Its sunlight-readable, 4.3-inch display is easy to read - from any direction.n?vi 760 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps and millions of points of interest (POIs) such as hotels, restaurants, fuel stations, ATMs and more. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and n?vi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. It even announces the name of exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes off the road.

The European version even includes a preloaded safety camera database containing locations of cameras for parts of Europe.

Summary: Garmin 760 software stopped working when I was driving
Comment: My Garmin GPS 760 is currently installed with nuvi 7 series - version 3.00, GPS SW version: 3.00s, GTM SW version 4.80. The software stopped when I drove. One of my friends in the car noticed this situation. Then I touched the GPS screen to try to go back to the menu but this GPS failed to show the menu. The only thing to get it work is to turn the GPS off and on again.
There are some other points of weakness which the other uses mentioned and I have experienced. For instance, its GTM 20's cigarette lighter adapter is easy to break (I have asked one replacement). It sometimes took more than 10 minutes to acquire satellites even in the clear California sky.
It's my first GPS device. Since its price is not so cheap, I have expected the high reliability, robustness, and performance of this product.

Summary: Loving the family roadtrips!
Comment: We still have much to learn about it as we've only had one big road trip since purchasing. But here is our initial review.
Pros: This is so easy to use! The graphic interface is intuitive. I love the zooming functions and the "recently found destinations" feature.
Huge, clear screen. Touchscreen has just the right sensitivity.
Blue tooth function is cool and works well.
Cons: Wish it would ding when approaching turn. She gives clear instruction but you have to pay close attention when turns are near.
Would like reasoning as to why she chooses a route. We ended up on some back roads in Georgia on our way to Hilton Head. Perhaps she was avoiding traffic? We were baffled as we saw cars zipping by on the interstate as we weaved through traffic lights. Maybe she selected a scenic route for us? None the less, we had a good laugh.
Overall: Very pleased and would purchase the same unit again.

Summary: Mainly a review of the 760 bluetooth
Comment: I received the 760 on July 2, 2008 and my cell phone, Samsung u740, initially did not connect. I updated the 760 software (download from Garmin) and low and behold it connected. Whew! First hurdle over. I then tried the bluetooth with the cell phone just sitting on the table maybe a few feet away and it had a lot of static. I then tried it in the car and it seemed to work much better even further from the phone. While it can sound a little distant, it is certainly intelligible. And the sound is good enough (don't turn it past 90% volume or it will break up too much). The fm worked though I don't like it as much as the internal speaker. Well, that's the limit of my expertise, or at least what I feel even slightly able to judge about this GPS.
Only time will tell if I even keep it. Not the units fault. I really just need a hands-free unit for the car and I'm a little worried it is going to cause someone to break into my car and steal it. Or, I'll wind up leaving it hidden and never use it. At least now I can see the value of buying a car with a unit already built in.

Summary: Nuvi 760
Comment: Great Product. Used a 4GB HDSD card for music in an 8 hour trip to Orlando. Nuvi was accurate with directions to attractions, addresses to friends, however, a bit outdated on a few of the ATM locations. In all, a very versatile product that can play music, audio books, or used as a mini album to view pictures.

Summary: Garmin nuvi 760 is great
Comment: The Garmin nuvi 760 is truly idiot-proof. The touch screen is easy to use. The imagery is amazingly useful. The color contrasts work in most lighting. Having now used the device about 10 times, the navigational system only failed once. For some reason, the system could identify the place (restaurant and address) but couldn't give directions. But, when I put in the address, it found the restaurant right away. I like this Garmin nuvi 760 way better than what is in the Prius (our other car).
