- Great Item!
- This is a great GPS unit, it has just about everything you need GPS, Bluetooth, Mp3 Player and it the Points-of-Interest can be modifed. The only downside is the price and the 7 series doesn't receive voice recognition locations.

- Don't buy into the bells and whistles
- Here's the jist of my Garmin experiance:
I purchased both the Garmin 760 and the 680, and this review applies to each.
The FM transmitter is not clear (on any channel). I live in a suburb of the Twin Cities for reference). Maybe out in the country this would have worked better). So in populated areas it is unusable as a MP3 player, and unless you want to listen to intermittent static between directions, you'll just use the internal speaker. The blue-tooth also works, but not great, so unless you want to sound like you're in a box, you'll stop using that. The traffic mode did NOT redirect me around backed up freeway.
Buy a SIMPLIFIED GPS unit (don't even get wide-screen, because you won't need it, although it sounds nice) next one I buy will be small and just get me from A to B, with no bells and whistles. - 2008-07-08, 4 of 9 people found this review helpful, Rated:

- Versatile
- I bought this to replace my wife's old Garmin c320. Part of my motivation was to help her comply with the new hands-free law in California. The bluetooth hands free feature was easy to setup and works great. We also like the FM transmitter. Although we live in a major metropolitan area with a crowded FM band, we find we don't notice the small amount of interference on the channel unless the car is stopped and very quiet. All in all, having a little background noise is worth being able to hear navigation instructions and music better through the car speakers.
The navigation interface on this device is much more refined than the previous one we had. In addition to faster seek/calculation times, it is clearer (helped in part by the larger screen) and gives welcome additional information such as the car's current speed and the speed limit for the road currently traveled. The route feature which will give the shortest route for multiple destinations is also very useful.
We decided to go ahead and use the dash disc to mount the unit. At first we were frustrated because it didn't stick very well. After leaving the disc alone overnight without the unit attached though we found it was fine. The mount is better than the one that came with the c320.
We love that this device eliminates the need for so many separate devices. Why have a separate FM transmitter, mp3 player, hands-free kit and navigation unit? The fact that these functions are integrated smoothly, is worth something in and of itself. - 2008-07-07, 3 of 3 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- More then I expected
- I got this for my son's graduation from college. He had borrowed his friends GPS systems but found this one to be the best. He uses it all the time now that he lives in a new city and it has never failed him.
