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.

Great product August 29, 2008 T. Falca (AZ) I love my new Garmin 760; it is fast, accurate, and has great graphics. The search feature is spot on & has plenty of categories to narrow down your choices. I first bought a Navigon, then sent it back- it was insanely slow. The only two downsides to this are: 1- It doesn't take verbal commands...all of these things will be able to do that in the next couple years, I just couldnt wait, nor pay $999 for the next model up. 2- If youre used to NeverLost from Hertz, this thing is going to annoy you since it doesn't 'ding' or 'chime' when youre suppose to take an action.
A little disappointing August 28, 2008 Jason Wiederstein (Alamo City) I didn't give 5 stars (actually would have preferred 3.5) because the BlueTooth doesn't work with my phone (Treo 680) although I got it to function, it makes my device lock up after the call and I have to take out the battery. Also the speaker isn't that great and callers told me I sound like I'm down in a well. I'd have been better off buying the 750 for about $200 less!! The other features are fine and I like the traffic report function. MP3 sounds okay and the picture viewer works well too.
garmin nuvi 760 August 28, 2008 D. Sutton (Davison, MI USA) The Garmin 760 does an alright job, it seems to always travel the heavy traffic areas, the voice has a vibration to it and the screen has locked up on me several times while I was trying to navigate thru them for more information, forcing me to shut it off and restart it.
Garmin nuvi 760 August 28, 2008 Retired Guy (Maryland) The GPS arrived sooner than promised. So far only two complaints and I have shared them with Garmin. The serial number, located on the bottom, is so small it is almost impossible to read even with a magnifying glass. The unit came with the 2008 version of maps and during the registration process I was offered the current version (2009) at an additional cost of $69.95. I emailed Garmin asking why the unit was not shipped with current maps and why I was not eligible for a free upgrade. So far, no response, and sicnce it has been a month, I don't expect one.
Nuvi 760 August 28, 2008 Rodney J. Harrison (Conway, Arkansas) Purchased because I travel. Really cool that I can punch in an address a state away from me while sitting in my driveway and then take off and end up exactly where I need to be without any hitches. Really strange driving without maps but there is no need to have them when your Nuvi is with you. Looking for something to eat or a place to stay the night while in a strange town? Just simply touch a few buttons on the screen and find what you need. I must say that the hands free phone (bluetooth) is somewhat staticky while talking but I highly recommend this product.
