Garmin Nuvi 760 Review

There’s a bewildering array of in-car GPS systems to choose from nowadays. I have owned an off-brand system for a little over a year now and have made do with this until a week ago. On a trip to an unfamiliar area a month ago, I was running late for an appointment and relied on my old GPS system to get me there. It did fine on getting me to the general area then proceeded to take me around the block. And around again. Then again. I came close to throwing the thing out of the window and vowed right there and then that I was going to invest in a decent system.

I did a lot of research on the web and eventually narrowed my choice down to three different models, two of them from Garmin and one from TomTom.

The Garmin Nuvi 760 includes multi-destination routing, spoken directions with real street names and integrated traffic receivers. This model also includes a picture viewer, an MP3 player, a world travel clock, currency and measurement converter and a calculator.
