Garmin nüvi 780- great device, good value,
by Alicia, 2010-03-15

I recently purchased a Garmin nüvi 780 to replace a stolen Garmin nüvi 660. The 780 is really slick. I haven't used all of the features yet. Some of the simple basic in the 660 are located in different places on the 780. The map graphics are very detailed. I have found there is so much info in the database that it takes a little longer to load the maps. It also stores your last location. I really like the quick release mount/charger (both for the unit and to your windshield dash); this allows for a quick storage/ removal. The choice of languages are expanded. You can set a voice foreign language & keep the text in English.( It can do Icelandic :)... pretty neat) The volume adjustment is easy to use once you click on the button you can scroll to decrease/increase the volume. I haven't used the bluetooth, or the MSN trial yet. I just completed a trip to the DC area and it worked great. This is a great upgrade or a good gps for a new user. Good value.

 

1st time user,

I gave this garmin to my boyfriend so I haven't gotten to play with it like he has but from what I can tell from his attitude about it and the things he has told me, as well as what I see when we are in his vehicle, he absolutely LOVES it!! And I think it is pretty cool too!! It does things I didn't even know it did and he constantly is telling me little perks about it that are pretty neat. So far, I think it was a great buy and a definite hit with my guy!! Thanks Garmin and Thanks Amazon!

 

Versatile GPS for the money,
by P. David, 2010-03-12

I was looking for a GPS that had hands-free bluetooth technology to integrate with my cell phone. That combined with the FM frequency make driving and talking on the phone very convenient. I've not gone on any long trips yet but the maps seem fairly accurate. However, I have had a couple occasions on major highway bi-pass areas where it seems to get very confused as to the actual direction I'm headed. I'm hopeful that this will be an isolated issue. The upcoming street names are displayed which is nice and helpful as the verbal commands seem to be delayed at times.

 

Garmin let me down,
by Miner49er, 2010-03-11

This is the second Garmin I've purchased in the last few years. My first was stolen from my rig. Satisfied with the product, I ordered the nuvi 780. The GPS device works fine. The problem is with MSN Direct service. It is only good until January 2012. So garmin & Amazon is selling a product that is outdated at the time it is purchased without informing the buyer. I e-mailed Garmin about the problem. Their response was that it was Amazon's responsibility, not theirs to inform buyers of the condition of sale. They said that I should have went to Garmin web site before purchase.
