Would have been 5 stars but the newer model has Lane Assist :) Works past my expectation.
Worked on move from NC to NV. Worked in rural MidWest and crowded Dallas & LA. Worked in & over the mountains of NV and southern Cali. Even worked at 41,000ft @ 495mph on Delta. I read the safety pamplet on the back of my seat, GPS' are not prohibited items :) Ever since those commercial pilots got "distracted" somebody needs to make sure they are going the right way. ;) |

| I bought the Garmin nuvi 760 two years ago for my son when he moved to the East Coast for a job. He loved it but after a year he moved into the City and sold his car, so he shipped the Garmin back home to us, and we came to love it and rely on it heavily. Now after having used it for almost a year, son moved back and wanted his Garmin back! I thought that was unreasonable, but I reluctantly gave it back to him, and I really miss it. I see that the price is now less than half what I paid for it originally, so I think I'll have to bite the bullet and buy another. |

| We did a lot of research before purchasing this gps. I have overall been very pleased with this; however, ocassionally, it will lead me on a route that I know is not the best route. Also, on a recent trip to Flordia, it did not recognize the city that I was visiting. Nonetheless, I recommend this product. Oh, and the device that latches onto your ac vent so that you can see your gps, is the biggest pain. Go with the bag. |

I am very disappointed to need to right a review about how unhappy I am with this product. It was working great after I took it out of the box nearly 8 months ago. I even downloaded a female British voice from the GARMIN website which was a novelty, but helps me "really" listen to directions.
However, after 2-3 months of use the glitches began..crashing, freezing, etc. Usually I would turn the device off and on once or twice and it was fine. I even found out online how to reboot, yet this only solved problems temporarily.
After 6-7 months of use the device out right froze a few times and simply wouldn't turn on. I let it rest a couple days, charged it, rebooted and it said the MAPS were unavailable or something like that. A couple emails to customer support later and I received a CODE that reinstalled my MAPS and everything worked fine for another couple weeks.
When this couple week problem free era elapsed the device once again will simply not work. It freezes even after rebooting. UGH!
To ad more cherries on top of this disappointment the device was advertised as "lifetime free traffic"... What they don't tell you is that this only lasts a few months. Then you need to download the access for 50 bucks from GARMINs website.
My buddy picked up the next model at a black Friday sell recently and it appears the "lifetime free traffic" is now true! If I hear of a problem free usage I'll pick one up myself. As for now it was good, but only for a few months. This really bites, because I'm in sales an I actually need it.
I think now is the time to toss it in the trash and shop for something better. |

| This device is not so easy to use. Sometimes you just punch in the address (after entering the city name - why can't it tell you where you are?) and it gets you there. But, often via local roads. It's great to warn of congestion but I often have to reset it on the fly to take the best route. We used it in Italy where it worked well when we stayed on course. But, one time, we had a hard time getting on the AutoStrada and it made us cut through on orchard on a rutted road! |
