Garmin nüvi 760 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Automobile Navigator Review from Gadget Man Gadget Man. Bullet List of What Isn’t Good, Lots of reviews here that cover the bases. So I’ll limit this to a bullet list of some items I found annoying:

1. Hands free calling is not as good as my BlueAnt gizmo. Callers on other end said my voice sounded muddy and uneven. When I tried the Garmin 670, callers on the other end preferred it. But overall the Blue Ant was best.

2. The speaker on the 760 is tinnier than on the Garmin 670 and annoying. The 670 is a thicker model, and I suppose they were able to fit a better speaker. If you’re just using maps and guidance this is not a big deal. But if you use hands free dialing, it is terrible.

3. I disagree with another post about the font. I think the font on the 670 is sharper and easier to read than on the 760 model. Much of the time (not always) the font is larger on the 670 model.

4. The MP3 on both models is rudimentary at best. The playlist function does not work very well.

5. The supposed ability to play sound through the FM is a joke. Neither unit works well enough to use…ever. Sometimes nothing comes through. When sound does show up, it is scratchy and irritating beyond belief. If Garmin is going to list this as a feature, they need to go back to the drawing table. As of now, the implementation of this feature is pathetic.

6. Both the 760 and the 670 lock GPS about the same speed…perhaps the 760 is a touch faster…but not to the extent anyone would really notice.

7. 760 is thinner and doesn’t need to open the antenna. So it is much easier to use in pedestrian mode. On the 670 with the GPS antenna up, it’s tough to fit the unit in your pocket. So pedestrian mode isn’t realistic on the 670.

8. Garmin got ridiculously cheap on the 760 with respect to accessories. NO AC Adapter; no disk for PDF Help file; no case. All three are standard on the 670 model.

Garmin’s Maps and POI are both great. The guidance works very well. So bottom line, is that it is the hands free phone use, playing sound through FM and MP3 that I’m critical of.
