Some customer reviews from Amazon

 

Garmin 760

I recently purchased the 760 and I really like it. The larger screen is really nice. The blue tooth connectivity works really well, it hooked up with my Blackberry Pearl very easily with no problem at all. Unfortunately, the FM transmitter is just a little weak, consequently there is a little too much background white noise and interference. For the most part the maps are pretty good, but of all the things it has my own home address wrong, it's about 4 houses off. I downloaded the latest maps and it still didn't fix the problem. For the most part it gets me where I'm going very nicely. There are a lot of Points of Interest, but it takes just a little digging to get to them unlike my older and much cheaper MIO which floats POIs such as gas stations and hotel icons right across the screen to let you know that they are up ahead. I wish the 760 had this feature, or at least make the POIs more readily accessible. The mounting bracket has a swivel knuckle that works very good which makes the bracket quite sturdy. Over all I like this unit a lot it would be excellent if Garmin made the FM transmitter stronger. I do recommend this unit.

We upgraded from a Garmin Streetpilot - which we passed on for use at work. Both units were great and guides us around unfamiliar territory without fail - but this one is so much nicer due to the sizing! Screen is larger but is only about 1/2 deep so it fits much better in the car. We had purchased the friction dashboard mount (which was totally needed for the old Streetpilot) but have found that it is not needed with this unit so will be returning that. Highly recommended!

Very handy

I'm not a techie and probably only use a few of the many features everyone mentions here, but for good, reliable directions and a clear screen, this Garmin fits the bill. Don't let the long lists of pros and cons scare you away--this model is easy to use and I've only had to consult directions a few times. A friend warned me that the windshield mount doesn't really work, but I haven't had any problems. A great gift!
