Product Detail
The nüvi 760 is preloaded with street level maps for Ireland, the UK and Europe, Bluetooth® for hands-free calling, a built-in FM transmitter that allows you to wirelessly transmit audio, including MP3s and phonecalls through the vehicle's stereo system and multi-stop A-to-B-to-C navigation with route planning that automatically sorts your destination to provide an efficient route.Excellent Mapping
The Garmin nüvi 760 is preloaded with the latest Mapsource® City Navigator NT 2008 street-level maps for Ireland, the UK and Europe. Based on Q2, 2007 Navteq map data, there is street-level detail for every town and village in the country. Specifically for Ireland, there is a much more extensive POI database, updated road details including new by-passes and motorway extensions and a number of corrections including road-naming that makes this release the most comprehensive to date.Navigation Features
The Garmin nüvi 760 has a new feature that allows you to enter multiple destinations or stop-overs on your journey and it will automatically sort these to provide you with an efficient route. You can also plan and save up to 10 routes. This means that you can do all your route planning before heading off on your journey which is invaluable when doing deliveries or sales calls or even planning your next holiday. Other features include automatic re-routing, clear text-to-speech voice prompts (i.e. speaks street names e.g. 'Turn left onto Blackthorn road in 50 metres'), 2D and 3D map perspective, a 4.3" diagonal touchscreen, an extensive points of interest database with the ability to add your own POI files.Hands-free Calling
Similar to the popular features of the nüvi 660, the nüvi 760 has Bluetooth® wireless capability which means that the GPS can act as a mobile phone hands-free in your car or hire car. You can also use the nüvi 760 to send and receive SMS text messages.Technical Specification

Verdict
As the replacement for the best selling nüvi 6xx series, the 7xx series is a lighter, thinner version with an integrated GPS receiver.A major benefit is the addition of mutli-stop routing where you can enter in multiple destinations at the same time, optimise the route (i.e. works out the best route for you) and save up to 10 routes for re-use.
The FM transmitter is a standard feature however feedback is mixed with some customers finding the quality of the transmitted sound affected by local radio station transmissions.
Bluetooth in general works well. It is essential that you keep the Bluetooth firmware on both the GPS and your mobile phone up to date otherwise dropped connections and poor sound quality between the phone and sat nav may occur.
Vehicle Options. Unlike earlier models, the nüvi 760 does not have a 'Truck' vehicle option. The only practical solution at present is to avail of Irish Rail bridge height information available from www.mypois.ie.
Quality in general is very high and we would have no problem recommeding this unit.
