New Features -- Where Am I? Where's My Car?
The nüvi 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 nüvi 700s automatically mark the position in which they were last removed from the mount.
New Features -- Multi-Destination RoutingThis 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.
All nüvi 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 CallingIn 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 nüvi to any bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nüvi'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 nüvi's sophisticated automatic routing will get you back on track in no time. In most areas, TMC Clear Channel traffic broadcasts are continuous â 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.

Check Your Coverage Area
The 760 is a replacement for my stolen 750. I wanted the 760 but I believe it was about 0.00 last year when I got my 750. So in May when my 750 was stolen I took a look at Amazon.com and was thrilled that I could get the 760 for about 0.00. It is a great unit overall, my complaints are as follows. 3-D mode is cool to look at but unless you drive 20 miles per hour all the time it is not useful at all. In 3-D mode you drive past a street and then about 5 seconds later the Garmin catches up. Just set it to up or north and normal resolution and you will be just fine. It is not a video game so you do not need to set it to max. My second and main complaint is the unit came with the FM traffic receiver. I live in Boise, ID and we have no FM traffic coverage here. I purchased the MSN Direct and it is great. I do not get the traffic updates here but all the other tools are cool. Just go to the Garmin web sight and check your coverage before you buy one with a receiver cord. I think the 780 comes with the MSD Direct and it is only about .00 more than the 760. I guess my last complaint would be the Bluetooth. I had it set up with my phone, and if I am walking around talking on my phone and I get too close to my car the Garmin and my phone will connect and I am still about 50 feet from my car. I had to take my Garmin off the list on my phone.
As far as navigation this is a great unit. I have the newest maps and in some cases it has streets that are not there yet. But with the MSN direct it is awesome in large cities. It will let me know about delays and reroute me if needed. I have more than enough spots to save locations. You can click on your icon and it will let you know where you are. The addresses are a little off but I think that is common for most GPS units unless you spend big time money.

Garmin Nuvi 760 GPS
The gps unit works very well. Even though it's a discontinued model, it does everything I need and more. It wasn't discontinued due to problems. It was only discontinued because its successor has additional features like lane assist and MSN connections I don't need, and that's only free for a limited amount of time, and I don't make use of it so the trial perios would expire and I wouldn't re-subscribe, so I'd end up with a gps that provided virtually the same things the 760 does.
The interface takes some getting used to, especially if you are used to using TomTom gps, which is what I upgraded from. Some of the "easter eggs" are interesting and useful. Easter eggs are hidden, unpublished features, like on the 760 you can press the satellite strenght indicator for a few seconds and a screen will open showing you the individual satellites' status.
Great product, Amazon shipped it promptly.

GPS Review
Mr. Clare G. Smay is very pleased with the purchase of a Garmin GPS unit. The GPS delivery arrived the day before departing for a trip to N.Carolina and performed very well.The purchase and delivery was very satisfactory. Thank You.

Garmin GPS
I purchased this GPS since it had the largest screen (old folks need big screen). However once I began to use it, it didn't have the features that my Tom Tom GPS software that I had installed on my Palm Pilot has. It gets me where I want to go, but it isn't top of the line, slow to update, and doesn't display attractions along the way, like gas stations, etc. And it can't seem to get me home, it gives me 3 options that take longer than the quickest route. But it works...

This is the GPS Golden Ticket!
We spent a year (or two) trying to figure out which GPS we should buy... there are SOOOOOOO many options! Its easy to just give up on the search... its worse than trying to find th eperfect fitting Jeans!
But we found it! This is by far THE BEST GPS out there! Not to mention, the price is AWESOME if bought here! Amazon is the cheapest of all places i searched and has the most up to date maps... its over 0 on ebay!
We have had this for a couple month now and i feel like i can't live w/o it! Love the ease of use, its sleek and compact, yet has a very big screen, the blutooth is such a handy feature!
Its such a smart mechine, so many ways to find what you need! the touch screen is very nice, not over sensitive or hard to use... In short, this is the final stop in a long search!
BUY IT! Don't think twice!
