and program.
