Rating  - great GPS
Great GPS- we have used other brands in rental cars and this is the best yet! Very fast, and I use it every day and it hasn't gotten me lost or sent me on a route where I felt I shhould have gone a different way. Very easy to use. The traffic feature that I didn't think I needed is amazing. Highly recommended.
Rating  - Generally pleased
I purchased this product for my husband for his birthday. He seems to be very pleased with the Garmin nuvi 760. He quickly realized though that the maps are not current. There is a road that we travel quite frequently that does not show up on the system and this road has been in existence for at least 3 to 4 years. It is a bypass route around our town and is heavily travelled so one would expect it to show up on the map. When we drive that road, the Garmin shows us driving through a field. :)
Rating  - Sleek design and user interface; but it doesn't work reliably
I did a very significant amount of research before purchasing this GPS system, and felt very comfortable at the time that the nuvi 760 was the best choice given my needs. I wanted a wide GPS display in a thin device that could be stored easily, had Bluetooth functionality, and had accurate and fast directions. The 760 was supposed to have all of that. However, we've been incredibly dissapointed with this device and could not recommend it to others.
The key problems are, in order of signficance:
1. The nuvi 760 fails to acquire satellite signal. My device would consistently go 5-10 minutes trying to look acquire a lock from the GPS satellites outdoors outside the car in plain view of completely clear skies. Given that most errands usually take 10-20 minutes of driving time, a 10 minute delay before the GPS starts working renders the device completely useless.
2. The device sometimes has trouble correctly assesing the location of the vehicle. My device would show us driving on the grass, off a road or even on the water while we were driving on a highway. It also seems to get "confused" easily and it recalculates routes constantly, albeit all of them being wrong.
3. The Bluetooth feature is very poor. The voice quality is bad and you have to yell for others to be able to hear you. It's no better than simply using the speaker feature of your cell phone, and significantly inferior to a $30 bluetooth earpiece you can pick up at Radio Shack.
It's unfortunate because the device, in theory, has all of the features I was looking for.
