Amazon.com Product Description -- January 8, 2008
Garmin's nüvi 700 series brings two exciting new features -- multi-destination routing and, "Where am I?/Where's my car?" -- to its popular pocket-sized GPS navigator lineup. As with all nüvis, you get Garmin reliability, the fast satellite lock of an integrated high-sensitivity receiver, a slim, pocket-sized design with a gorgeous display, an easy, intuitive interface, and detailed NAVTEQ maps for the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico with more than 6 million name-searchable points of interest. All of the 700-series navigators also feature a rich array of features including spoken directions in real street names, MP3 player and photo viewer, and an FM transmitter that will play voice prompts, MP3s, audio books, and more, directly through your vehicle's stereo system. The nüvi 760 and 770 add integrated traffic receivers and Bluetooth capability for hands-free calling. The nüvi 770 adds maps for Europe. The nüvi 780 adds enhanced MSN direct content capability.

Awesome Device, 5/5 star

By	Vodoo (NY) - See all my reviews

People here are obviously confusing the different unit model #'s. The Garmin 700 series covers the 750, 760, and 770. Obviously some of these folks got the 760 and think it's a 750. The 750, which this review space is for, is all silver, there are NOT different color choices. The 760 and 770 have a black finish around the screen. The 750 doesn't come with bluetooth and an included traffic reciever, which doesn't work that good at all and coverage is "spotty" at best. But for the additional $200 they're asking for these insignificant features, I'd recommend the 750 for 200 less. The 770 is the same as the 760 but comes with both N. American AND European maps installed.

These are Garmins top of the line Nuvi's and imo... the best portable gps's on the market. The big difference in the 700 series over last years 600 series is the inclusion of multi-destination routing. So if you're a delivery driver or someone that drives a different route with multiple stops each day, then the 700 series is for you. It can even optimize the stops to take the least amount of time. But if you only need to input 1 or 2 stops, then I'd go with the Nuvi 660. It has all the same features of the 760 (the one that's $200 more than the unit covered here) minus the multi-destination routing. Meaning it has both the bluetooth and traffic reciever included for less of a price than the unit on this page. I own both units and highly recommend either one based on your needs. If you've never owned a gps before, let me say that it doesn't get any more user friendly than Garmins' Nuvi series.

On a side note... stay away from the Garmin "C" series. Yes, they may be SLIGHTLY cheaper than the Nuvi 350 or 360, but what's inside cannot compare. The "C" series uses an outdated chip that requires direct line of site with the sky for satellite reception, meaning that tall buildings and trees WILL affect reception, and it's calculations are nowhere near as timely as what newer units offer. Not to mention, the "C" series has much older maps and is just plain old antiquated. If you're getting a new gps and spending hard-earned money on it, don't get something that's already out-dated. Whichever gps you decide on, make sure it has the SiRF chip in it. The SiRF chip is the defacto standard in the gps market by leaps and bounds. Hope I shed some light for those of you researching a new gps for the first time.

Refurbishment (restoration)

Refurbishment (restoration) is the process of major maintenance or minor repair of an item, either aesthetically or mechanically.
:Refurbishment (electronics)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Refurbishment is the process of maintenance or minor repair of an item, either aesthetically or mechanically.

Computers and laptops that are refurbished usually means that it did not initially pass quality standards of the manufacturer. They then fix or recertify the unit and sell it at a discount price (Up to 30% off). Most of them carry a 30 day store warranty and 90 days with manufacturer.

Refurbished products cannot be sold as new products, that's why they are relabeled as refurbished units. Not even if the item looks new or is resealed by the factory, it still classifies as a refurbished product. Refurbished items may have scratches, dents or other forms of cosmetic damage which do not affect the performance of the unit.

Open-box, returned and/or repaired electronics of all kinds are frequently sold as refurbished, almost always with a guarantee of functionality and at a small discount. Refurbishment is especially common with more expensive types of electronics such as video game consoles and computer monitors, likely because these items have relatively high return rates (attributed to a combination of buyer's remorse and the fact that categories of electronics have a direct cost-to-complexity relationship; complex gadgets are more likely than simpler ones to have one or two defective components) and benefit more, sales-wise, from price-proportional discounts than cheaper items.
