 Unknown/Stars are for Garmin Products July 8, 2010

I am sure this item is a good GPS, but the one I purchased stopped working about 10 minutes after turning it on. I love Garmin GPS units, but all you can do is try it to see!!!

GPS and extra features work well. Bluetooth did not link up with my phone, but otherwise I am happy with the unit.
 Impressed but with reservations June 13, 2010
Mark Hannon (Southwestern CT, USA)
As the owner of a Magellan unit, we needed a GPS device that could interface with our Mac. I have no problems with the software, though the process of getting a custom map from your Mac to the device is poorly documented. It required an email to customer service to have the process explained. Basically, after sending the custom map to the 785T from "Roadtrip" on your computer, you have to go to "Custom Maps" on your device and download your new map.
Overall the GPS unit works well though I was disappointed to learn that all Garmin units lack the turn chimes used by our Magellan. One nice feature is that the 785T finds the satelites much faster than our previous GPS devices.
Basically, you buy a GPS unit to get you where you need to go and the 785T does what it is supposed to do.
 GARMIN DOES NOT HONOR FREE MAP FOR OUTDATED ONE THAT COMES W/ THE UNIT June 3, 2010
D. Supanich (Calumet, MI)
Garmin's customer suport has gone down the tubes. I was unable to update the map on my unit as it got stuck - thought it went thru. Getting ready for my trip and discovered the unit is OUT OF DATE and Garmin says, so sorry about your disappointment but you can purchase an updated map. The unit won't even find a Walmart for crying out loud. They said 60 days and its been 90 days but the map wouldn't not load on day 5. SHAME ON YOU GARMIN.
Great GPS poor map graphics May 16, 2010

I have used this unit for like 4 days now and I must say I feel badly let down. Though it works well as expected, the unit has a feel of cheapness around it especially with the graphics of the map. For a company like Garmin, I would have expected their graphics to be sharp and crisp instead it comes across like graphics from 10 years ago when compared to the graphics on Sprint Telenav. While navigating and when approaching a section of the highway that splits, the unit is supposed to display a pictorial image of the road and the exit sign so as to serve as extra guide, well mine hasn't shown any of that yet.
My second gripe with the unit is the limited amount of data on display while navigating. It is good to have data like speedometer, speed limit, time of arrival, exit information, and name of street driving on displayed, but when you have to punch the screen to access other information like distance to destination especially, or time at destination, or other fun information, it gets really annoying.
The call clarity of its bluetooth is nothing to write home about. I've used navigon's GPS system before and there's worked far much better than this one, so I have had to resort to using my bluebooth headset.
Not that it is a piece of crap, the unit is actually an impressive gadget. It is slick and not bulky. When powered on, it doesn't take long to obtain a gps signal. The windshield mount was properly thought out as it is very easy to mount and unmount the unit. Although the map that came with it was out of date, I was allowed to update it without charge. There is also another neat little feature that I found on it: ecofuel. It monitors your speed and compares it to your mpg usage to let you know how eco friendly your driving is. Lastly, I am pleased that there is a lock security code on it to prevent unauthorized use, though it would have been nice if you can set the unit to time out when standing still after a predetermined amount of time.
I am going to return it as I am not completely satisfied.
