Amazon.com Product Description -- January 8, 2008
Garmin's nuevi 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 nuevis, 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 nuevi 760 and 770 add integrated traffic receivers and Bluetooth capability for hands-free calling. The nuevi 770 adds maps for Europe. The nuevi 780 adds enhanced MSN direct content capability.

slim form factor
Garmin's nuevis 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 nuevi 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 nuevi 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 nuevi 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.

Garmin's own navigation is easy to use

Beyond Navigation

Browse your stored pictures with an easy-to-use JPEG viewer.
MP3 PlayerA handy MP3 player lets you play songs stored on SD memory cards. nuevi 250W accepts custom points of interest (POIs). View larger.

Navigation is just the beginning. All nuevi 700s feature travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, MP3 player, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more.

5 out of 5 stars How did we ever manage without it?   November 16, 2008
I remember how often I managed to get lost while driving "BG." (Before Garmin). Now I just enter the address I want to reach - even if I've never been there - and depend on "Betty" (our name for our direction-giver on the Garmin) to get us there safely and on time. It's even reduced greatly my perusals of MapQuest. We are in our 70's and 80's and really appreciate the advance notices of turns, etc., especially whether a freeway exit is to the "right" or "left" here in Florida, as that can be tricky when you find yourself in the "wrong" lane for an approching exit. I can't praise this enough.


5 out of 5 stars Nuvi 750 is Fantastic   November 15, 2008
I've only had it a couple of days but I am extremely pleased. As soon as I connected it to my computer to register the unit it updated the software. I've read all of the reviews, most of them were old and was a little hesitant. I'm glad I bought it! The language pronunciation was dead on, not like other brands I've used and heard. It acquires the satellites usually before the maps are finished loading. I had to go out of town today and it worked perfectly. On the way home I decided to alter the directions it had decided was the best route. As soon as I passed the turn it immediately said "recalculating" and took no more than 2 or 3 seconds to find the new route. I tried to trick it on 4 different occasions with the same results. My "other" brand did not work nearly as fast. Way to go Garmin! I would highly recommend this unit to anyone who doesn't want "all" of the bells and whistles (at a significantly higher cost) though this unit has most of them. I did not want bluetooth since I have a bluetooth headset for my iPhone. You can put photos on it and MP3 files. I really didn't need that either since I connect my iPod through my car's audio auxiliary input. The 750 will be the last GPS I need for a long time.


5 out of 5 stars Garmin Nuvi 750 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS   November 11, 2008
I did my research and decided on the Garmin Nuvi 750. I was going to Salem, Mass. and was it ever a lifesaver. The streets are laid out very differently there from what I am used to and the garmin got me everywhere and back to the motel, even when I didn't follow directions. He would re-calculate and we had fun. For the first time I wasn't afraid of getting lost in a strange place. This boosted my confidence and off I went. Won't be without it again.


3 out of 5 stars Good unit with a few quirks   November 4, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I received this unit as a gift and was very excited about it. I first tried to download the newest software and maps to it, but for some reason it wouldn't register for me. The customer service at Garmin was very helpful though and registered it for me and sent me a direct link to download the software. While they were nice about it, this took about a week to straighten out.
I then took my unit with the updated maps with me on vacation from my home in Pennsylvania to South Carolina. I also had written directions with our usual path on it just to compare. The Garmin took us into a major city in NC with many stoplights rather than the highway we usually take. Major detour mainly due to the traffic lights, low speed limit, and traffic around us. Also, it didn't recognize a major highway that has been there for over 2 years. It showed us as in the middle of a field and constantly repeated "Recalculating" for a good half hour or so. It got to the point where we just shut it off because it got so annoying.
Also, this was when I noticed static/scratchiness to the voice which made it difficult to understand what the GPS was trying to say. The customer service people said this was not supposed to be this way so I exchanged it quickly and easily. However, the exchange brought along the same issue with registering the unit...
The second unit had the same scratchiness in the voice and that was the last straw for me. I just returned the unit yesterday and I think I might try out a Navigon this time.
Overall, I never tried many of the features but the ones I did use, such as POI's were very nice and easy to use. I was pleased with the unit, but it would be nice to understand what it was saying. It also didn't work well in major cities, but I would expect that from most units due to tall buildings and poor satellite reception. Therefore, I give the unit a 3/5. Not as good as what I expected from a Garmin, which I thought would uphold my expectations of it.



4 out of 5 stars Excellent product   November 2, 2008

I've only had the nuvi 750 a little over a month and I haven't had the opportunity to use it on a long trip yet but I am very happy with it...for the most part. I have had three other GPS navigators, two Magellan and one Garmin C330 bought as an emergency back-up for a malfunctioning Magellan Roadmate. It was the cheapest thing I could find on short notice (old maps, slow response time) but it got me home flawlessly. So, when the Roadmate finally died after just two years and no help from Magellan, I did some homework and bought the Garmin nuvi 750 for its features.
My experience so far has been that it boots up quickly, locks on satellites quickly, and calculates routes as quickly as the fastest of my other navigators. It has by far the clearest, brightest, most readable screen (under all conditions) of any I've owned or used. One of the features I like is the speed limit display, on a long drive I'm focused on the driving and will suddenly realize I haven't seen a speed limit sign in a while,... question answered.
Touch "Menu" then "Tools" and among the menu options is "Where am I", it displays your current latitude and longitude, the name and location of the nearest cross street, and lists available emergency services. To me, that's worth the price all by itself.
The routes are accurate and, as far as I can tell, efficient. Unlike some comments, I don't worry about whether the route is the shortest, fastest, most efficient possible. It will never be as good as a knowledgeable human being. The point is, it gets me there and I'm not exhausted as I would be if I had to navigate from maps. The nuvi 750 is a major step up from all of the other GPS' I've owned.
On the down side, to make it so slim and sexy required compromises. The built in amplifier is feeble and the speaker is tinny and buzzy! Inexcusably poor. Fortunately, it has an earphone jack and a built-in fm transmitter which works very well if you tune to the lower end of the fequency range. Since that means you can't listen to anything else on the radio, I use a small sports radio clipped to my belt to monitor directions instead.
Another thing that seems to be characteristic of Garmen is a tendency to lag just a bit. I have to give Magellan credit, the display showed where I was in real time. Although the Garmin gives me turn directions in plenty of time, With both the visual display and voice instruction I'm often actually in the turn before it gives me the last "Turn right on", etc. A minor irritation.
Where it counts though it works beautifully, I have no complaints. In fact UPS just delivered the four more I ordered as Christmas presents.
