Editorial Review:
Loaded and wide, nüvi 760 has it all ? advanced navigation features, a widescreen display, preloaded maps, an FM transmitter, hands-free calling, traffic alerts and more. Like the rest of the wide nüvi 700-series, its premium navigation capabilities, like route planning and a handy locator, give you peace of mind on the go. Save up to 10 routes, and specify via points and preview simulated turns on the 4.3 widescreen, or enter your via points and let the nuvi 750 automatically sort multiple destinations for an efficient route Hands free calling with Bluetooth phones A trip log of up to 10,000 points keeps a record of where you've been on the map for easy reference Speed limits for all major highways and interstates A high-sensitivity internal (non flip-up) antenna keeps the unit sleek and compact while the rechargeable lithium-ion battery allows you to use the unit in and out of the car for up to 5 hours MP3 playback with Audiobook player, picture viewer, and currency converters Built-in FM transmitter allows you to listen to your music, audio books, and gps voice prompts through your car's stereo Route avoidance (avoid highways, tolls, etc.), Route setup (choice of faster time, shorter distance, off-road), Auto re-route (fast auto-recalculation when you take a wrong turn or want to avoid traffic), and Custom POIs (ability to add additional points of interest) FM traffic alerts (3 months of service included) Optional MSN Direct, and Garmin Lock (an anti-theft feature) Interfaces - USB, Audio line-out (headphone) Unit Dimensions - 4.8w x 3h x. 8d Weight - 6.2 oz
You can pair the 760 with your cell phone via Bluetooth for hands free talking. I believe Garmin has discontinued this model, but if you can find it, buy it.
The only con is that it does not come with a case.
Worked on move from NC to NV. Worked in rural MidWest and crowded Dallas & LA. Worked in & over the mountains of NV and southern Cali. Even worked at 41,000ft @ 495mph on Delta. I read the safety pamplet on the back of my seat, GPS' are not prohibited items :) Ever since those commercial pilots got "distracted" somebody needs to make sure they are going the right way. ;)

Customer Reviews:
Broke down in less than six months.
This unit is very easy to use, but after less than six months, it shut down. The unit will not power up anymore. I contacted customer support, and they gave me some tips on how to power it back up, it still did not work. I have re-contacted customer support and am waiting to hear what to do with it. It's a shame that it is not working. I was actually enjoying using it. 2010-02-20
Garmin nuvi 760
Most Garmin auto/mobile GPS units come highly recommended by reviewers. This unit for the most part satisfies. It has been accurate and trouble free in finding and giving directions, not so with other features. Now for the downside. Either the paid renewable subscription type or free traffic updates feature available on many GPS units is a joke. For the most part they are inaccurate and not current and do not give you real time road construction alerts. The next item is the cost of map updates after the first year. Garmin asks for $100.00 I believe. This to me is a little steep considering that the actual cost to Garmin and other providers is most likely a fraction of that. Ah yes marketing. A way to sell more new new units. I will be investigating manufacturers that offer real time traffic reports for a fixed monthly to yearly charge for what I hope is a superior service for not much more than a map update. Since they down sized from the Street Pilot line, the sound stinks. All for looks. The microphone reception in Bluetooth mode is also terrible. Most times you cannot make out what the Bluetooth user is saying. 2010-02-16
Great GPS and More!
This was my first GPS unit, and I am quite please. Great POI, maps, and very easy to use. Bought it with the '09 maps and have since upgraded to the '10 maps.
You can pair the 760 with your cell phone via Bluetooth for hands free talking. I believe Garmin has discontinued this model, but if you can find it, buy it.
The only con is that it does not come with a case.

4 Star +
Would have been 5 stars but the newer model has Lane Assist :) Works past my expectation.
