Amazon.com Product Description
Garmin's nüvi 700 series combines the high-end features of its nüvi 600s with the integrated antenna and slim form factor it introduced with the entry-level nüvi 200s. What this means is that, as with the 600s, you'll get a gorgeous widescreen display, text-to-speech functionality that gives spoken directions with real street names, an integrated FM traffic information receiver, an MP3 player, a photo viewer, and an FM transmitter that will play all the nüvi's audio, including voice prompts, MP3s, audio books, and more, directly through your vehicle's stereo system, but that, despite their impressive array of features, the 700s slip easily into a pocket. All of the nüvi 700s come pre-loaded with maps for the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. The nüvi 760 and 770 add Bluetooth capability for hands-free calling. The nüvi 770 adds maps for Europe.
The
nüvi 750 packs top of the line features into a slim form factor.

New Features -- Where Am I?
Sometimes, you don't have a specific destination in mind. You just want to know what's nearby. Garmin's easy-to-access, "Where Am I?" feature makes this easier than on just about any navigation device. Just tap "Where Am I?" to find the closest hospitals, police stations, fuel stations, nearest address and intersection. Also see your exact latitude and longitude coordinates. nüvi 750 even remembers where you parked. It automatically marks your position when you remove it from the windshield mount, so you can navigate with nüvi on foot and find your way back to your vehicle. Perfect for unfamiliar spots and crowded lots such as amusement parks, stadiums and malls.
New Features -- Route Planning
Garmin has thrown some new features into the 700s as well. One of the niftiest is called "automated sorting for multiple destinations." Basically, 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.
First Rate Map Data
The nüvi 750 is 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.
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.
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.
Smart, Powerful Design
The nüvi 750 is built with a high-sensitivity WAAS-enabled GPS receiver for extreme accuracy, as well as an SD card slot for storing your media and additional navigation tools, and a USB interface for loading data. All this is wrapped up in a package that measures just 4.8 x 3.0 x .8 inches (12.2 x 7.6 x 2.0 cm) (W x H x D) and weighs just 6.2 ounces. The nüvi 750's 4.3-inch (diagonal) display is touchscreen-enabled, making it a cinch to control the device with your fingertips. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to five hours of battery life depending on use.
Trick Your GPS Ride
Like all nüvis, the 750 supports configurable vehicle icons. These fun, customized car-shaped icons come in a variety of colors to add a personal touch to your vehicle's position on the map.
With this GPS system on board you'll be prepared to steer clear of traffic with the integrated FM TMC traffic receiver. The nüvi 750 is designed to receive alerts 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.
What's in the Box
nüvi 750 GPS navigation system, preloaded City Navigator North America Navteq data, vehicle suction cup mount, 12-volt adapter, dashboard disk, USB interface cable, 3-month free subscription to TMC traffic information service (preloaded), sample language guide content (preloaded), sample travel guide, sample MP3s (preloaded), sample audio books (preloaded), owner's manual, and a quick reference guide
Note: 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. Lastly, the nüvi 750 comes with a free, three-month trial for the traffic services. Like most USB Mass Storage Devices, the nüvi is not compatible with Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows Me.

OTR Trucker Loves Nuvi 750.......2007-12-26
I gave a Garmin Nuvi 750 to my hubby as an early Christmas gift after he had a harrowing experience in Jersey City. He called me from the road and I asked him how the Garmin was working for him. His reply: "God, Garmin and my wife! What would I do without them?!". It didn't bother me that Garmin usurped my position briefly as I was delighted that he was able to find his middle of the night destinations to unknown places in unknown cities with poorly marked streets because his NUVI 750 guided him right to the door! Er....make that DOCK. In the past 4 weeks he has been to TX, IL, TN, SC, OH, Maine, PA, MI, IN and WI amd points in between....AND not necessarily in the previous order stated. He NEVER GOT LOST ONCE. By the way. What is a SIRF?
Awesome Device.......2007-12-23
I have owned this unit for about 3 weeks now and thought it was time I shared my two cents worth.
After reading the reviews before purchasing my 750 I was greatly concerned with some of the comments I had read regarding long satellite acquisition times, tinny sound from the speakers and poor navigation at times. Over the years I have bought several other Garmin devices (60CS and Forerunner 305) and absolutely love their products. In 3 1/2 years of using their products I have never been disappointed so thought I would take a chance based on past experience and give it a try.
WOW, what a device! Once again Garmin has come through big time. With my biggest concern being long satellite acquisition times I was very please when I first powered the unit on and walked outside that it acquired my position in less than 60 seconds. Thinking maybe I had gotten lucky I decided to put it to the test. By traveling to other areas with the unit turned off I would then turn it on to see if I could duplicate the problems others are claiming but have had no success in doing so. It has never taken more than a minute to acquire a position and show me my exact location, in fact most times I would say it is closer to 40 - 45 seconds.
Speaker quality I find is excellent. This is my first GPS navigator of any kind that speaks turn by turn directions so maybe I'm speaking from ignorance because I have nothing to compare against. That being said, text to speech on this device is very clear, understandable and volume is good. Volume level is currently set at 80%.
Navigation is bang on. There have been times when I have thought that it was going to miss the mark but it has always performed as expected and location has always been accurate.
The one thing negative that I do have to say has to do with the POI's. Although current with relatively new restaurants in our area, it also list several that have been out of business for more than a year. One has been gone for almost 5 years. I would think they could do a better job of keeping things current and I assume this would be typical for other places as well.
Screen is bright and clear and easy to read in almost any lighting condition. At sunset the screen automatically back lites to make it easy to see. The 750 of course only comes in silver but looks great. Additional vehical icons can be downloaded from Garmin's website.
I give this baby a two tumbs up!!!
No Satellite Problems.......2007-12-21
After reading the reviews here, I was very concerned about buying this product as a gift because of the negative reviews related to satellite problems, but it was on sale locally at a price that was hard to turn down. I decided I'd try it out before giving it as a gift, and if I had problems I'd take it back.
So far the nuvi 750 has been performing very well. It took about 45 seconds to get enough satellites the first time I used it, and every time since then I've never had to wait on it. It makes a big difference if I have it mounted on the windshield (and the windshield mount supplied with it works great). If I'm holding in my hand between the front seats, it's not so great, so I don't know how well it would work if you plan to mount it low on the dash or on a center console.
It has performed almost perfectly so far on picking out routes and tracking my progress on them. The only problem was a very minor one where I'd pulled into a mall parking lot to get to my destination that it directed me to, but once I was in the parking lot it was telling me to pull back out on the road. On the other hand it seems to know that my house is at the end of a long winding driveway about 300 ft from the road because just as I approach the house itself it says "Arriving at...". Here in Texas we have service roads parallel to the highways, and I'm impressed with how it knows where the ramps are how it times its notice to me to pull onto the ramp.
The graphics are pretty good, and the brightness of the screen is always good, day or night. I've used the POIs only a couple of times, but it looks like they'll be really useful as kind of a yellow pages. I was also able to choose a destination by browsing the map by dragging it and then tapping on the map to select my destination. I agree with the other reviewer that the sound quality of the speaker is not impressive. But I've got it on max volume now to hear it over my radio. It did sound better at lower volume.
I can't explain why I've had such good satellite performance when so many others have had trouble. Before buying it, I googled "nuvi 750 sirf" and read a handful of discussions about whether or not the 750 has the sirf chip for satellite reception. There are stories that Garmin tried a proprietary chip for the 7xx series and quit using the sirf chip (which is in the 6xx series). Sirf has an outstanding reputation. Some people said that some 7xx units have sirf and some do not. I saw tips on how to find out what my unit has, but I couldn't get the instructions to work for me. I have no idea whether I have sirf or not, but it's working great so far (depending on where it's mounted).
Very Satisfied.......2007-12-20
Setup was very quick and simple to use. Can find addresses without the state or city input. Screen is very bright and the Where am I feature is great.
Cons:
There is no case included (Bought a Lowepro 50 camera bag)
No AC power adapter???
Friction mount works great in my Audi, but not my brothers' SAAB
Improved Garmin GPS.......2007-12-18
Nuvi 750 is an improved GPS than its predecessor, 6xx series. Its touch screen and well designed simple menu make GPS navigation very easy. I found that the pre-loaded places of interests often useful, too.
Features I like: It has a good 3D Auto-map as other Garmin car navigation units; Portable (compared with Street Pilot series) as it just fits inside my pocket; No external antenna compared with Nuvi 6xxx; Wider screen compared with Street Pilot series: It has a good multi-media player which is handy as a portable device; The stand for the car is better than the one which comes with Street Pilots; Announcing can be changed to different dialects and languages; By downloading appropriate maps, it can be used in different regions on the globe.
Features I miss: Bluetooth capability (available with Nuvi 760 but I did not think it was necessary at purchase of this unit); No provision for tunnel exits (it should indicate the name of the exit and the distance to travel when the car enters a lengthy tunnel and the car is to get out of one of the intermediate exits other than the end of the tunnel).
Unavoidable: Inaccuracy near skyscrapers or under overhangs of freeways. Needless to say that the unit does not work inside buildings or underground although you may wish it would navigate you even in those circumstances since it is a portable device.
Cons: It comes pre-loaded with the North America NT map set and the map set cannot be uploaded to your PC for the use with Garmin Map Source software. If you wish the map set to be used with Map Source, you need to purchase a separate CD of the same map set. It of course costs you extra.
Not tested: It is supposed to have a capability to respond to the FM traffic information, but I have not tested this feature.

Customer Reviews:
Don't waste your time.......2007-06-27
1) Sound is dismal beyond belief unless room is absolutely quiet - volume is too weak.
2) Poor design - speakers swivel & rotate annoyingly around your iPod.
3) Overpriced - there are better choices. Don't waste your time or money with this junk.
Don't waste your time with this trash........2007-06-16
I bought this in hopeing that it would be a good emergency speaker for my IPOD Video but it simply sucks. The sound is set at a single level (below conversational sound) so you can only hear it in a quiet place. It falls out and swivels from your IPOD as it doesn't fit well. This device is a serious waste of your money when there are so many other speakers to buy that work better.
Pricey product for the performance it delivers........2007-05-09
It's a good idea but it has some flaws:
1.- Even when it works on any iPod, it was designed for the early models with the headphone connector in the middle.
2.- Sound is very low.
It's well made but needs to be improved and a new model for the newer iPods is also needed unless you don't care the speakers turns around freely and a third of this thing it's off your Pod side.
Waste of Money.......2007-04-29
Please dont waste your money on this thing, the sound is very faint even when turned up to the max and you'll go through alot of batteries just to use it.
Poor Volume.......2007-04-26
This product is a disappointment. The volume coming out of the speakers, even with the iPod volume set at maximum, was barely audible. This product would be great if one could hear it.
