 Not sure what all everyone is fusing about December 5, 2008
I'm a professional photographer that travels alot and I bought the 760 last weekend and I have been using it for about a week. I love this product and I haven't had any problems. It only takes me about 30 seconds to plug in an address and I'm on my way. The blue tooth feature works great and the I don't have any sound issues like the others have complained of. The FM reciever is also wonderful and the unit gets me around high traffic areas in Atlanta. The only thing I have not tried is the sound through the speakers in my car. Overall this unit is great and I couldn't ask for more from this divice.
I'm fairly new to the GPS world and I was VERY overwhelmed trying to pick the best unit for me because everyone made the reviews so complicated. The bottom line is this product gets the job done --- I love it.
Hope this review helps us "simple minded" people.
 Bluetooth Compatibility Issues December 3, 2008

I just received my Garmin 760. I wish to point out that I've owned several navigation units including Garmin nuvi 200, Navigon 2100, Tom Tom one and a couple of Magellan basic units. I was very much looking forward to this unit after all the hype and the awesome reviews on the net. I couldn't wait to pair the 760 with my LG Voyager. What a disappointment!
After trying different things for well over an hour I decided to call Verizon who in turn put me in contact with LG. The LG rep put me on hold for a couple of minutes and then came back on the line to let me know that the only two phones they carry which are compatible with the 760 are the 8600 and the 9400.
after I hung up with him I decided to try my wife's newly acquired Blackberry Storm. Guess What? IT WORKS JUST FINE! Here is a phone that came out last week and it hooked right up. The Voyager has been around for a year and does not work with the 760. Please note, I did upgrade the firmware prior to attempting to pair the phones. My advice... Check your phones compatibility with the manufacturer to avoid any disappointment.I haven't yet decided if it's worth it to me to keep the 760 and buy another compatible phone or hope that garmin or LG may put out another firmware miracle to correct this problem? Maybe I'll just give the Garmin to my wife... Yeah, right!

Just got it and have found it to save me time and gas. I travel many midwestern & southern states and find it sometimes takes me on different routes than I'm used to. All in all it has saved me time and gas money.
For the price an excellent purchase. I like the voice calling out the streets so I can concentrate on the road.

I ordered nuvi 760 this Tuesday, and got it on Thursday. After receiving the unit, I just could not wait to try it on my trip to Slugger Museum and Louisville Zoo, the two places we are completely unfamiliar with and had never been to. The GPS led us to our destinations and did its job beautifully. I also found that this unit is made in Taiwan, and to my knowledge, products made in Taiwan are always high quality guaranteed, and this unit is absolutely no exception.
Another big plus is the interface is really user-friendly, and even my 7-year-old son can operate it, not to mention his fourth-grade brother. The points of interest installed in this unit are also amazing. And even in very remote areas, it still offers tons of places for lodging, restaurants, and attractions, and more and more. This saves me a lot of time from researching tour books and maps. How incredible is that! I highly recommend this unit to those families who love to travel and explore new places.

Stepped up from a NUVI 360. Wider screen is very nice. Other features are about the same. The one thing that bothers me (and I've contacted Garmin, who said that's the way it is), is that if you have found a POI and you want to make a Waypoint of it and dump it into the unit, it will NOT allow you to import the Comment. (phone number, address, state, zip) to your Favorites.
In other words, you can only import the name of the Waypoint...
Then... you can only add the phone number in the unit's Favorites, no address, state, zip, suite #, etc...
Paying more money for a unit should not have the developers subtract a nice feature that was in a less expensive unit, a feature to let you customize the way the Waypoint in your Favorites reads. Otherwise, I like the unit and will stick with the English, instead of the English Emily TTS. I found the TTS voices are not as loud and are distorted and not as clear at high volumes.
I returned the new Navigon 7200T. I feel it was a lot of hype and not as many useful features as Garmin...
