Amazon.com Product Description -- January 8, 2008 Garmin's nüvi 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 nüvis, 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 nüvi 760 and 770 add integrated traffic receivers and Bluetooth capability for hands-free calling. The nüvi 770 adds maps for Europe. The nüvi 780 adds enhanced MSN direct content capability. Which nüvi is Best for You?: Click here to see a quick, simple comparison of features for all Garmin nuvi GPS navigators  Garmin's nüvis 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  and a 4.3-inch diagonal widescreen  | New Features -- Where Am I? Where's My Car? The nüvi 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 nüvi 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 nüvi 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. Beyond Navigation  Browse your stored pictures with an easy-to-use JPEG viewer. | A handy MP3 player lets you play songs stored on SD memory cards. | nüvi 250W accepts custom points of interest (POIs). View larger. | Navigation is just the beginning.

Danny January 8, 2009 D. Gilliam (Morehead, KY USA) Garmin nüvi 750 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator with Portable Dashboard Mount IncludedI am very happy with this purchase. Great survise and the product works as promised.
Works well January 7, 2009 J. W. Jones (Arizona, USA) So far so good. It is sometimes a little slow in picking up satalites, and we did have a problem described below, but otherwise, we are very happy with it. The problem was when we picked a different language (from the ones listed in the menu). It then wouldn't let us change the language/speaker until we did a fuller reset.
GARMIN 750 January 6, 2009 Preston L. Johnson We have never owned a GPS, and this was a Christmas present for my wife; therfore, we didn't try it out until after Christmas. The 4.3" size is perfect, and the animation is very good, as are the instructions on the screen. We experienced a problem with the sound. It didn't work (did sputter a word or two now and then), but mostly just didn't work. This did not lower our opinion much since we just assumed that we received a defective one, and returned it for a new replacement, which we are now waiting on. Assuming that the new replacement works properly, I would certainly recommend this GPS. P.J. Dublin, GA USA
Garmin 750 December 29, 2008 Larry (Denver) With limited use so far I am quite happy with this navigator. It is accurate and gives good verbal commands. Only complaint is that the tiny speaker is difficult to hear in traffic. The FM radio mode works well in certain areas but around our city there is not a good clear/unused frequency to use for the interface. Our rear window antenna is part of the problem. Positioning for best reception is not best for visual sighting of the screen. That said, I'd buy it again without question.
I like the Garmin Nuvi 750! December 28, 2008 Cleveland GPS user (Cleveland, OH USA) I have had a number of auto GPS's over the years and the Garmin Nuvi is easily the best of the bunch. It is easy and intuitive to use and has a good database of points of interest. I would definitely recommend this product to others. Just to nitpick: I don't like the voice commands - they sound very artificial as compared to the pleasant, smooth, unflappable voice on previous models. Aslo, it does not come with a cover to protect the screen when you store it when parked (I would never leave it sitting out which would tempt an opportunistic thief to break a window and steal it).
