Strengths: being able to modify tts voices and non tts voices. bluetooth, last known location, size, weight, loads and loads of features.
Weaknesses: such a great product, someone might try to steal it.
Summary: this is prolly one of the most useful things i have ever owned. i do a lot of driving for work, and never knew how much time looking at a map takes up. the bluetooth makes it easier to drive as well, with a big work truck like mine. moving my 760 from my car to work truck is a breeze, and with its 5 hour at least battery i dont even need to bring along my charger during work days. all around a great product, and would recommend it to anyone. was going to get a 350, and then saw the 760 on sale. love the turn by turn w/names on the 760.

Strengths: Uses same mounting bracket and power cord (with FM traffic receiver) as my previous Garmin StreePilot 350. Also has the same menu items, so was extremely easy to set up.
Weaknesses: Haven't found any yet. If it's as good as the StreetPilot 350, there shouldn't be (m)any.
Summary: Garmin seems to have an extremely good reputation, so I had no qualms about upgrading from the StreetPilot 350 to the Nuvi 760. I got the wider screen, pocket portability, and the ability to input latitude/longitude, as well as having Bluetooth access to my cell-phone.

Strengths: The viewing screen is bigger. I can load my music and lectures on it instead of having to fumble around with another device. It transmits to my radio.
Weaknesses: The radio transmitter could be a little stronger. It too easily lets static through.
Summary: Overall I like the Nuvi760. It has helped us numerous times. It is a good product. I would highly recommend others get it. I am quite satisfied with it.

Strengths: Unit navigates well, Antenna reception is strong, display is clear and bright, the direction?s voice is clear and timely, blue tooth work well, the FM transmitter is OK, MP3 player is a great idea
Weaknesses: The FM transmitter power is weak(weak radio stations interfere), unit comes with an outdated map and database in it, the routes picked are sometimes not the best, the POI look-up on the unit is slow.
Summary: I have only used this unit for a short period of time (2 months), it has many great features that I like and was why I bought it. It was very disappointing that when I registered the unit Garmin notif
