Garmin continues to build up its nüvi 7xx series portableGPS navigators with its nüvi 755T, which adds a number of handy routing and communication features to an already impressive list of specs, including a 4.3-inch widescreen display, text-to-speech capabilities, media player, and FM transmitter for transmitting audio--including directions and MP3 music and audiobooks--from the device to your car radio.New to the nüvi 7x5 lineup is Garmin's HotFix satellite prediction (which locates your position quickly and precisely), Lane Assist (which provides lane guidance and junction views when possible), automatic time zone transitioning, and 3D Building views as well as Garmin Connect Photos to help you visually ascertain your position. Additionally, the nüvi 755T includes free real-time traffic updates from Navteq (for the life of the device) via the included GTM 20 traffic receiver.The bright, 4.3-inch 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 percent 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.

User Reviews about Garmin nüvi 755 755T 4.3 Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic

This product works pretty good. The driving directions are clear and fairly accurate. The directions of use and how to use the features are poor. I like the display showing time of arrival and speed limits, speed signs are a little sparse in this area, but cops and their tickets are not. I have noticed a lag in responce time. Several times it will tell me I have 500 ft before the turn when in reality I'm right at the turn. It seems to be a few seconds behind me, with my driving style a few seconds behind can be too late. If you drive more reasonably there should be no problem. I am a little disappointed with the lack of additional voices and images that are available for Garmin users looks like the others have snatched up most of the voice-overs.

One thing I wish Garmin would do is let you edit the maps. I drive out to Reservations where the maps do not cover, I would like to program in the roads so I can find my way out or back in again. I know another GPS provider allows you to edit. -- Gets me to the church on time

As a first time GPS user, I was looking for a GPS that would give me the basics but also have some amenities to it as well and this GPS has done just that. I was intrigued by the traffic and the multi-point destinations specifically as it set itself apart from other similarly priced units that had what I wanted.

The traffic feature, when available, is nice and has helped navigate to destinations. It has been reliable as far as how long and where a backup will be. However, I wish that the traffic feature was available in a broader area. Advertisements on GPS are very small and a non-issue.

The multi-point destination, which I was looking foward to, is great to have. Having the speed limit available while driving has also been very useful.

When forced to take an alternate route because of a downed tree, the GPS recalculated very quickly and put me on a differrent route.

The volume and voice is loud and clear from the unit.

In my opinion, this GPS is well worth the price listed on Amazon.


-- Great value for GPS

Upgraded from older Garmin GPS.

I love the lane assist feature on this unit when I'm in unfamiliar areas.

I have two main complaints of this unit. I wish the spoken voices were more clear. I find myself still having to look at the unit because I didn't understand what was said. This can be dangerous in high traffic conditions where you need to make split-second decisions.

My second issue is that the keyboard is too small when typing addresses. I'm sure this is just a matter of time before I adjust but it's definitely been a source of frustration for my wife who has much smaller hands and shouldn't have the same problems I have! -- Lane assist is the bomb

This is a great unit for the money. A happy upgrade over a magellan unit that was now dated and for about the price of new maps for that one I get a ton more features. The traffic reciever is great add-on!

About the only thing that drives me nuts is that it does not power off after a while of the vehicle not moving. My GMC does not turn of the power source so the unit just stays on until you manually shut it off. Annoying to say the least. A simple software update would solve that. -- 99.9% there
