Garmin's nüvis pack top of the line features into a slim form factor.

New Features -- Where Am l? Where's My Car?
The nüvi 700 series is the first to answer two common questions: 'Where am l?' 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 Routing
This 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. lt 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.


First Rate Map Data
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 (P0ls), including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping.


lmportant note about map updates: Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by will come with the most recent map version. lf you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our Garmin Store.

Hands-Free Calling
ln more and more places, it is becoming illegal to use cell phones while driving without a hands-free kit. Wlth 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. ln 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.

lntegrated 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. ln most areas, TMC Clear Channel traffic broadcasts are continuous — 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 PlN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location


Easy To Use lnterface
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.


Beyond Navigation

Browse your stored pictures with an easy-to-use JPEG viewer.

A handy MP3 player lets you play songs stored on SD memory cards.

Navigation is just the beginning. All nüvi 700s feature travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, MP3 player, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more.

Buyer's feedback: - * 2009 Map Update killed my Garmin 760 ...
I recently purchased the Nuvi 760 and just last night I noticed I was eligible for a free 2009 map update. So, of course I took advantage of it, spending a few hours updating everything. Once finished, I noticed some places that were new that appeared on my POI. So I'm thinking...cool, got a free update (not really free after paying close to $400). Went to sleep that same night, woke up and took a client out to an unfamiliar area and noticed my Garmin wasn't working. I tried taking it off the bean bag holder and powering it up that way...no power. I tried hooking it up to my computer...no power. Basically, the unit is DEAD. I find it too much of a coincidence that I just loaded the 2009 map update and now it doesn't work (working fine before). I called Garmin and they want me to send it out to them since it's still under warranty. So I did. We'll see what happens, but I would think twice about purchasing this until it's been on the market longer.

Buyer's feedback: - It's Good, Just Not Great
First, I'm no newbie when it comes to GPS devices. The Garmin nuvi 760 makes the 3rd GPS I've purchased. I first tested this unit about a week ago on a trip to Tampa, Florida from "middle-of-no-where" Alabama. Navigating Tampa was made extremely easily and non-stressful with the 760.

I got this unit for about $500 at a Bestbuy, and I'm pleased with it's performance. Let me break down the pros and cons based on my preferences:

Pros:
Detailed maps
Device mounting to the windshield. Tom Tom devices tend to fall down.

Cons:
Lack of features.
No ability to omit certain roads. This feature is extremely useful when you don't want to travel using toll roads.

Throughout it all, I am very pleased with the Garmin nuvi 760, the only thing I that kept me from giving it 5/5 stars is that I couldn't recalculate a route based on my driving preferences unlike the Tom Toms.


For those who are torn between getting a Tom Tom and a Garmin, consider the following things:

Garmin GPS systems have very detailed maps. You might have to wade through a ton of models to find a Garmin gps that suites your needs.

Tom Tom GPS systems boast a lot of features, and they're usually cheaper than Garmin systems. The downside to Tom Tom is that they're foreign based, and their maps aren't as detailed.

Buyer's feedback: - * Great for real estate agents ...
I bought this GPS for a friend who is also a REALTOR, and she absolutely loves it. When she's showing houses in an unfamiliar neighborhood, she just punches in the address and hits the road. It's much easier for her to listen to the directions given out loud than it is to try to read printed directions while she's driving. She also liked that she was able to select the voice that she wanted to hear. She chose not to use the female voice with the British accent because she was afraid she wouldn't be able to understand what the woman was saying.

Buyer's feedback: - Great purchase!
This is our first Garmin and we love it. We recently used it on a road trip and not once did we need to use a written map. It was very user-friendly and the directions given were spot on. We would definitely recommend this to anyone who's looking for a quality GPS.

Buyer's feedback: - * Question to all you peeps who know a lot more about GPS than me. ...
I have an older model of Garmin and I love it except for one thing. When I am putting in the city's name, it - depending on what city I'm entering - lets me put a few letters in and then pulls up the wrong city. How do you enter ALL of the city's name so it won't stop deciding itself which city it THINKS I want? I have been thinking of getting one of the nuvi 760's but wondering if it does the same thing. Can anyone help me?
