Sleek and wide, nüvi 750 leads the way with advanced navigation features, a colorful widescreen display, preloaded maps, an FM transmitter, a travel kit and more. Like the rest of the wide nüvi 700-series, its premium navigation capabilities, like route planning and a handy locator, give you peace of mind on the go. Save up to 10 routes, and specify via points and preview simulated turns on the 4.3 widescreen, or enter your via points and let the nuvi 750 automatically sort multiple destinations for an efficient route for errands, deliveries or sales calls A trip log of up to 10,000 points keeps a record of where you've been on the map for easy reference Speed limits for all major highways and interstates A high-sensitivity internal (non flip-up) antenna keeps the unit sleek and compact while the rechargeable lithium-ion battery allows you to use the unit in and out of the car for up to 5 hours unplugged MP3 playback with Audiobook player (subscription to Audible.com required), JPEG picture viewer, and currency converters Built-in FM transmitter allows you to listen to your music, audio books, and gps voice prompts through your car's stereo] Route avoidance (avoid highways, tolls, etc.), Route setup (choice of faster time, shorter distance, off-road), Auto re-route (fast auto-recalculation when you take a wrong turn or want to avoid traffic), and Custom POIs (ability to add additional points of interest) Optional FM traffic alerts, optional MSN Direct, and Garmin Lock (an anti-theft feature) Interfaces - USB, Audio line-out (headphone) Unit Dimensions - 4.8w x 3h x. 8d Weight - 6.2 oz

Summary: you won't get lost, but it may not take you the fastest way
Comment: I've had this model for a couple years now, and overall, I think this is a decent product. It gets me where I need to go with only some minor hassles. A few general comments, both good, bad, and indifferent:
1. sometimes it takes a few minutes to lock onto a satellite, but once found, I've never had a problem with the connection stability.
2. The ETA calculation definitely does NOT take traffic lights into consideration. It's only accurate if you are staying on the highway (not considering traffic of course), but if you're driving through a city, you'll have to add a buffer for stop lights yourself.
3. it seems as though the database of businesses isn't always accurate. once I was literally in front of a QT gas station, and it told me the nearest gas station was a few miles away.
4. I'm not sure how the routes are calculated - I'm one of those people who uses Google Maps a lot, including for directions, so I often compare the suggested routes between the Garmin and Google, and many times, they are different - sometimes VERY different.
5. the buttons to enter letters/numbers are too small to type quickly, if you're not very precise with your typing, you will consistently have to hit the erase button to correct mistakes.
6. the battery life isn't great, at the most I may get a couple hours before needing to recharge. and the constant "low battery" warnings are amazingly annoying, but I just updated the firmware which I believe has a patch so this may have been fixed. But I can't imagine that any GPS system has great battery life, given the constant drain of satellite communication.
7. after a few years, it seems that the touchscreen has lost sensitivity - I have to press a little harder than I used to in order for it to register my input
This is the only GPS unit I've ever owned, so I can't compare it with TomTom or Magellan or those other brands, or even other Garmin units.

Summary: Love it
Comment: Could not live with out this. I did a great deal of research on this unit before I bought it so I knew what I was getting. The common theme to the dislikes is it take a while to find the satelite (I have not found that to be an issue) and it could be a little more intuitive when putting in the address information (I would agree, but it really is not that bad). The main reason I bought this unit was for my motorcycle, this unit has the voice and an MP3 jack that I can plug into my stereo on the bike and I never have to look down. Work great.

Summary: Had it for six months now, very good w/minor quirks
Comment: So this was the first GPS I've bought before. I bought it awhile before a big road trip I was taking to the northeast US (from Madison, WI) so I could get acclimated to it. Since, I've been on the trip and didn't get lost and argue with family members about where we were once (unlike most every other trip), so that was a big plus. I like being able to add via points when you don't agree with the route it gives you. Also, the time of arrival is pretty amazing, 3 hour trips on back roads and its within a minute or two of the right time. Only traffic or red lights seem to stop that from being right on. Was very helpful when deciding if we had time to make it to a party 3 hours away one day, we made it only 10 minutes late, just like the device told us 3 hours earlier.
A couple minor annoyances I had out east was when I wanted to go around NYC, I had a fairly specific way I wanted to take interstates to go around it, and even after adding a number of via points, it seemed to just turn the route planning in circles and really was hosed up, I ended up having to use it just as a "where am I" thing while following a good old map for what roads I wanted to take. I think when its in a major city, there's just too many roads for its programming to decide from that if you want to change it any, its a major pain. Also, for some reason going around Buffalo, it lost sattellite signals for a couple hours, and I ended up having to take the battery out and putting it back in again to reset it and get the signal back. Not sure what that was about, it only happened that one time.
But other than that, its been great. Very helpful at night when you're in a city you don't know and are trying to find a place to eat or your hotel 15 miles away in the suburbs and don't know where you're going. Normal atlases and state maps aren't going to have all those little city maps, and this thing not only has them all but tells you exactly when to turn and how long to your next turn.

Summary: It Gets Me There
Comment: This is my 2nd Garmin GPS system after the 1st one was stolen. Overall, I love it because I am geographically inept and it makes everything simple. There are several features I do not need, but have learned to use and now very much appreciate such as: BLUETOOTH...so that I can link it to my cell phone and talk hands free, it is simple to use - I have learned to upload music, books on tape, photos, etc. onto it from several different sources in no time, odometer/speedometer/compass/route time, etc. I have not used any other brand of GPS so I do not know how it compares. The downside is the length of time it takes to acquire satellite reception at times AND routing. I am not always guided through the shortest and smartest route to my destination despite keeping the maps updated at [...]. Another negative would be the length of time a fully charged Garmin lasts...which is not very long.
All-in-all, my Garmin has helped me more than it has disappointed me and I am very happy with it and highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a good GPS.

Summary: My First GPS and I love it.
Comment: My wife thought I was purchasing another toy until she had to use it one day. Her attitude changed immediately, especially when she was able to easily navigate through some unknown territory and didn't get lost.
When you purchase this cool little device, be sure to connect it to your computer and update the maps....all free from Garmin. The voices leave a lot to be desired. I use Emily from England because she is understandable. Jill from the USA sounds like a "Valley Girl" and that alone will get you lost!
I love the wide screen and all of the features. A good product that you WILL enjoy using.
