Review Summary
As expected the Garmin Nuvi 750/760/770 is a solid performer, navigating routes with ease, and confidence. I would rate it a Top Pick for the GPS buyers and for the months to come. Clearly takes its rightful place at the top of the Garmin line. The wide, bright screen with the new layout of buttons allows for quick easy entry of information and data. The Nuvi 750/760/770 has a lot of features, which brings along a lot of options and changes to be made. Despite this plethora of options and settings, the Garmin interface allows for easy navigation around these features in a logical way.

The new slim design is a nice update, and I welcome the improvements to the system with the addition of the “Where am I?” button that is convenient and offers confidence to find help when you need it. I personally love the multi-point routing and the option to optimize the destinations to get the best route. I’d love to see at least the multi-point routing on the reset of the line, and while it might stay on the top of the line for a while, I'd like to see the route optimization work down the line too. The changes made here are not revolutionary in the GPS world, and versus the Nuvi 600 series, but they are significant enough to make those looking at the Nuvi 600 series to think again and consider the Nuvi 700 series before making their purchase decision. As the Nuvi 700 series moves into the market, I fully expect that the prices for the Nuvi 750/760/770 to be close enough to the Nuvi 650/660/670 to be enticing and small enough to make that trade-up easy.

 

I like the QWERTY keyboard option. Entering letters on my Nuvi 660 with the ABC keyboard is a PITA.

 

The thing I haven't seen yet is whether you can actually DO anything with the "breadcrumb" track it saves - can you pull it off onto your computer? And then turn it into a GoogleEarth track? Because that's the only thing that's really missing now that they can do multi-point routing...

 

Edit:
Just updated to FW version 2.2 and now there is a way internal to the 760 to play back tracks..

Mapsource software is the "easiest" way to view tracks... But the 760 are not shipping with that in the box...

Others have figured out a way .. details here
Does not sound straight forward.. but if you wanted to see where you have been... there is a way...

Maybe that helps??

 

If only I didn't already have a less than 2 months old 660... Oh well, the ability to display the speed limit of just about any road on the 760 is VERY cool though. And that ABC keyboard really is a major pain.

 

I also have a Nuvi 660 only about three months old. It does everything I need fairly well, and it will continue to be my GPS of choice for the foreseeable future.

I am disappointed by Garmin though because most of the new "features" of the 700 line are software based and should have been concurrently released in a software update for the 600 series. Remember that the 600 series is *not* old or outdated... They haven't been around too long!

Now I DO understand that a company has to keep progressing their products to remain in business and make money, and GPS systems are not the only areas where this happens. However, a GPS is an expensive investment and should not be considered a "disposable" tool every 6 to 12 months. These devices are purchased and should remain updated for at least a 3 year life span. My case in point is that since the 600 line was released, owners have liked them very much, and been very vocal in GPS forums and technical support about the features we would like to see added or modified. Garmin has listened, and implemented almost ALL of these changes, but not as an update to the 600... instead they released the 700 series.

Tomtom has been much better in keeping their older products continually refreshed. If only they used a better map product...

 

How much was that badboy? Did you use a Kuda mount to the right of the speedo?
