Garmin nüvi 765/765T 4.3-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic

Garmin nüvi 765/765T 4.3-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic Review

I don't know why I never bought a GPS system until now!

Right out of the box it worked like a charm. So easy to set up and use. I haven't used the "traffic" feature yet so I don't haven an opinion.

I was researching all types of these systems over the last couple of months. It can be a bit intimidating just how many there are. But after careful research... reading over customer reviews, professional reviews, I feel I picked the best one.

**When it did arrive by UPS however, the box was just about squashed into a mess. I was afraid to even start the GPS thinking that it was damaged during the delivery. I don't think the driver was expecting me to come to the door as it looked like he was just going to leave it and run. I had paid for a RUSH delivery, it arrived on time, but was surprised I didn't have to sign for it. What's up with that?

Garmin GPS - Joseph N. Burke -
The GPS did a good job finding where I was and recalculating quickly. It did sometimes take me off of main roads to side roads, which I still don't understand. Thankfully it doesn't happen often. The system is quick and easy to use, but yet not always intuitive. I have not yet found out how to display additional attributes on the map screen, that I was accustomed to from a model from another manufacturer. I like this system, and what is important to me is it's quick recalculation as I often travel in and out of congested areas and need quick mapping.






The low down - gsb guy -
i previously had a magellan 4250 but the power connection socket broke so i decided to try another manufacturer.

the pros:
the screen is vivid and clear, the maps are much better quality and provides better navigation instructions.

the cons:
as others have mentioned, does not allow the input of zipcodes (ie: slows you down), the look up of info is very slow. i typed toys r us and it took about 30 seconds for the unit to respond (bad reception in DC?). the touch screen buttons are too small so prone to input mistakes (ie: slows you down). even worse, the unit freezes about 1 second after each character you input (perhaps my unit is defictive). finally, the nuvi couldn't find IKEA. perhaps it was having a bad day so will try IKEA again (i know the location, but am still trying out the unit to compare it with the magellan). so after about a month of use, not very happy at all.
