Garmin nüvi 750 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator with Portable Dashboard Mount Included Review

The other Amazon listing of the 750 was removed, along with dozens of reviews. I will try and summarize the pros and cons and issues people had mentioned.
When turned on, the unit takes around a minute to load the maps. Solution - turn the unit on when you exit your house. It will be ready by the time you hook it up and start your car. Some had complained it took a long time to acquire the satelite, I have not experienced that.
I suspect that was a problem with the older firmware and has been corrected.
The manual is on line, not in the box. Not all the features are intuitive so its worth reading the manual. There are small things you might miss otherwise - such as converting the type pad to QUERY, or how to block toll roads, etc. The unit is rather easy to use, so its not like you will miss all that much if you don't read the manual.
The voice is clear and easily loud enough to hear. I also tried it out on the car speakers via the FM transmitter and it worked fine. (My antenna is in the rear, the GPS on the dashboard).
The calculated routes work though not always "the best" as there may be slighly shorter routes using some side streets.
- Driving to Ikea bypassing the toll roads it missed a short cut on routes 1/9 that would have saved a couple of minutes - not a big deal.
- driving locally it wanted to put me on faster main streets rather than side roads even though the route was longer and would have hit 1 or more stop lights. I know the local streets and my way would have saved a couple of minutes. Still - thats not a big deal. I dont care about a couple of minutes if I am lost - just want to get where I am going in a reasonable amount of time.What I want out of a GPS is:
1 - if I get lost I have "someone" helping me get to where I need to go, even if its a few minutes longer
2 - if I make a wrong turn - I want to know ASAP
I usually first look at the route via Mapquest or Google maps. You can transfer your destination from your PC to your GPS The point is added as a favorite. You can not download a planned route, just individual favorite stopping points.
*BUT - what you can do is create a route out of these saved intermedaite points, to optimize your route. Lets say you want to go form A to B but don't like the plotted route. Download 1 or more points from mapquest/google maps and set those as intermediate points. A -> C -> BYou have the ability to block a road. I haven't used it but I read in other reviews that it blocks the entire stretch of road, as opposed to redirecting you to the next exit. That is a negative that makes this feature less useful.The maps can be zoomed in and out for various levels of detail. Obviously you should not do that while driving, but its very useful if you pull over. The screen could be bigger to see more of the maps, but then it would cost more, so its ok as is.
I needed to go to an elementary school on town, and I only knew the approxiamte location. The POI (Points of Interest) showed a little picture of a school bus in the area - guess what that was ? :-)
But the elementary school near me wasn't shown. Not really a problem as usually one has an exact stree address.
One small gripe -
I found the magenta road route covered up the POI in one mode. It would be better to have them "on top of" the selected route. If you are driving and get hungry and pull over to look at the POI - Restaurants - its hard to see them with the magenta route on top. You can stop the route, but then you must reenter it. Probably not a big deal, (it will be in the recently selected list), but annoying since it would have been easier to have the POI on top of the route. Maybe someday this will be fixed with a firmware download. The map is functional, though you have to zoom in and out a bit if you want to study different parts of the route in detail. (its better to first study where you wnat to go with mapquest/google maps). Since you move the map by dragging different parts you need to zoom out then in. Of course if you first plot the course with mapqust you will have a good idea of the route. I don't really need the "bread crumb" option of showing how much of your route you have covered.
By pressing the turn and other boxes you get a more detailed listing of the route. This is of use if you want to review the route, but in all honesty I just look at the plotted route and compare it to mapquest.
The car moves across the map in very small jumps (like a sixteenth of an inch). This doesnt bother me, although others have said other brands (TomTom 730) are smoother.
When I first got the unit in December 2008 it lagged (it was slow in detecting wrong turns, and in announcing turns). Once I hooked it up to the PC and updated the firmware it was much improved. It no longer lags, and if you miss a turn you will hear "recalculating" in a much shorter period of tiem, based on how far you are form the correct raod. Still not as fast as the TomTom (from what I have read) but still improved.
All in all the 750 does all I need it to do. For the price (right here on Amazon) its the best value I've seen.
PS - Some of the complaints I read in the earlier reviews are unfounded.
Such as:
- you can change the type pad from ABCD to QWERTY
- you can see all the turns by pressing some of the text areas on the display
- you can go to the top level of the menu by holding down the menu keyDec 23/2009 update
I have used it for a year.
Some small complaints
1 - when I turn it on, it does take a while to acquire the satelite, which can be annoying if one forgets to turn it on inside teh house. It can delay your truip 1-2 minutes. Not a big deal, just a minor annoyance.
2 - For some reason if I dont have it plugegd into the car power jack I can't get it to acquire the satelite. This would be annoying if I wanted to take the GPS with me to find the cars location in a parking lot.
3 - You do need to clean the suction cup occasionally , else it can fall off the windshield. This has happened several times.
The main gripe is the selected route may not be optimal. The GPS always tries to put me on a road with stop lights (Route 22 in New jersey) instead of route 78. I think it must look at the posted speed limit and not take into account the stop lights. What I do sometimes is use map quest or google maps to come up with way points (intermediate locations) to force it to select a certain route. Care must be chosen becaus eif you put them off teh main route it will mess up your directions after that point (trying to reroutse you back). You will need to reenter your route. This is a minor annoyance, and can be countered by plotting your route with map quest or google maps.
If you rely on the GPS as your main guide for directions you will get to where you are going, but the route may well not be optimal. But if you are lost, it will get you to your destination, which is its main purpose. All GPSs suffer from this.
So the best way to use a GPS is first plot your route, print out your map quest directions, and bring along your GPS in case you get lost (such as returning home at night after a kids soccer game in an unfamiliar town).
I find it helpful as a backup, but am a little disappointed when using it as my primary guide (instead of Map Quest)

Garmin nüvi 1370/1370T 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic (Factory Refurbished) Review

Garmin nüvi 1370/1370T 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic (Factory Refurbished)

I purchased a refurb unit with the maps of the North America, Europe and South America already loaded. I needed to get a GPS unit for my 10 day trip to Germany and the rental car place was going to charge 12 dollars a day (120 over all). I decided to purchase a refurb for 200 dollars instead, that way I can use it in the US since my car does not have one. The GPS unit also has the caribean, so I will use it for Puerto Rico and in Spain and Germany again next year.

It worked well and was accurate. The only downside is that there is regular plug so it can be charged in the Hotel room or home.

ecoRoute With this feature, drivers can view suggestions for fuel-efficient navigation, conserving both money and fuel:

Save Gas and Money--Now more than ever, we're all looking for ways to conserve both money and fuel. Whether we're taking fewer trips or carpooling with family and friends, saving resources is a top priority. It was that thinking that led to the creation of ecoRoute--Garmin's free software update for compatible nuvi products that allows you to find more fuel-efficient routes when navigating and even track their fuel usage. With ecoRoute, you may be able to save gas and money by adopting smarter driving habits.
Select Fuel-efficient Routes--With ecoRoute, you have a "less fuel" option as a routing preference. When selected, nuvi will determine if more fuel-efficient routes exist based upon road speed data and vehicle acceleration data for a given route.
Get Fuel and Mileage Reports--Through ecoRoute's Fuel Report and Mileage Report, you can focus on your habits even when you're not behind the wheel. Fuel Report tracks fuel usage over time, and Mileage Report monitors mileage and fuel usage on a per-trip basis. In addition, Mileage Report makes it easy for business travelers to keep track of distance traveled for company reimbursements. You'll have a detailed report for each trip and the miles driven. You also can customize your nuvi by entering your car's fuel economy and the current price of gas.

MSN Direct Compatible Add the GDB 55 receiver for MSN Direct. With dynamic content from MSN Direct, you can avoid traffic backups when you travel with your compatible Garmin device. MSN Direct broadcasts traffic data to your GPS navigator so you can find the best route through traffic, check traffic flow, and receive accident warnings.

Avoid Traffic Tie-ups by Adding the GTM 25 The GTM 25 provides North America traffic information to compatible Garmin GPS navigators. Using this data, your device alerts you to local traffic tie-ups and displays current traffic levels. The receiver also acts as an in-vehicle power charger. Traffic provided by NAVTEQ Traffic.

Navigate by Photo with Garmin Connect Photos Using Garmin's Connect Photos Web site, you can choose from millions of geo-located photos provided by Google's Panoramio photo-sharing community and download them to the nuvi for a richer navigation experience using pictures as a guide.

Choose from Panoramio's collection of photos from around the world.
Easy-to-use interface displays photos on Google Maps.
Search for photos by location name or map area boundary.
Transfer photos directly from Garmin Connect to device with the Garmin Communicator.

I love this Garmin Nuvi in every way, except one. I have an Iphone, and apparently this type phone has a problem displaying the caller ID when I am receiving a phone call. It always displays "unknown", which is very upsetting since this is my business phone and it is very important that I know with whom I am about to speak. I did not answer important calls before I realized this was a problem. The ID is given in my "missed calls, received calls, and dialed calls", however. This really bothers me, since the only reason I bought this particular modal was for the bluetooth capability. Everything else about the GPS is wonderful, though! The display is very good, and large enough, and the size easily allows me to put it in my purse when I leave my vehicle.

Garmin nüvi 275/275T 3.5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic Review

Garmin nüvi 275/275T 3.5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this device a few weeks ago in anticipation of a trip to the UK. I've driven there before, navigating with the excellent AA road atlases, but being an American driving a right hand drive car with a manual transmission, sometimes in bad weather, I would often get task-saturated. I thought a GPS or "Sat Nav" as they call them, would make the job a little easier.
The only features that I really needed in a GPS unit were the U.S and European maps and text-to-speech, ("turn left on High street"), beyond that, additional whistles and bells didn't matter to me.
Initially I looked at both Garmin and TomTom and decided to go with Garmin since it was less expensive to find a unit that had North American and European maps. I paid about $270 for my 275T, it was the least expensive unit that had European maps pre-installed. Buying the European map separately would cost you approximately $150 and the UK-only map runs about $99.
The 275T operation is fairly straight forward. It has all of the normal features that one would expect to find on a modern GPS unit to include a fairly robust POI (Point Of Interest) database loaded with gas stations, restaurants, airports etc... The touch screen works well and although the size is smaller, (3.5" vs 4.3" on some larger units), it was more than adequate to display all of the necessary information. The voice directions are very helpful, especially when driving in heavy traffic. Traffic updates in the US arrive via an FM transmitter in the charger cord, (in Europe you have to plug in an antenna wire which comes with the unit). You can also easily preload lots of destinations to your "favorites" on the device by using the Google map or Panoramio photo websites.
In the UK the 275T proved to be invaluable; you feel much freer to stray from the beaten path and do a bit of exploring knowing that your GPS will always get you to your appointed destination. The time to destination estimates were accurate and the routes were efficient. When initially turned on, the unit located satellites quickly and never lost the connection except when in parking garages, or tunnels. Sometimes when surrounded by lots of tall buildings, like in downtown London, the unit would appear to get confused about the direction in which it was pointing. Moving the car just a few dozen feet or so normally corrected this. The included Europe maps were very accurate with the exception of a new stretch of highway between Falkirk and Edinburgh which was not included on the map database. Road names, one-way streets, and parking areas were all up to date. I found the inclusion of "safety camera" locations, (read: "speed trap cameras"), to be very helpful; it even flashed a red warning when you exceed the speed limit in an area with a camera.
The only feature that I sometimes wish was included was a compass heading. If you just turn on the unit, but don't program in a destination, your directional heading, (North, East etc...), is displayed in the lower right hand corner. However when it's giving you directions, your estimated time to arrival takes up that area of the screen. Overall however, I thought the unit was great and I would recommend the 275T if your travels take you between North America and Europe on occasion. Renting a GPS with your car in the UK will typically add about $15 per day; use your 275T for a couple weeks and it's practically paid for itself.

Garmin nüvi 1370/1370T 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth GPS Navigator with Maps of North America & Europe and Lifetime Traffic Review

First let me give the bad. Don't ever try to contact Garmin via phone. I waited 45 minutes just to get a live body. Then once I talked to someone he wanted to transfer me to someone else where I would have to wait another 30 minutes. I finally just hung up and sent them an email. The other bad is that Garmin has too many models and too many differences. Some of the nice features on the $200 model are not available on the $450 model. A perfect example is that this 1370t doesn't include route planning, which is ridiculous. Garmin also seems to change their mount every time they bring out a new line. How about just keeping the powered mounts that seem to work so well? I was limited to the 1370t because it was one of the few that had both U.S. and Europe maps.
Now for the good. I had previously been using a Garmin 330 but it had old maps and was huge by today's standards. This 1370T is a nice size, clear screen, and fast calculations. It has some nice features like Ecoroute, Cityxplorer, pedestrian mode, bluetooth, etc. The reason I was calling Garmin was because one of their cityxplorer maps was only downloading to 50%. Hopefully they get that figured out before I have to travel. I'm happy with the UI and everything else worked out well.
