So far this Nuvi has worked very well and has taken me right to where I needed to go. The only hiccup was trying to get a signal in downtown Seattle, but once it found us, it stayed with us even when temporarily under buildings. from Amazon.com I purchased the Garmin Nuvi 760 unit from Amazon after doing a thorough review of available GPS devices on the market. In the past during my many rental car excursions, I have used both TomTom and Garmin, but Garmin was the one I was most familiar with. from Amazon.com I have been using GPS device for more than 4 years now. I started with laptop based GPS softwares, then bought TomTom Go 510. I wasn't very happy with TomTom so I decided to purchase Garmin since it has very good reputation as well as international support. After 1 year of usage, I think I know every detail of this device so that I can review in very detail. from Amazon.com I have been using multiple GPS devices for more than 5 years now. I started with laptop based GPS softwares, then bought TomTom Go 510 4 years ago. I wasn't very happy with TomTom so I decided to purchase Garmin since it has very good reputation as well as international support. After 1 year of usage, I think I know every detail of this device so that I can review in very detail. from Amazon.com This is actually the second Garmin Nuvi I have purchased (both as gifts). My mom and my sister both love them and have used them to get to all sorts of new places. from Amazon.com The Garmin nuvi 760 4.3- inch is my first Garmin and I am a very satisfied customer. The only downside it does not come with the instruction book, so kind of play with that and get familiar. from Amazon.com Comparable with my husbands Zumo 660 in reference with navigation, without the added price. Displays posted speed limit for the road being travelled on the screen but doesn't show how fast you are going like on my Nuvi 250W. You can see that information by going to the dashboard screen. from Amazon.com I have a Honda Accord with GPS and bought a new Chevy truck without GPS. I got really used to using the GPS in the Honda, even just viewing the upcoming streets was a good info to have. So I decided to get a Garmin based on reviews and articles comparing it to TomTom. Decided to get the 760 based on the Bluetooth. from Amazon.com Garmin has deleted cities, towns and points of interest from their maps. The newest map edition will not display any cites or towns on the navigation map. from Amazon.com My wife likes it too, we have a laptop with Streets and trips and it is good for programing long trips, but the gps has lost signal and failed to many times when we needed it, also the laptop is to large for the car, we use it in the motorhome. I also have Delorme Street Atlas for the laptop and it is very hard to program. Just completed a 900 mile trip, used the garmin on the way home by programming short routes. The garmin showed me an easy way to get on to state road 9A southbound from I-95. from Amazon.com
