Amazon.com Product Description -- January 8, 2008
Garmin's nuevi 700 series brings two exciting new features -- multi-destination routing and, "Where am I?/Where's my car?" -- to its popular pocket-sized GPS navigator lineup. As with all nuevis, you get Garmin reliability, the fast satellite lock of an integrated high-sensitivity receiver, a slim, pocket-sized design with a gorgeous display, an easy, intuitive interface, and detailed NAVTEQ maps for the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico with more than 6 million name-searchable points of interest. All of the 700-series navigators also feature a rich array of features including spoken directions in real street names, MP3 player and photo viewer, and an FM transmitter that will play voice prompts, MP3s, audio books, and more, directly through your vehicle's stereo system. The nuevi 760 and 770 add integrated traffic receivers and Bluetooth capability for hands-free calling. The nuevi 770 adds maps for Europe. The nuevi 780 adds enhanced MSN direct content capability.

slim form factor
Garmin's nuevis pack top of the line features into a slim form factor.
Wider screen lets you see more of what's around. Compare these actual size views of a 3-inch (diagonal) screen
3-inch screen


and a 4.3-inch diagonal widescreen
4.3-inch screen

New Features -- Where Am I? Where's My Car?
The nuevi 700 series is the first to answer two common questions: "Where am I?" 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 nuevi 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. It 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 nuevi 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 (POIs), including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping.

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

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 PIN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location

Easy To Use Interface
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.

Garmin's own navigation is easy to use

Beyond Navigation

5 out of 5 stars An amazing machine   September 30, 2008
I've extensively tested this on two long trips in unfamiliar territory. It worked flawlessly. Acquiring satellites has a lot to do with where you are. In the city it takes a bit longer. But I'm never in that much of a hurry. In both highway and rural situations, I felt you got a long enough verbal warning of an upcoming turn. I had several situations where I was with a "local" and they scoffed at the directions saying there were turns shown that didn't exist, but they did exist.

Complaints? A few minor ones. It keeps track of all the places you've found and navigated to. You can clear them but it's all or nothing. I'd like to be able to select which ones I deleted. There were also some POIs it should have known but didn't. Notably a 10 year old hotel in Seattle. I could never get the FM broadcast thing to work where you get the instruction through the car radio. Too much static. But I'm hearing impaired and could plainly understand all verbal instructions.

The times I was most pleased was coming into a large unfamiliar city to go to a museum. Instead of nervously looking for signs or trying to navigate to a particular part of town, you felt confident as it routed you flawlessly to your destination.

One tip for those buying this device. I also got a mounting clip available here but cheaper elsewhere that connects to the ball on the back of the mounting plate and then has alligator looking clips that slide into the horizontal (doesn't work with vertical) air vents on your dashboard. This worked very well in different rental cars and was stable and held it over bumps and uneven roads. Lots easier than the windshield suction cup with no telltale marks for car thieves to target.

I'm very pleased with this amazing piece of electronics.



5 out of 5 stars Nuvi 750   September 30, 2008
This is a great product. It isn't 100% perfect but, very close to it. It is really hard to get lost when you use it to navigate.


4 out of 5 stars garmin 750   September 30, 2008
this unit is pretty cool, i had the 350 and i loved it until it was stolen. the 750 has a few options that the 350 didnt have but honestly if i could go back in time i would have gotten the 350 again. however if you have to make like 10 stops then the trip planner of the 750 would be key. little advice, get theone with the live trific report. im kicking my self for not spending the extra 80 bucks.


4 out of 5 stars Great GPS for first-time user   September 30, 2008
Purchased this about a month ago. I am in sales and this has been a great addition when I'm on the road. It's easy to use and I love the Points of Interest feature - that is a lifesaver when traveling. I would definitely recommend this product if you're shopping for a GPS.


4 out of 5 stars Pretty solid   September 25, 2008
I've had this for a couple of days now along with my father who is technologically illiterate. He finds the unit very simple to use and that says something in itself. The screen is big, and I absolutely love it. I've noticed a lot of people saying that the it takes a while to acquire a satellite. Since I have a software upgrade OCD, I went to the garmin site to see if there are any other software that I could download for the device. Would you know there is a firmware upgrade for it that was recently release for the nuvi 750. Before the firmware upgrade, the device locked up alot, and now it rarely does. I think if people upgraded their firmware, most of their problems would go away. Honestly speaking though, I'm still in the honeymoon stage for it. But so far it hasn't been that bad. The occasional need to find satellites but it's faster than what most people say it is. Upgrade the firmware on the site and it'll become that perfect device you've been looking for. Cheers
