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

Which nuevi is Best for You?: Click here to see a quick, simple comparison of features for all Garmin nuvi GPS navigators  Garmin's nuevis 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 nuevi 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 nuevi 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 nuevi 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 nuevi to any bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nuevi'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 nuevi'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. | Garmin Lock Garmin's patent pending theft prevention system that disables the unit from performing any functions until the user types in a specific 4-digit PIN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location 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.

Loving the family roadtrips! July 5, 2008 A. E. Bermea (Madison, AL USA) We still have much to learn about it as we've only had one big road trip since purchasing. But here is our initial review. Pros: This is so easy to use! The graphic interface is intuitive. I love the zooming functions and the "recently found destinations" feature. Huge, clear screen. Touchscreen has just the right sensitivity. Blue tooth function is cool and works well. Cons: Wish it would ding when approaching turn. She gives clear instruction but you have to pay close attention when turns are near. Would like reasoning as to why she chooses a route. We ended up on some back roads in Georgia on our way to Hilton Head. Perhaps she was avoiding traffic? We were baffled as we saw cars zipping by on the interstate as we weaved through traffic lights. Maybe she selected a scenic route for us? None the less, we had a good laugh. Overall: Very pleased and would purchase the same unit again.
Mainly a review of the 760 bluetooth July 4, 2008 I call them as I see em. (San Jose, CA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I received the 760 on July 2, 2008 and my cell phone, Samsung u740, initially did not connect. I updated the 760 software (download from Garmin) and low and behold it connected. Whew! First hurdle over. I then tried the bluetooth with the cell phone just sitting on the table maybe a few feet away and it had a lot of static. I then tried it in the car and it seemed to work much better even further from the phone. While it can sound a little distant, it is certainly intelligible. And the sound is good enough (don't turn it past 90% volume or it will break up too much). The fm worked though I don't like it as much as the internal speaker. Well, that's the limit of my expertise, or at least what I feel even slightly able to judge about this GPS. Only time will tell if I even keep it. Not the units fault. I really just need a hands-free unit for the car and I'm a little worried it is going to cause someone to break into my car and steal it. Or, I'll wind up leaving it hidden and never use it. At least now I can see the value of buying a car with a unit already built in.
Nuvi 760 July 4, 2008 ML 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Great Product. Used a 4GB HDSD card for music in an 8 hour trip to Orlando. Nuvi was accurate with directions to attractions, addresses to friends, however, a bit outdated on a few of the ATM locations. In all, a very versatile product that can play music, audio books, or used as a mini album to view pictures.
Garmin nuvi 760 is great July 3, 2008 Gleaner 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The Garmin nuvi 760 is truly idiot-proof. The touch screen is easy to use. The imagery is amazingly useful. The color contrasts work in most lighting. Having now used the device about 10 times, the navigational system only failed once. For some reason, the system could identify the place (restaurant and address) but couldn't give directions. But, when I put in the address, it found the restaurant right away. I like this Garmin nuvi 760 way better than what is in the Prius (our other car).
Navigation (fine) Cell Phone Bluetooth usage (poor) July 3, 2008 King Author (Los Angeles) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a bit daunting to set up and access and the features, but worth the trouble. Sadly, like so many products today there is no manual included in the box. It must be downloaded from the Garmin Web site and comes to 60 pages. It's a must have by the way. The Bluetooth sound quality with my Verizon LG 8300 cell phone was absolutely useless for me. I stress "for me" because it may work better for others. I am in Los Angeles. If you can and it's important to you, try that before you buy. Downloading and installing a 2009 newer map, while free, took about six hours with a relatively high speed connection. However, I found nothing wrong with the older map that had been factory installed. A law in California is still pending to allow GPS units to be installed on the windshield but looks assured of passing in the near future. Meanwhile, you must find a way to place it on the dash. A mounting disk is included that may be glued there but contains a warning that it may disfigure that part of the dash if removal is attempted.
