User Reviews about Garmin nüvi 760 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator
I bought this GPS last year, so I am a little late doing a review. But I was reviewing another product and decided to do this one too.
I love my Nuvi 760, except for the fact that they were not up front enough about you having to sign up on their website in a certain period of time to get the basic map updates for free.
So, my Nuvi's maps are outdated and I cannot afford to update as the maps are VERY expensive to buy.
Great device, but pretty much a throw-away at this point. And when I do throw it away or give it to a charity, I will buy a brand other than Garmin simply because of them not making it clear that I had a certain time frame to sign up on their website to get their free basic map updates. I think something like that should be printed on the outside of the box for people to see right away!
So, if you buy one of these, or any Garmin. I suggest that you sign up right away on their website so that you don't have to buy maps, or do like me and toss it in the trash once it is too outdated to use anymore. (I figure I have several years use, but will have a lot of misinformation too). -- Great value for a high-end GPS
I like it but just sometimes i need to go somewhere it has clear sky to serch for signal, but once
it get signal then it work just fine. It doesn't have lane assistance but it can listen to music with bluetooth so I think it's a good product. -- Great navigation
Most Garmin auto/mobile GPS units come highly recommended by reviewers. This unit for the most part satisfies. It has been accurate and trouble free in finding and giving directions, not so with other features. Now for the downside. Either the paid renewable subscription type or free traffic updates feature available on many GPS units is a joke. For the most part they are inaccurate and not current and do not give you real time road construction alerts. The next item is the cost of map updates after the first year. Garmin asks for $100.00 I believe. This to me is a little steep considering that the actual cost to Garmin and other providers is most likely a fraction of that. Ah yes marketing. A way to sell more new new units. I will be investigating manufacturers that offer real time traffic reports for a fixed monthly to yearly charge for what I hope is a superior service for not much more than a map update. Since they down sized from the Street Pilot line, the sound stinks. All for looks. The microphone reception in Bluetooth mode is also terrible. Most times you cannot make out what the Bluetooth user is saying. -- Garmin nuvi 760
This was my first GPS unit, and I am quite please. Great POI, maps, and very easy to use. Bought it with the '09 maps and have since upgraded to the '10 maps.
You can pair the 760 with your cell phone via Bluetooth for hands free talking. I believe Garmin has discontinued this model, but if you can find it, buy it.
The only con is that it does not come with a case.
-- Great GPS and More!
