Well let's see that was in September and here it is Nov 21 and we are still waiting. Come on get it together Garmin, its not rocket science we're talking about. We got the unit back in August and it works great and the unit hasn't expericened any problems and is in use everyday. Their customer service SUCKS as does their map updating site. Just plain old customer service. 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.
The Bluetooth was a bit squirrely at first, but seems to be okay. 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. When the occasional missed turn occured the 760 quickly recalculated a corrected route.
Well, I got the 760 and can absolutely agree the FM transmitter capabilities are just barely above non-existant. I've tried it in several cars and always the same results.Otherwise, the 760 lives up to all the accolades and service. 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.
It was great at locating restaraunts while in completely unfamiliar (to me) territory. The FM capabilities, well, are not capabilities and you should NOT buy the unit if the FM transmitter function is important to you. 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 ordered my Garmin Nuvi 760 on Monday 11/17/08 and received it on Wednesday 11/19. Yahooo. The estimated shipping date was originally 11/24. Anyhoo.one big concern was if it was loaded with old maps.not the case.
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. No need to purchase update or get free download from Garmin. I will have to play with features a bit more and test it out. Glad I canceled that order and came here.lesson learned. I would recommend this GPS and of course Amazon.com as a seller. It took only two days and I chose standard free shipping.
It looks and feels good.screen seems to be touch sensitive enough. {rant over} Now that's what I call service.Amazon.com rocks. It came loaded with the new North American 2009 maps.
That can be progmatic if there are two streets close together. other units just state turn left in 200 yards. 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.
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.
