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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Widescreen, Multi-point routing, Text to speech

Weaknesses: After forced update to version 4.0, announces turn after you are through intersection, forcing you to look at unit, a safety hazard

Summary: I had a well running Nuvi 750 for about 4 days! Then I made the mistake of registering it and Garmin FORCED the 4.0 update on me, that made my 750 essentially a BRICK. It now announces turns after you are through intersection, forcing you to look at unit, a safety hazard. It has now been 2 months and still no fix from Garmin. Four days of use out of a $400 unit, gee I guess according to some people I should be happy to pay Garmin $100/day for a GPS unit that actually works, I DON'T THINK SO! I do think we need to look into a class-action lawsuit, as I believe Garmin is too busy putting out new units to worry about fixing the existing units they broke in the first place.

Strengths: Nice bright screen. Nice Media Player. Good Satellite signal.

Weaknesses: Weak FM Transmitter

Summary: When I first got the Nuvi 750, I upgraded it to the latest version of the software 4.10 and after the upgrade, the turn prompts were coming after I already executed the turn. Yesterday I ran the loader again and downloaded 4.20 and new voice prompts and now the voice prompts are a lot more accurate. I like the media player for playing my MP3s in the car but the FM Transmitter is a little weak (maybe because of regulations) so occasionally, I get some static or bleed over from radio stations.Overall, a good unit as long as you upgrade to 4.20 software version and download new voice prompts. With the 4.10 version, the latent voice prompt issue was making me a little crazy.Lots of built in Points of Interest (POIs) but some are out of date. Ability to route plan and save up to 10 custom routers is a nice feature.
