 Average GPS, nothing extraordinary, you can find something better for same price. January 6, 2009

I spent several months reviewing all brands and functionalities on GPS and finally I decided Garmin for some reasons. After couple weeks of usage I can say Im not 100% satisfied with the product. Is to slow to calculate routes, acquire satellite signal and not enough points of interest loaded. Good thins are, FM transmitter, bluetooth connection with my mobile, 3D view on buildings(just fancy you never use it)and free traffic updates.
Many times during the route the equipment just turned off by itself, I call Garmin and they update the software, it looks ok now. Battery runs out very fast.
I don't know but I would like a GPS more accurate and easier to operate. This one when you have to make a turn is confusing because doesn't make any special sound or comment to let you know, so pretty much you have to put a lot of attention....I think I could have a better GPS for that amount of money, just Garmin didn't impressed me.

Compared to other GPS navigators, this one was by far the easiest and most reliable I have ever used. The day of my long trip, I removed it from the box, plugged it in, and away I went. I did not have to read a manual in order to operate this system. Very user friendly. The voice commands are extremely clear and accurately got me to all my destinations with no problems or hesitations. The only drawback was the Bluetooth as others had mentioned. The people that I spoke with on the phone said that my voice was very broken up and hard to hear, however, I could hear perfectly through my stereo sound system. To me all the other features, by far, make up for the difference. Another neat feature was when I removed my camera chip and place it into the GPS to watch the pictures that I had recently taken on my trip. I love the Lane Assistant whenever I was not sure which lane to be in before an intersection change. I also experienced a major traffic accident on the highway and the navigator immediately removed me from the freeway, through alternate routes, and back on where traffic was light. Very quickly reroutes whenever I missed a turn. This is a very important things when you are in a strange place. I highly recommend this system.

This GPS has a bright screen. The audio is OK... not great. The accuracy of the directions are erratic. It easily gets "Confused". Satalite acqusition is OF and the lock appears to be strong. Traffic is OK. Location is off greatly. There is no "bell or ding" before it speaks. It does not take zip codes which I think that it should. Lane Guidence and Bluetooth has not been tested. Technical support at Garmin is a big pain.
I would not buy this Garmin Nuvi 765T again unless Garmin greatly improves it and their technical support. I am keeping it only because I need it right now.
Garmin Nuvi 765T ... Could be much better January 6, 2009
This is my first GPS. It appears to function properly most of the time. There are times when it indicates that I am on a street that I have never heard of.
I have registered and completely updated the unit. It appears to acquire satilites quickly and maintains a good lock; re-routing seems to take more time than I would like.
I have talked with Garmin tech support a number of times, and I have mixed feelings about them. Some are concerned with my questions; and others appear to care less.
The Fm radio transmission is adequate, but could be a problem when traveling since a blank station in one area can be occupied in another area. I believe that this is a result of US radio transmission laws regarding the FM output of the GPS. I have not tried the BlueTooth feature. I have not tried the FM traffic nor the lane guidence.
I noticed that it will give the wrong directions if there are 2 or more similiar addresses that are close together ... I arrived at my destination, and the GPS said that I had 1.6 miles to go to get there. It refuses to accept my hometown; instead I have to use the name of the next town over. It will not accept zip codes which could possibly alleviate this town confusion that it seems to have.
This GPS does not appear to be as accutate as others that my friends use. It could be off as much as 75 feet.
The screen is bright and is not diminished by the sun. The sound is adequate so long as your vehicle is fairly quiet. The touch screen is responsive.
I want to get a GPS for my wife, and I am looking at other Garmins and other manufacturers, because I do not think that she could live with all of its quirks.
If you get this unit, Register and Update it. I probably would choose another GPS over this one unless Garmin gets it right. Good Luck...
Even if I know how to get there I take it with me January 3, 2009

My wife and I bought this as a Christmas gift to each other after getting stuck in traffic coming back home after Thanksgiving. I will start by saying that this is my first gps unit so I was impressed when I turned it on. I always thought you had to have a clear view of the sky for this thing to work, but it worked in my living room with the blinds closed. Also, with the exception of the first power up, it finds the satellites very quickly.
I immediately hooked it to my computer running Windows XP home edition. I downloaded any updates that were available. I also went to the garmin garage and got a few little gadget vehicles for the display and downloaded some cool voices. Then we took it on our trip over Christmas.
Hey, I knew exactly where we were going, but it was a new toy so I was excited to try it out. Right away we headed in a different direction than the gps unit suggested. It automatically recalculated the route to the route that I usually take. I was able to find points of interest very easily while traveling and it gave me the option of setting the POI as my destination or a via point. I set it as the via point and it kept my original destination the same while helping me find the POI. The only thing is, when you do it this way it sets the via point as a u turn so it keeps giving you instructions to turn around when you are at the POI. I made the mistake of removing the unit and turning it off while at the POI, so I had to reprogram for my destination anyway.
The lane assist worked very well. It really only comes up when there are more than one lane for the exit. It worked everytime in St. Louis. We already knew which exit to take, so it wasn't that helpful, but if we were in an unfamiliar city, it would be a big help.
We did receive a phone call using the bluetooth feature. The person on the other end of the line had a little trouble hearing us when we talked. I think I'm going to get the external microphone to help out with this.
The FM transmitter worked great, but if we are already using the stereo then it is useless. When there wasn't a lot of noise in the car, the voice thru the built in speaker was fine, we did have it turned up to 90%.
I liked the custom route feature, but I would have liked to be able to save the custom route into the favorites. To get the custom route you have to go to the custom route menu and select the route that you programmed.
I also liked the 3D building feature. It would be fun to use in New York or other big cities. The Las Vegas 3D building view was impressive, but that region seemed to be a little glitchy with the display. May just need a software fix.
Overall I was very impressed with the unit. I have only used it for a week and haven't even scratched the surface of its capabilities, but I believe it is a good unit for the money spent.
