An Excellent GPS device.
This Nuvi does several things very well, and I've yet to discover any serious shortcomings. My thoughts:
Navigation: Excellent, as is typical with Garmin units. On a couple of occasions the voice (right now I'm using Australian Karen) told me my destination was on the wrong side of the street.
Map: The map is clear, the refresh rate is fast, and all of the right information is provided on-screen, including details for upcoming turns and junctions, speed limit, and traffic ...

Great so far
I received my 765T a few days ago and love it so far. After reading some up and down reviews, I wasn't certain what to expect. I am pleasantly surprised.
To start, the unit's volume is plenty loud, even at highway speeds. The screen is readable at all times, and automatically changes to a darkened "night mode" at night - very easy on the eyes. You can force it to day or night mode, if desired.
The map's movement and fluidity is tremendous. It has a very natural look...

Garmin Nuvi 765T
Let me start out our that I only have experience with the nuvi 200w and the 765t so my opinions don't expand beyond these two devices.
Everything about the 765t has improved from previous versions. The nice matte black color and the textured finish really are great cosmetic touches and make this $450 device feel like $450. The mapping and navigation are in typical garmin fashion, superb. The lane guidance is VERY helpful and is the reason I bought a new garmin to begin with. It re...

Nuvi 765T Observations
After waiting a long time to buy a GPS and reading many, many reviews while watching the prices go up and down, I finally pulled the trigger on a Nuvi 765T on Thanksgiving morning when I saw the price drop to $349.00 on Amazon with free shipping. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the price and couldn't buy it fast enough. Especially since at the time, the lowest price I had seen was around $460. Although it had the features I wanted, I had some reservations about getting the 765T because of ...

Excellent - Upgraded from 670 to 765T
My son needed a GPS, so it was either buy him an inexpensive GPS (like the Nuvi 200 series) or give him my old unit and get myself a new one. Well the choice was made very easy with this 765T, especially falling into the sale of the century in November.
The feature set of this GPS have been reviewed all over the place. There's two things I'd like to do in this review, comment on lane guidance and compare this unit to the 670.
Lane guidance or intersection help. There's a t...

Buy a 265 instead
I'll try to make this a unique review by comparing the pros and cons of FOUR different Garmin units I've tried: c330, 265t, 765t, and the 885t. There are few reviews that offer face-off comparisons between models which can assist in making a purchasing choice. I'll share some highlights for each model, beginning with the one I've owned for over three years. Bottom line: If you want to go cheap, the c330 still works fine with new maps loaded - I literally drove all over the country and rarely had...

Nice upgrade from nuvi 660
I received my 765T and was anxious to use it so I darted to Cleveland. I have to admit I was curious to see the road signs on the screen which I didn't see going in spite of being on major freeways but I did see them coming back. I put on "go home" and when I was on the freeway & it would have a box in the upper left corner with arrows for each lane and the ones I was suppose to be in were white and the bad lanes were grayed out (on major freeways). Nice feature. It also has the way you will...

They should concentrate less on flash and more on function
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I have owned the GPS for something like a month now, the unit has a bright screen that I have no problem seeing in direct sunlight, the audio is clear and it seems to find the addresses that I have asked from it. I read a few of the other reviews and I don't see a problem with battery life, it lasts until I get to work which takes upto 45 minutes unlike the 15 someone else was complaining...

A satisfied purchaser . . .
I purchased the Nuvi 780 on Oct 1 because the 765t wasn't available at my local big box yet. Two weeks later (and after a firmware upgrade), my 780 developed a speech impediment: "Turn left at highway . . . . . 405, then turn l . . . eft." It sounded like she had to pause to either think about where she was, or to hold a fist in front of her mouth for a silent burp or something. That unit went back and by that time the 765t was out. A swap plus $100 later, I had the new unit. Pros over the 780: ...

Software disappointment
I have a Nuvi 360 and the 765T seemed to offer some nice upgrade features. I was drawn by, "Where Am I", Lane Assist and the larger screen size .My first trip using the 765T was a truly disappointing experience. I expected the same software as the 360, only with the addition of the new upgrades. The 360 labels all the nearby cities and towns, POI, rivers, lakes, you really get a feel for where you are driving. The 765T shows none of this! No names of towns, just a line showing the road, interse...
