Garmin Nuvi 780 Car GPS Receiver

$372.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
adjusting the volume of the blue tooth system is a little difficult and i could not get the fm transmitter to be picked up on the car radio but it has an internal speaker.
from www.amazon.com
it was easy to get the sound to come from my radio by simply dialing the right fm channel.
from www.amazon.com
the fm transmitter is one of the best i found on a gps and the picture feature is great i even put it in my room as an lcd screen for pictures hehehe.
from www.amazon.com
the speaker is loud enough that i haven't had any trouble hearing it, although i have to turn the radio down sometimes.
from www.amazon.com
still haven't figured out how to play it through my car radio, even though that should be simple.

from www.amazon.com
the product is great, but the fm traffic is not worth the effort.
from Brian, www.newegg.com
despite oklahoma city not being listed in the coverage area for the fm traffic feature, it must have been added recently as i am receiving a signal and getting traffic reports for the local roads here
from zoso, www.newegg.com
it's also fun to download different animated icons to represent the car.the best feature of this unit is the free fm traffic.

from www.amazon.com
i have no concerns with battery life or the traffic receiver being in the cord, as i leave it plugged in most all the time.

it has a no extra bells and whistles (no mp3 player -lol, doesn't speak road names - annoying, no maps of alaska or canada - not needed, no fm transmitter to listen to mp3 - useless gimmick, etc.).
from www.amazon.com
each time it required the signal quickly with no effort and we were able to get over 8 hours out of the four hour battery charge.
