I'm looking for the best bang for the buck Garmin navigation setup...Which one should I get and why?
Get a bottom end nüvi, because better is the enemy of good enough.I'm looking for the best bang for the buck Garmin navigation setup...Which one should I get and why?
I pulled the trigger on a Nuvi 760 a few months ago and could not be happier. In fact I got one for my girlfriend as well. I do a tremendous amount of traveling for my job and have been pleased with the ease of use. The points of interest is a great feature I would not skimp on.
One major difference between lower end units and the 760 or others like it besides the beautiful screen is the annunciation of the name of the road/street as you approach it. This can not be overstated especially if you do not know the area. Recently I found myself on a crowded cloverleaf and the nuvi 760 alerted which lane I should be in and how soon my exit would be comming up. Keeping your eyes on the road is paramount.
Time of arrival is a cool feature and I have found it to be very accurate.
I know the price tag is high but once you get used to the extra features that the 760 offers the price becomes secondary.
Whatever you decide you will be pleased especially when your significant other is with you. No more arguments about getting lost...priceless!
I have a Nuvi 350 and love it. The only major feature it lacks is bluetooth, but I never really felt I had a need for it. It's an excellent product all around. I love it.

I've had 3 nüvi's and numerous others over the years and just love my Colorado 400T. I can use it in and out of the vehicle, boating, geocaching, driving, hiking, you name it.
It's the most verstatile and useful GPS I've ever owned.
