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.
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 nüvi to any bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nüvi'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 nüvi's sophisticated automatic routing will get you back on track in no time.
In most areas, TMC Clear Channel traffic broadcasts are continuous — 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.

Rating: - Loving the family roadtrips!
We still have much to learn about it as we've only had one big road trip since purchasing. But here is our initial review.
Pros: This is so easy to use!The graphic interface is intuitive. I love the zooming functions and the "recently found destinations" feature.
Huge, clear screen.Touchscreen has just the right sensitivity.
Blue tooth function is cool and works well.
Cons: Wish it would ding when approaching turn.She gives clear instruction ... Read More
Rating: - Mainly a review of the 760 bluetooth
I received the 760 on July 2, 2008 and my cell phone, Samsung u740, initially did not connect.Iupdated the 760 software (download from Garmin) and low and behold it connected.Whew! First hurdle over. I then tried the bluetooth with the cell phone just sitting on the table maybe a few feet away and it had a lot of static.I then tried it in the car and it seemed to work much better even further from the phone.While it can sound a little distant, it is certainly intelligible.And the sound is ...

Rating:  - Nuvi 760
Great Product.Used a 4GB HDSD card for music in an 8 hour trip to Orlando.Nuvi was accurate with directions to attractions, addresses to friends, however, a bit outdated on a few of the ATM locations. In all, a very versatile product that can play music, audio books, or used as a mini album to view pictures.
Rating: - Garmin nuvi 760 is great
The Garmin nuvi 760 is truly idiot-proof. The touch screen is easy to use. The imagery is amazingly useful. The color contrasts work in most lighting. Having now used the device about 10 times, the navigational system only failed once. For some reason, the system could identify the place (restaurant and address) but couldn't give directions. But, when I put in the address, it found the restaurant right away. I like this Garmin nuvi 760 way better than what is in the Prius (our other car).
Rating: - Navigation (fine) Cell Phone Bluetooth usage (poor)
This is a bit daunting to set up and access and the features, but worth the trouble.Sadly, like so many products today there is no manual included in the box.It must be downloaded from the Garmin Web site and comes to 60 pages.It's a must have by the way.
The Bluetooth sound quality with my Verizon LG 8300 cell phone was absolutely useless for me.I stress "for me" because it may work better for others.I am in Los Angeles. If you can and it's important to you, try that before you ... Read More
