Strengths: SUPER FAST RE-CALCULATING; EASY TO USE SCREEN, FAST SETUP

Weaknesses: LACK OF ROUTE NUMBERS

Summary: HAVEN'T GOTTEN LOST SINCE I GOT IT! SUPER EASY TO PROGRAM; BRIGHT SCREEN UNDER ALL LIGHTING CONDITIONS; VOICE PROMPTS TIMELY AND CLEAR. ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT NAMED STREETS THAT ALSO HAVE A ROUTE NUMBER SHOULD DISPLAY IT, AS HWY NUMBER SIGNS ARE MUCH EASIER TO NOTICE AND READ THAN THE OFTEN MISSING STREET SIGNS.

Strengths: Slim, Widescreen, Garmin maps, Multi-point routing

Weaknesses: none

Summary: This is a very nice GPS unit from Garmin. As usual their maps are excellent. Apart from the nice big 4.3" widescreen (which is plenty bright) this unit has some high end features like Multi-point routing (can plan a route thru multiple destination points) not found on the Nuvi 350/360. although it doesnt have the Bluetooth, the unit design is stylish and slim.

Strengths: Good Size Screen, Easy To USe, Fast Satellite Signal Pick Up

Weaknesses: Difficult to Use Car Charger

Summary: This GPS is very easy to use. I rarely have to refer to manual. The screen is simple and clear. Once you turn it on, it picks up satellite signal within minute. The only thing Garmin could improve is Car Charger connection. It should be easier to connect. Other than this, it is handy to have this tool in your car.

Strengths: 1. It gets you where your want to go2. Acquires signal within 10 seconds, even on cloudy days. 3. The POI feature is superb (see below).4. Programs intermediate stops5. Bright screen

Weaknesses: 1. No manual.2. No protective carrying case3.It doesn?t know one-way streets.4. There are times the ?fastest? or ?shortest? routes are ?not?, but it gets you where you want to go

Summary: I bought the Nuvi 750 because I got it a VERY good price ($280). It did not come with the latest Firmware 2.6 installed but that was a simple fix once you download Firmware 2.6 from the Garmin website; just go to the Garmin Nuvi 750 webpage and follow the prompts. No manual was included; it does come with an abbreviated ?Quick Start Manual?. Garmin will send a hard copy of the complete manual if requested. For many, especially experienced gps users this is a not a big factor but for me this is important as I like to be able to refer to a manual when a question arises. It is also helpful in telling you the little nuances and shortcuts that are available in system programming and usage. I have my unit mounted on the windshield to the left of the driver. It acquires the satellite signal very quickly. I have never had a signal reception failure even in days when it was raining and heavily overcast. Best in highly congested areas (be they city, commercial, or residential). Also of good us in rural areas but of lesser use in Interstate highway driving; I have not tried it in a highly congested city where there are a lot of high-rise buildings. However, even in using the 750 in congested (non high rise areas) or rural areas there is a question as to whether to take the proposed ?shortest? or the ?fastest? route. Thankfully you can bring up a map showing the entire route that each will take so you can decide by looking at both maps. And the ?Where Am I? feature is also helpful. A 12 volt dc power and battery charging cord is provided but I opted to buy an optional ac power cord. This enabled me to either charge the battery while in the house and also to program the routes that I would take without having to do them in the car. It certainly is not a necessity but for me, it is a definite ?nicety?. One way streets are not recognized nor are areas that are highly commercially congested or have a high frequency of traffic lights. The Garmin 750 has the ability of programming several intermediate stops in a given route. Although by no means a significant breakthrough it is a nicety that can be done before embarking on the designated route. The large 4.3? screen is very useful when programming but lesser so during operation as the ?voice? commands are the ones I go by. The TTS (text to speech) is also appreciably useful, not indispensable if you use the ?10 blocks are equivalent to about a mile? rule but yes, it is also a definite nicety I?ve been caught several times being instructed to go the wrong way on a one-way street. However, the unit quickly recovers and ?recalculates? when I refuse. It also does a great job of ?recalculating? whenever I stray from its designated course. I purposely ?strayed? several times and was quite pleased as to its ability to adjust, set a new course, and continue my travel to destination. POI success: I once had an electronic accessory malfunction while on a trip. I pulled off to the side of the road and brought up POI and typed in ?Radio Shack?. I was directed to one less than a mile away where I bought the necessary fix and was soon merrily on my way. Thanks, POI I do not have any opinions regarding the FM, MP3 player, or Photo Viewer. Vigilance and care have to be exercised so that the unit does not distract the driver while operating the car. This indeed is a boon to serious drivers especially those who operate in areas they seldom use.

Strengths: Touch screen operation. Recalculates routs quickly when you make a wrong turn or have to divert due to traffic situations.

Weaknesses: Doesn't always find locations using buisness name only.

Summary: I was very surprised that the unit could find even the most remote places. Just put the address in and follow the directions. Having the voice directions allows you to keep you eyes on the road and traffic. It gives you the speed limits for the interstate and even tells you how fast you are traveling. There is a lot more functionality to this unit than the manuals describe. I would suggest having a passenger manipulate the unit on your every day errands to become familiar with it.

Strengths: Good display size, user friendly, good audio volume, quickly aquires satellites, excellent features, slim, trim and lightweight.

Weaknesses: Not bluetooth capable

Summary: Since "Blue tooth capable" was not a consideration for me, the Garmin 750 was the perfect choice in the 700 series. I totally appreciate the large display, ease of operation and loud, clear audio. The POI's have been quite sufficient thus far. No buyers remorse on this model.

Strengths: Easy to use, good display.

Weaknesses: Often slow to acquire satellites, no owner's manual.

Summary: This is the only GPS I've owned, but I found it very easy to use. Sometimes it takes a couple minutes to acquire a good satellite signal, other times it's almost instantaneous. Same location, same conditions. Also, Garmin is too cheap to include a complete user's manual. They include a Quick Start Manual, but to see the real manual, you have to visit their web site and download the .pdf file which you can print if you want. To their credit, after a strongly worded email to Customer Service, they promised to send me a manual.

Strengths: very good mapping

Weaknesses: FM transmitter too weak to overpower static. Garmin elinimated some worthy options

Summary: Compared to the less expensive Nuvi 350, the Nuvi 750 offers a wider screen, multi-destinations routing and an FM transmitter. The wider screen is nice but not essential. The FM transmitter is too weak and it is almost impossible to eliminate static. The multi-destinations routing is very usefull which is essential for people who need to be mapped to a number of addresses on one route. The Audible book player is also essential for me. I still love Garmin products, but they eliminated a couple features which were nice to have. Still a great product.

Strengths: Not too expensive, sleek design, wide screen, FM transmitter, Garmin brand

Weaknesses: Wish it had bluetooth

Summary: I bought this for my sisters who needs the GPS to use in Thailand. Apparently we have to buy the Thailand maps in addition but it is still much cheaper than buying the unit in Thailand. So far, I love the wide screen which make my life a lot easier on the road. The first time we used this unit, it took quite a while to locate the satellite but I never had the problem after that. So far it's been working GREAT!

Strengths: Good sized, beautiful screen. Detailed Maps. Slow to lock on to satellites

Weaknesses: Slow to lock on to satellites. Does not include carrying case.

Summary: It comes with everything that you absolutely need to bring this in your car, but they were a little too cheap to include a carrying case. It isn't a big issue because you can buy one somewhere else, but it would have been nice if they would have included it. This GPS is very nice. It is a little slow to lock on to satellites initially when you start your trip, but after that, it is amazing. I use it in the car and it is quite reliable, very easy to use and great GUI.

Strengths: Small form factor, nice accuracy and quality of unit

Weaknesses: Slow to first acquire satellite signal (apparently fixed with an update, waiting to update)

Summary: I have been holding out for a GPS, and finally scored a NUVI 750 widescreen. Very happy with the size, display, touch screen. FM transmitter will come in handy. Nice unit for the price.

Strengths: Great Maps, Fast Acquisition time

Weaknesses: None So Far

Summary: I absolutely love the Garmin Nuvi 750. It's a slick looking device and pretty small. The directions are great and there are great extra features on their like points of interest and the like. It's easy to setup and easy to install in the car.

Strengths: big screen, sleek design.

Weaknesses: Hight price.

Summary: I used a Magellan 3000T for over a year, I was very happy with it. However, after my experience with their customer experience due to the problem with my car charger(it's been over 2 months and still havn't received it, they promised 1 week! I called a couple times and everytime got same answer). Now I switched to garmin, I really like the sleek design, and big and bright screen, easy of use. But there's some features I miss on my magellan, like the quick spell, the route exclusion, etc. But considering the customer service, I don't regret at all. Hightly recommended.

Strengths: Big LCD screen give clear instruction, easy to follow. The accessories are very useful.

Weaknesses: The FM transmitter doesn't work well. Cannot play music on FM.

Summary: We just got this GPS. This one is very easy to use, and the instruction is clear. The screen is pretty big so you can easyly follow the map and it find out the map very quickly. Even you missed the correct instruction, it will find out another option very fast. Cool product

Strengths: widescreen , slim profile, qwerty keypad

Weaknesses: no bluetooth, not portable

Summary: I had a 360 for awhile now I upgraded. I like the widescreen as it adds more real estate but at a battery life cost (5 hours compared to 9 w/ the 360). I love that it does not have an antenna that you flip up everytime and the new firmware gives it faster satellite detection. However, I miss having bluetooth on it since now laws in California don't let you use a cell phone while driving. Also even though its slimmer in design, I feel it is not as portable as the 360, plus it does not include a case.
