Garmin nuvi 750 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator

People here are obviously confusing the different unit model #'s. The Garmin 700 series covers the 750, 760, and 770. Obviously some of these folks got the 760 and think it's a 750. The 750, which this review space is for, is all silver, there are NOT different color choices. The 760 and 770 have a black finish around the screen. The 750 doesn't come with bluetooth and an included traffic reciever, which doesn't work that good at all and coverage is "spotty" at best. But for the additional $200 they're asking for these insignificant features, I'd recommend the 750 for 200 less. The 770 is the same as the 760 but comes with both N. American AND European maps installed. These are Garmins top of the line Nuvi's and imo... the best portable gps's on the market. The big difference in the 700 series over last years 600 series is the inclusion of multi-destination routing. So if you're a delivery driver or someone that drives a different route with multiple stops each day, then the 700... more >>

I previously had a nuvi 660 and left the unit in a rental car in Iowa. I waited to replace it until the 750 shipped at the end of last month. While I was waiting, I tried a Tom Tom and Magellon. The 750 far exceeds all of the other units. The earlier reviews give a pretty good run down on what is good about it. There are a couple of things that were not mentioned that I really like over the 660. 1. I like the feel of it better than the 660. It doesn't have the flip up antenna and seems more streamline and fits into my shirt pocket better. 2. The mounting unit is FAR superior than the one on the 660. I have rented cars 140 times so far this year, and the different windshield slants caused problems at times with the 660. The 750 mount allows greater rotation of the GPS for better viewing. I didn't use the bluetooth on the 660, so I opted to not get it and purchased the 750 instead of the 760. I do disagree with an earlier review in that I greatly appreciate the traffic antenna and... more >>

Been playing with this unit a bit and here are some first impressions. I do not have enough experience with routing performance yet but I hope these impressions are useful nonetheless. The good: - aesthetically pleasing unit, it has a large screen and is thin and easy to put in a pocket and take with you. - the screen is plenty bright and has a reasonable viewing angle - the mounting system is sturdy - unit is intuitive to use, this is good because the manual that comes with the unit is pretty pathetic - SD card slot for MP3's, images or additional maps - Contains maps of the entire US by default - POI icons are 'customizable' - spoken street names - headphones jack, although driving and using headphones is not a safe thing to do, not sure how useful this feature is. Sound quality this way is good - good runtime on batteries - multiple destination routing The bad: - When using the FM transmitter your 'mileage' may vary, there is a lot of static on every channel I tried, this does... more >>
