I've had Garmin's in the past, and decided to upgrade to a larger screen and smaller unit with this purchase.

The first problem I noticed was that when the volume was set to 100%, the speaker clipped out. Maybe that's why it was a refurb? But if so they should have fixed it. It's very annoying and for the most part the volume needed to be 100% to hear it over the road noise and radio.

The FM Transmitter... useless. When using it, you can't listen to your radio. But worse than that, there's a lot of static no matter which station I tried.

Finally... it displays the speed limit, but this was highly inaccurate. Many roads I was on showed different posted speed limits so I'm not sure how useful this feature is.

I'm still giving 3 stars because the GPS functionality itself is good, including the text-to-speech. But this unit had issues and I returned it to look for a different model without the FM Transmitter and hopefully the speaker will be fine.

This is the second Garmin Nuvi 760 bought my family. Of course that clearly my thoughts on this product. Took the bells and whistles, Bluetooth connectivity, FM radio, MP3, real-time traffic updates, etc.. .

Before you purchase a new model I tried a new place Garmin big boxes. What I found is that even if the latest Garmin had some more technical improvements (the display, in particular) that all had a common problem. For some reason changed Garmin mount charger / FM receiver configuration. The 760 is perfect. Must have been the model for all future assembly systems. Instead theyu made some changes that the installation a bit 'heavier, just enough to make it uncomfortable.

Pros: New driver so I think this GPS is very useful. Everything works fine, including the FM transmitter. Many others have complained that it does not work. But this can be solved by connecting a headset or connect an antenna. You also need to find a good frequency. Cons: Sometimes I'm confused on the road. Maybe I'll go with a 765T in the future.

I was sorry I did not receive an operator manual with the product. Could you mail me one?
