Customer Review: Garmin Nuvi 760
I took a trip with my truck to try it out. It really is a nice GPS with a lot of features. The menues make sense when you try to find different features.The suction cup mount is solid and held well. The display is clear. I loved the mp3 player and the way it stops the song and announces the upcoming turn. I hooked mine up to the radio through the aux. jack. Navigating the screen was a little tedious if you were on the move but it got easyer as you learned where stuff was. Some things I did not care for are:
1.If you are using a dark icon to represent where you are on the map it is difficult to see at night if you have the screen in the dark mode. I had to change it to a light colored icon.(no big deal)
2. The text to speech was choppy sometimes. This made it hard to react at interstate speeds when your eyes were on the road.
3.FM transmitter was poor. (I’ve never seen a good one yet. They have a weak signal. Laws limit output power)
4. I went to update the map to 2009. You get a free map upgrade to the latest map. This is nice because maps are about $70.00. That’s when the problems started. I downloaded the 1.9 Gig file. Everything went smooth till it tried to update the map file. I would get an error and the update would fail. I re-downloaded the map file in case it got corrupted when I downloaded it the first time. I tried it with Windows XP,Vista and Windows 7 with the same results. Worse yet it corrupted the files on the GPS. Local streets were missing and highway names would be spelled in part english and part foreign charicters. I sent a problem report to Garmin but not being one to give up I tried updating with an old laptop I had laying around and it updated without a hitch. Now I am happy again.
I do not have a bluetooth phone but that looks like a handy feature.
I like the SD memory card slot for extra storage. When you plug your GPS into your computer the Nuvi and the SD card act like external hard drives. You drag and drop stuff onto the drives. It is simple.
Typing in an address is easy. The verbal turn instructions came in time to make the turn and when you turned it suggested staying to the left or right lane if you had another turn coming up quickly. Handy if your on the city freeway. I could recieve satalite signals in parts of my basement. Prety Impressive. Overall I am pretty happy with this GPS. At the pesent time I will not use the bluetooth feature. I will also not use the picture viewer or some of the other gadjets. Would I pay $500.00 for this thing? No. Would I pay $226.00. I think it’s worth that. I will take it for another test run with the updated maps and see if the choppy voice was fixed.
