Garmin Nuvi 760 Review

Strengths: Compact packaging, intuitive interface, refined graphics, Bluetooth capability, extensive POI's, extra functionalities

Weakness: FM traffic feature fee-free for only a month, long car adaptor with integrated FM antenna (for traffic information), map update fee-free only for the first two months

I have been using Nuvi 760 for about three weeks now. Nuvi 760 is a compact and very refined GPS unit with useful navigation-related core features such as street naming and speed limit posting; Bluetooth capability is very important as it allows a hand-free mobile phone operation during driving (this is the cheapest 7xx series Nuvi with Bluetooth capability). With the firmware update (available...

Garmin 760....great but not perfect

Strengths: Excellent database. Easy to use. Excellent mount. Includes traffic, Bluetooth, MP3 player, lots of extras. Compact design.

Weakness: Imperfect routing. Does not take traffic lights into consideration. Bad FM transmitter. Too many zoom levels. Expensive.

I had read some very positive reviews on this product and was very excited to get it. Unfortunately, having set high expectations set me up for a couple of let-downs. But it's a very good unit, with a few areas for improvement. Starting with the physical unit, it is sleek, compact and quite portable. The antenna from the 6XX series is gone, which is nice. If you are looking for a case to put it...

Nice little GPS

Strengths: Great viewable size, great visibility during nighttime, Bluetooth option, Text to Speech, portable, great accuracy.

Weakness: Relatively expensive, occasional iffy satellite signal.

This GPS is one of the best Nuvi line products I have looked at. The 4.3" widescreen gives a large view of the map so you can see names easily. Despite the large widescreen size, it is fairly portable and fits in my coat pockets easily. I was comparing on buying this model and the 680 and this unit is quite slimmer than the 680. The Text to Speech is also a nice added feature and for the most...

Garmin Nuvi 760

Strengths: Just about everything.

Weakness: Doesn't come with the MSN Direct cable. Not necessarily current traffic information. Is a little pricey.

This is my first GPS and it was a great choice! The unit picks up satellites very quickly. Directions are great - very detailed voice commands. The FM traffic works ok in the Norfolk area, but I think the information is delayed. Still a nice feature to have. A lot of fun stuff - plays mp3s, audio books, pictures. I prefer the unit's speakers to using my car's speakers, but the option is nice....

Garmin nivi 760

Strengths: Integrates my cell-phone via bluetooth for hands free calls and integrates with the car's audio system via FM for voice directions.

Weakness: Both unit and maps are pricey.

The nuvi 760 allows me to be running late and still get my directions after leaving the house on the fly. I no longer waste time looking at computer maps and ending up with the paper clutter pintouts create. Unit has excellent graphics.

Garmin Nuvi 760

Strengths: Looks sleek, big screen

Weakness: No MapSource support; touch screen feels loose and unlaminated; very pricy; includes complex features best done with MapSource on your computer

I purchased a Nuvi 760 2-days ago. If you like downloading ROUTES into your GPS from your computer this is NOT the unit for you. Routes must be built in the unit and this is not very easy and in some cases seems impossible. The 760 will NOT download GPX files from your computer or MapSource as routes. It will only down load GPX's as "Custom Points of Interest" (POI's). You then have to select...

Great buy!

Strengths: Love the Garmin nuvi 760 - great for finding places while traveling and much more.

Weakness: When finding a place one has to add the street number. Would prefer to search by street. Cannot find rural addresses. I assume since the product is new it may take a few years to find rural places.

Shipped by FedEX.......got to me by appropriate time. The Garmin is very user friendly. I had a friend play around with it without reading the instructions and she was amazed how easy it is to operate. Great Buy!

WOW... introduced me to back roads I'd never driven...

Strengths: Compact size, choice in voice, easy to read screen, accurate and repetitive prompts, rerouting for traffic

Weakness: none to speak of

This is my second gps system (the first got robbed from my car). I use the Nuvi 760 to navigate in small towns, where the streets may not be named or have readable signage. It's saved me hours of driving in circles by getting me to my destination with pinpoint accuracy. Amazing. The other functions are quite nice as well... and I find there is no confusion in when and where to turn (my older gps...

Garmin Nuvi 760

Strengths: This GPS is easy to use and has everything I could possibly want. I really enjoy traveling with this particular model.

Weakness: My only disappointment was that they no longer include the case the unit fits into. My last Garmin Nuvi 680 came with a fitted case and I enjoyed using it.

No regrets what so ever in choosing this model. I would definitely recommend it to others. I like the built in antenna and the large screen but still slim design.
