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. 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
Garmin Lock Garmin's patent pending theft prevention system that disables the unit from performing any functions until the user types in a specific 4-digit PIN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location Easy To Use Interface Garmin's interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about your trip.
Beyond Navigation
Navigation is just the beginning. All nüvi 700s feature travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, MP3 player, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. They are also compatible with optional content plug-ins available via SD card, such as the Garmin Travel Guides and Garmin SaversGuide provide detailed data for attractions and information on nearby merchants offering discounts, so you can customize your nüvi for all your travel needs.

 Rating: - Nuvi 760The first nuvi 760 I recieved worked for 3 days then the screen froze up. Kudo's to Amazon on the speed and hassel free replacement. 2nd unit has been great with no problems. The software doesn't always take me the way I would go when leaving my home but, The destinations have always been right on target. The traffic alerts have been very good also. Rating:  - Garmin nuvi 760This nuvi DOES NOT WORK WITH MY MAC. I was unable to use the storage (MP3 player, photos, user points of interest, etc.) because it would not talk to my Mac. I could load but never unload MP3 files. I sent Garmin emails but they never responded. The map software was at least two years out of date for my area (SF Bay). Stores, roads, malls, etc. were not in the database. The Bluetooth worked well and was easy to use, but the sound could not go through the car speakers unless you were listening ... Read More Rating: - ALL IN ALL A GOOD PRODUCTI am happy over all with this product. Though I think for such a pricey item there would be a little more attention to detail. When you decide to pay the extra money for a "better" piece of equipment, you should expect to recieve just that. This is one of the most expensive GPS recievers and i have noteds the following quirks... 1) Volume: Its not loud enough by any means. If you have your radio on even the slightest bit you wont hear the dings and whatnot. 2) Ample time for notification: ... Read More Rating: - Could be the best investment in electronics.I sold my Garmin Nuvi 360 to get this 760 and for the most part I am satisfied however I miss my Nuvi 360's WAAS enabled accuracy. Pressing and holding the signal bar will show you the accuracy of the satellites determining your position and a side by side comparison with my friends 360 confirms the 360 always shows around 6-12 feet accuracy while my 760 since theres no option available to enable WAAS shows 15-24 feet accuracy. WAAS may already be enabled in the 760.....and it may be since it doesnt have a flip ... Read More Rating: - Overall a good product.This product was easy to use. Most controls and settings were intuitive but it should have come with a preprinted manual. You could download and print the manual but for the cost it should have been included. It worked as stated most of the time. It was able to find not only the address you were looking for but could also locate many nearby restaurants, gas stations, churches, lodgings and attractions quickly. Rarely, it had the wrong map at the street level. Its biggest fault was that it would not let you change ...
