Garmin's nüvis pack top of the line features into a slim form factor.

New Features -- Where Am I? Where's My Car?
The nüvi 700 series is the first to answer two common questions: "Where am I?" and "Where’s my car?"

At any time, with a single tap of the screen, drivers can display their exact latitude and longitude coordinates, the nearest address and intersection, and the closest hospitals, police stations and gas stations. And to help drivers find their car in an unfamiliar spot or vast parking lot, all nüvi 700s automatically mark the position in which they were last removed from the mount.

New Features -- Multi-Destination Routing
This lets you enter several spots into the device (day care - supermarket-cleaners - office - day care, for example) and it will plot the fastest route. And once you've found the best router, the "Route Planning" feature lets you save up to 10 different routes, Garmin touts the feature for providing, "the most efficient route for errands, deliveries and sales calls." The feature also makes this an instant essential accessory for anyone who shops garage sales (you know what we're talking about).

A trip log provides an electronic bread crumb trail of up to 10,000 points, so you can see where you've been on the map.

See Better, See More
The super-bright, 4.3-inch (diagonal) touchscreen display gives is anti-glare for ease of viewing during the day and automatically changes its color profile for easy viewing at night or in dim light. It offers 2d or 3D perspective views.

The widescreen format gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push.

First Rate Map Data
All nüvi 700s come preloaded with highly detailed City Navigator NT road maps for the entire United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. This map database features nearly six million points of interest (POIs), including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping.

Important note about map updates: Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our Garmin Store.

Hands-Free Calling
In more and more places, it is becoming illegal to use cell phones while driving without a hands-free kit. WIth Bluetooth capability, microphone and speaker, you can match your nüvi to any bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nüvi's touch screen keypad to make a call on a compatible phone. To answer an incoming call, just tap the screen and speak into the built-in microphone. Making and taking calls on the road has never been easier, or safer. In addition, Garmin makes it a breeze to look-up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or even tap into your cell phone's call history log.

Integrated FM Traffic Receiver

Steer clear of traffic with an integrated FM traffic receiver designed to receive alerts from TMC Clear Channel about traffic tie-ups and road construction that might lie ahead on your route. All you have to do is simply touch the screen to view traffic details and you'll be ready to detour around any problem area. And if you end up missing a turn, or you're forced into a detour that is not relayed through the traffic receiver, the nüvi's sophisticated automatic routing will get you back on track in no time. In most areas, TMC Clear Channel traffic broadcasts are continuous — there's no waiting for scheduled traffic news updates or random alerts. Because traffic broadcasts are received via a "silent" FM data channel, you can still listen to music or news programming on your car radio without interference from incoming FM traffic data transmissions. A 3-month subscription to TMC Clear Channel's Total Traffic Network is included with purchase of this device. For more information on subscription fees, coverage in individual cities, and traffic data networks in the United Kingdom and Europe, check the Garmin website.

Garmin Lock
Garmin's patent pending theft prevention system that disables the unit from performing any functions until the user types in a specific 4-digit PIN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location

Easy To Use Interface
Garmin's interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about your trip.

Beyond Navigation

Browse your stored pictures with an easy-to-use JPEG viewer.

A handy MP3 player lets you play songs stored on SD memory cards.

Navigation is just the beginning. All nüvi 700s feature travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, MP3 player, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars GPS Newbie, April 17, 2009

By	Karl K. (Brookfield, WI) - See all my reviews

My first GPS, and I couldn't be happier. It fired up fully charged right out of the box W/2009 maps installed. I tested navigation with everyday stops that I am familiar with, and I must say that I was impressed with the accuracy. I did notice that in a few instances, I was on top of the turn before the voice prompt gave instruction. I 'm not too worried about that however, as you can clearly see the visual approach of the turn on the map. The 760 is packed with features, and is very easy to operate. Bluetooth works great! The 760 immediately synched with my Motorola Q, and imported my phone list. I have an aux jack in my Saab 9-5, and the phone sound quality is incredible through the car speakers. I made various calls while traveling on the freeway, and no one reported hearing any echoes. Crystal clear! I picked up an 8gb SD card and loaded pictures of the family and a ton of mp3's. Mp3 sound quality through the aux is equal to that of my iPod. My only complaint about the Mp3 player is that it does not appear as though there is a shuffle feature. Overall, a great unit as indicated by the many other reviews out there. I have purchased refurb electronics before, and for the most part, have had great experiences with them. The money I saved from buying refurb vs. new paid for the SD card and a vent bracket. Being a refurb unit, it came in a plain Garmin box, but inside it was packaged as a new unit would be with all accessories listed.

5.0 out of 5 stars New to GPS, April 6, 2009

By	T. Johnson (Atlanta Metro) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I went with the Refurb to save money on the 760, and very pleased. It looks new to me, everything wrapped and sealed as if it were new. It came with a fully charged batt, and the latest firmware, so it is definetely a refurb - but cosmetically you would never know it. It only takes 20 sec or so to aquire satellites on a cold start. I'm new to this, so take this review for what its worth. I noticed that the newer streets that are in my area are on the nuvi 760. These are new streets (subdivisions) that are a year or 2 old, so I'm happy with the maps that are preloaded on it. The nuvi is very user freindly and intuitive, the touchscreen make it super easy to use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy It!, February 25, 2009

By	Robert T. Salisbury (Upstate NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought a refurbished unit from Best Buy online about 2 months ago. However, I paid $250 and I thought it was a good deal then. When it arrived I expected to find it, well, used but in good condition. To my surprise, it was no different than brand new. I even inspected it with a magnifying glass and could find absolutely no signs of it being used before. Anyway, it works flawlessly. No problems, everything works, I have tried all the features such as bluetooth to connect to my cell phone, works great, fm transmitter, works great, media player, I am thinking of buying two more for Christmas presents next year. Of course, you never know what you are going to get when refurbished but so far, i have no regrets. Good Luck
