Manufacturer's Description (August 26, 2008) Garmin continues to build up its nüvi 7xx series portable GPS navigators with its nüvi 765T, which adds a number of handy routing and communication features to an already impressive list of specs, including a 4.3-inch widescreen display, text-to-speech capabilities, media player, and FM transmitter for transmitting audio--including directions and MP3 music and audiobooks--from the device to your car radio. Garmin's nüvis pack top of the line features into a slim form factor.. New to the nüvi 7x5 lineup is Garmin's HotFix satellite prediction (which locates your position quickly and precisely), Lane Assist (which provides lane guidance and junction views when possible), automatic time zone transitioning, and 3D Building views as well as Garmin Connect Photos to help you visually ascertain your position. Additionally, the nüvi 765T includes Bluetooth connectivity to your cell phone and free real-time traffic updates from Navteq (for the life of the device) via the included GTM 20 traffic receiver. The Garmin nüvi 7x5 Series nüvi 755T: North American maps, GTM 20 traffic receiver with lifetime traffic nüvi 765T: Adds Bluetooth handsfree communication; includes GTM 20 receiver, lifetime traffic nüvi 775T: Pre-loaded European and North American maps; includes GTM 20 receiver, lifetime traffic, Bluetooth nüvi 785T: Adds enhanced MSN Direct traffic receiver; includes North American maps and Bluetooth As with all nüvis, you get Garmin reliability, the fast satellite lock of an integrated high-sensitivity receiver, a slim, pocket-sized design with a gorgeous display, an easy, intuitive interface, and detailed NAVTEQ maps for North America (United States, Canada and Puerto Rico) with more than 6 million name-searchable points of interest. The Garmin nüvi 7x5 line features three other models--check out their spec highlights at the right and click here to see a quick, simple comparison of features for all Garmin nüvi GPS navigators. The bright, 4.3-inch 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 percent 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. The nüvi 765T comes preloaded with highly detailed City Navigator NT road maps from Navteq 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'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. 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. With Lane Guidance, the nüvi alerts you to which lane you need to be in for upcoming turns. In the image above, the three middle lanes of this seven-lane highway are highlighted. With Junction View, you'll get photo-realistic 3D views upcoming turns with signage--signs not needed for navigation are faded. Lane Guidance With the new Lane Guidance feature built into the nüvi 7x5 series, you'll never question which lane you should be driving in again. It provides you with a view of what lane you should be in for upcoming turns. And with the 3D Lane Assist Junction View, you'll be able to see a photo-realistic screen that shows you both the road detail as well as the signs as you will see them on the road. The signs that aren't needed for navigation are faded compared to the appropriate lane signage. Integrated Traffic Receiver Steer clear of traffic with an integrated GTM 20 FM traffic receiver designed to receive alerts about traffic tie-ups and road construction that might lie ahead on your route. No subscriptions or additional hardware needed. Just open the box, turn it on, and get instant access to traffic information--the traffic updates are free for the life of the device. 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, the 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. 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. HotFix Satellite Prediciton Garmin's HotFix capability automatically calculates and stores satellite locations, greatly reducing satellite acquisition time so that you can turn the unit on and get going. With HotFix, your nüvi remembers the position of all satellites it is tracking when you turn it off, and calculates their movements in order to predict where they should be the next time you turn it on. HotFix can predict satellite positions for up to 3 days after the device was last turned off. 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. Where Am I? Where's My Car? The nüvi 7x5 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 7x5s automatically mark the position in which they were last removed from the mount. 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 nüvi 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. View photos in Google Earth. Supports Internet Explorer 6+, Firefox 2+, Safari 3+ on Windows and Mac. Other Features The 3D Buildings feature helps you navigate by landmark. The 3D Buildings feature is able to reference the buildings displayed on the map as well. Some buildings will be grey images "extruded" from the map, other buildings will be life like representations of the actual property. With Automatic Time Zone Transition, you'll never have to remember to set the time as you travel. When the unit acquires a position fix, it automatically sets the unit to the correct time zone. MP3 player compatible with audiobook playback JPEG picture viewer FM transmitter plays voice prompts, MP3s, audio books, and more, directly through your vehicle's stereo system Compatible with optional content plug-ins available via SD card, such as the Garmin Travel Guides and Garmin SaversGuide, which provide detailed data for attractions and information on nearby merchants offering discounts. Add custom points of interest (POIs) from third parties such as school zones and safety cameras Travel tools: World travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more What's in the Box nüvi 765T preloaded with maps of North America (United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico), vehicle suction cup mount, Vehicle power cable, USB cable, Dashboard disc, Quick start manual Notes Optional software for language translation, detailed travel guides, and savings programs allow you to customize your nüvi to fit your travel needs The FM transmitter feature is only available in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand Like most USB mass storage devices, the nüvi is not compatible with Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows Me.

Customer Reviews

Great GPS unit
I've been wanting a GPS unit for a long time and checked out the various brands, selected Garmin, and then had to decide which model to get.

I was eyeing this unit and got it for a sweet price in a black Friday sale. Otherwise, I would not have purchased it since I cannot understand paying over $400 for a GPS unit.

This one is nice with the (free) traffic and the multi-lane assistance. I used this on a long, 9 hour trip across 4 states and it worked flawlessly. And, I have to admit, it made the trip less stressful and actually enjoyable.

It almost became a game to see whether I could beat the estimated arrival time the unit predicted. It was spot on with it's estimates (and a lot more accurate than google maps which said my trip would take 11 hours).

Overall, the system is very easy and intuitive to use. I don't see a benefit to spending a lot more money and going with the 800 series over this one.

I know there are reviewers out there who complain about the bluetooth and the picture/mp3 capabilities and give the unit a low rating. I cannot understand the logic behind those complaints. This is a GPS unit and I want it to give me directions. This is a solid unit and you cannot go wrong and will not be disappointed.

Average GPS, nothing extraordinary, you can find something better for same price.
I spent several months reviewing all brands and functionalities on GPS and finally I decided Garmin for some reasons. After couple weeks of usage I can say Im not 100% satisfied with the product. Is to slow to calculate routes, acquire satellite signal and not enough points of interest loaded. Good thins are, FM transmitter, bluetooth connection with my mobile, 3D view on buildings(just fancy you never use it)and free traffic updates.

Many times during the route the equipment just turned off by itself, I call Garmin and they update the software, it looks ok now. Battery runs out very fast.

I don't know but I would like a GPS more accurate and easier to operate. This one when you have to make a turn is confusing because doesn't make any special sound or comment to let you know, so pretty much you have to put a lot of attention....I think I could have a better GPS for that amount of money, just Garmin didn't impressed me.

Hockeymom
Compared to other GPS navigators, this one was by far the easiest and most reliable I have ever used. The day of my long trip, I removed it from the box, plugged it in, and away I went. I did not have to read a manual in order to operate this system. Very user friendly. The voice commands are extremely clear and accurately got me to all my destinations with no problems or hesitations. The only drawback was the Bluetooth as others had mentioned. The people that I spoke with on the phone said that my voice was very broken up and hard to hear, however, I could hear perfectly through my stereo sound system. To me all the other features, by far, make up for the difference. Another neat feature was when I removed my camera chip and place it into the GPS to watch the pictures that I had recently taken on my trip. I love the Lane Assistant whenever I was not sure which lane to be in before an intersection change. I also experienced a major traffic accident on the highway and the navigator immediately removed me from the freeway, through alternate routes, and back on where traffic was light. Very quickly reroutes whenever I missed a turn. This is a very important things when you are in a strange place. I highly recommend this system.
