As with all nA vis, 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 nA vi 760 and 770 add integrated traffic receivers and Bluetooth capability for hands-free calling. The nA vi 770 adds maps for Europe. The nA vi 780 adds enhanced MSN direct content capability..

slim form factor
Garmin's nA vis 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 nA vi 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 nA vi 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 nA vi 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.

Hands-Free Calling
In more and more places, it is becoming illegal to use cell phones while driving without a hands-free kit. WIth Bluetooth capability, microphone and speaker, you can match your nA vi to any bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nA vi's touch screen keypad to make a call on a compatible phone. To answer an incoming call, just tap the screen and speak into the built-in microphone. Making and taking calls on the road has never been easier, or safer. In addition, Garmin makes it a breeze to look-up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or even tap into your cell phone's call history log.

Integrated FM Traffic Receiver
TMC traffic service coverage map
Steer clear of traffic with an integrated FM traffic receiver designed to receive alerts from TMC Clear Channel about traffic tie-ups and road construction that might lie ahead on your route. All you have to do is simply touch the screen to view traffic details and you'll be ready to detour around any problem area. And if you end up missing a turn, or you're forced into a detour that is not relayed through the traffic receiver, the nA vi's sophisticated automatic routing will get you back on track in no time.

In most areas, TMC Clear Channel traffic broadcasts are continuous a there's no waiting for scheduled traffic news updates or random alerts. Because traffic broadcasts are received via a "silent" FM data channel, you can still listen to music or news programming on your car radio without interference from incoming FM traffic data transmissions.

A 3-month subscription to TMC Clear Channel's Total Traffic Network is included with purchase of this device. For more information on subscription fees, coverage in individual cities, and traffic data networks in the United Kingdom and Europe, check the Garmin website.


Garmin Lock

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

3 out of 5 stars Garmin Nuvi 760 4.3 inch Widescreen GPS   January 8, 2009
Jennifer Mccorkle (Redmond WA)
I was excited to get this GPS and did a lot of research on GPS's. I am a little disappointed in a few things. It didn't come with any case or cover to protect it so I had to buy one. To test it I put in places I knew how to get to and it always takes me the long way around without giving me any options for shortest route!! Even to or from going home it takes me miles out of the way. Also mispronounces major streets i.e. SamMAMish is pronounced as SaMANish...gets irritating after a while. Gets you there eventually, but just not on the shortest or fastest route. The screen is nice, easy to use and enter information. Has a good built in list of places to go i.e. banks, stores, shopping etc.Garmin nuevi 760 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Automobile Navigator


4 out of 5 stars Great for the GPS function   January 8, 2009
Loves technology when it works
I have enjoyed this GPS since the day I received it. It is accurate and fast. My only caution is to buy the GPS for its main function and not spend the extra $$ for the MP3 player and Bluetooth. Both functions work, but for as loud as I have to set the volume, the speakers are grainy. However, if you find it on an amazing sale like I did, go for it.


5 out of 5 stars Definitely a great buy!!!   January 8, 2009
CCB (New Jersey)
Can't say enough good things about this. It's so user friendly and "recalculates" pretty quick if you make a wrong turn.

If there must be a "down" side, in my opinion it's pretty small. When you first turn it on, it takes quite a while (about 2-3 minutes) to load up and start. But once it doesn, it the best.

Hope this helps.



5 out of 5 stars Very Pleased   January 8, 2009
witchwoman (Florida USA)
Purchased this item as a Christmas gift for my husband. We are both very pleased with the performance. No more getting lost and searching for addresses. Well worth the money!


4 out of 5 stars Nuvi 760 Review   January 8, 2009
Santiago Arroyo (GA USA)
AMAZON provided excellent customer support when I had to return to 1st GPS that I received. They shipped me a new one immediately and gave me 30 days to return the defective one. I consider the quality of the product to be GOOD. During a recent trip to Miami I noticed that in busy intersections sometimes I was given the incorrect exit. But overall, I believe that it is a good buy.
