Garmin's nAvis 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 nAvi 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 nAvi 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 nAvi 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 nAvi to any bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nAvi'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
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 nAvi's sophisticated automatic routing will get you back on track in no time.
In most areas, TMC Clear Channel traffic broadcasts are continuous â 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 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.
nAvi 250W accepts custom points of interest (POIs). View larger.
Navigation is just the beginning. All nAvi 700s feature travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, MP3 player, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more.

Garmin Needs HelpNovember 21, 2008 We got the unit back in August and it works great and the unit hasn't expericened any problems and is in use everyday. The car charger tip came off about two weeks after we got received the unit. We contact Garmin and they said they'd ship out a new cord ASAP. Well let's see that was in September and here it is Nov 21 and we are still waiting. Their customer service SUCKS as does their map updating site. Come on get it together Garmin, its not rocket science we're talking about. Just plain old customer service.
Almost everythingNovember 21, 2008 I usually read reviews written by others and figure at least part of the complaints are "user error." Before I ordered the Garmin Nuvi 760 I read the complaints about the FM transmission quality or lack of power and figured it probably had more to do with the cars' radios. Well, I got the 760 and can absolutely agree the FM transmitter capabilities are just barely above non-existant. No way is the music or navigation info transmitted with strong enough of a signal to make it usable. Bummer, as I was hoping to use that feature while we were on a trip in a rental car (wanted to listen to MP3 songs I had loaded on the 760). I've tried it in several cars and always the same results.
Otherwise, the 760 lives up to all the accolades and service. It was great at locating restaraunts while in completely unfamiliar (to me) territory. When the occasional missed turn occured the 760 quickly recalculated a corrected route. I was also very impressed with the 760's ability to display the posted speed limits, which it seemed to update within a few yards of us passing speed limit signs.
Overall a very good product and extremely easy to set up and use. The Bluetooth was a bit squirrely at first, but seems to be okay. The FM capabilities, well, are not capabilities and you should NOT buy the unit if the FM transmitter function is important to you.
Awesome Deal...Super Fast Shipping!November 20, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I ordered my Garmin Nuvi 760 on Monday 11/17/08 and received it on Wednesday 11/19!!!! It took only two days and I chose standard free shipping. The estimated shipping date was originally 11/24. Now that's what I call service...Amazon.com rocks! Anyhoo...one big concern was if it was loaded with old maps...not the case!!! It came loaded with the new North American 2009 maps!!!! Yahooo!!! No need to purchase update or get free download from Garmin. It looks and feels good...screen seems to be touch sensitive enough. I will have to play with features a bit more and test it out. I would recommend this GPS and of course Amazon.com as a seller! Do not buy from Broadwayphoto.com...absolutely rude and horrible customer service...and they refused to make a price adjustment on my order that was on backorder...they should read their own policy on that! Glad I canceled that order and came here...lesson learned. {rant over}
Good ProductNovember 19, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
No problems so far with this unit. i really like the feature that states the name of the street that you need to turn on. other units just state turn left in 200 yards. That can be progmatic if there are two streets close together.
The best of the best in GarminNovember 18, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is my first time I bought a GPS for my car, because during years I have used the Microsoft Street & Trips 2006,2007, 2008 and this 2009 and I have decided to start a new 2009 year changing my MSS 2008 for a new Personal Travel Assistant and it doesnt have comparison. The Nuvi 760 was the best option after I had review hundread options like precision and the price was very cheap additionally it has a incredible resolution, it's compact and easy to go anywhere.
