"Great replacement for the Nuvi 660" on by jifnj
Pros: Smaller size, built in ant. no flip up. Picks up signal very fast, Bluetooth works great,Great screen day and nite,as well as screen lock. Car locator is a big plus
Cons: Only have it a week, the volume could be a bit louder, does not have the tone indicator as the 660.
Summary: I believe Garmin is the best unit out there. As with all High Tech toys they become obs in a few momths. The traffic reports are great I live in a area that is not covered, but it gives reports is areas I am going to.Will renew it. Keeps the battery full charged in the car, as the 660 didnt. Did not come with the case and home AC charger as the 660 did. Overall I am very pleased with the unit.

"Poor FM transmission" on by haw5
Pros: Great GPS with many very useful features - Blue Tooth works great.
Cons: FM transmission to a car radio is full of static - no matter how many frequencies tried - my iPod FM transmitters work great - Garmin says the weak broadcast is FCC regulated -NOT! - condition same on both first defective and replacement unit
Summary: I would recommend buying a cheaper unit that lacks FM transmission but has all the other Nuvi features -

"Garmin should improve voice prompts and volume" on by Leopardito
Pros: Nuvi 760 is very portable, nice colors, good screen clarity at any time of day.
Cons: Computer voices are bad
Summary: Nuvi 760 could have much better voices and volume. TomTom has excelent voices and volume and you don't need your FM radio to enhace them. You get FM and you can't listen to your radio.
Don't get me wrong Garmin, in general, are much better than TomTom, but in the area of voices... TomTom gets 5 stars and Garmin 2, at most. -
"awesome GPS unit" on by afijaymz
Pros: great mic for bluetooth speakerphone, good UI
Cons: no multi route option, no "escape to home menu" buttons
Summary: Love this unit. The navigation is as good as I've see (although, I haven't seen THAT many of them). Easy to use and as accurate as you can expect (the routes aren't always 100% the best way, but that's subjective, I guess).
It'd be even better if when you put in a route, it could give you a couple different choices. My friend had a Cobra GPS unit that did that and I really liked that capability.
On a side note, the bluetooth function works well. The mic is phenomenal. It's really sensitive (although, probably not windows-down friendly). The only gripe about that part is I wish that it would split-screen when you're on a call. And you could easily manipulate the volume.
Which leads me to my other wish. I wish there were dedicated buttons. I like the clean look and feel. But I wish there were dedicated buttons for Volume Up and Down and maybe a Home function. I hate having to back out of multiple menus after changing some in-depth setting or searching for something.
But, those are just wishful thinking. It's DEFINITELY a great unit, in my opinion. Works like a champ! -
"lost in MA" on by tmcwoods
Pros: picks up satellite better than the nuvi 200
Cons: not very acurate in boston
Summary: took this gps on road trip to boston and was lost many, many times!! constantly recalculating and losing it's signal. very fustrating trip considering the cost of gas.
our previous trip to PA went well. gps was very acurate for that trip.
not worth the extra $, returning it to costco.
