The Garmin Nuvi 760 GPS is an almost unanimous favorite amongst consumers and professional reviewers alike. It comes with all of the must-have features in a GPS plus many of the extras that you will quickly decide can’t live without. In addition, since it doesn’t have all the frills the newer models are coming out with, its price has dropped making it very affordable.Most reviews are overwhelmingly favorable, and it is difficult to find a nuvi 760 user who doesn’t highly recomment it.
If you do a lot of traveling or are living in a new, unfamiliar city, the Garmin Nuvi 760 can be a lifesaver. Imagine taking a wrong turn and ending up in downtown Manhattan during rush hour! Nightmares like that won’t happen to you if you have this unit. It will help you find the right turns by even announcing the names of the roads you’re approaching. Reviewers say the navigation is excellent and very reliable and that it’s extremely easy to use. In fact, they have said that the navigation is just as good as that of much more expensive units.
The Nuvi 760 has been run through every kind of test imaginable and has been favorably compared to other similar products. GPSmagazine.com, PCmagazine.com, and About.com all make comparisons to other brands and other Nuvi models. In almost all of the tests, the consensus is that the Nuvi 760 is their top choice for a mid-priced GPS. Even if it doesn’t have all the features that are present on newer models, the ones it has all perform very well.
One website, GPSnow.com states that Garmin is phasing out this model and recommends the 765T, a newer model with more features. But for the most value, the 760 is the overall best choice when you take in to consideration the price you pay for the features you get. The Garmin nuvi 760 can be purchased for about $200 while the 765T will cost you anywhere between $375 and $700. There are some extra features that come with the 765T that you won’t find on the 760, so it will be up to you to decide if it is worth the higher price.
The accessories and maps are all available for the 760, and it will do everything you need a GPS system to do at a very reasonable price. With GPS technology advancing so fast these days, it is difficult to keep up to date without spending quite a bit of money. The bottom line is that the Garmin Nuvi 760 is going to give you sound, dependable service for years to come. It is an excellent value for the price.
