Re: Ordered the new GPS to day!!!
I went to the 765T and like most things about it. Your price does sound really good as I paid $200 and then an additional $120 for the lifetime map updates. I got mine at Christmas time and as I say, I like most things. We had a Garmin Quest before and this one has much better graphics and the lane assist is also a standout. I do miss the fact that with my Quest, the map also ran on my computer and you planned routes on the computer and then down-loaded them to the Quest to use them. That allowed me to review the route on the computer's larger screen against a map just to verify that no strange things were planned. I really miss that feature, but could not find anyone who has it presently.
The #1 weakness is that when the Nuvi talks to you, it reads the road or highway names from the data base and picks whatever happens to be listed first on a road with multiple routes. In some cases it means that a frontage road may also be called the same as the highway it parallels and it also gives bad names on exits at times. For that reason, it is important that you watch the graphic screen and do not rely upon the voice directions alone.
Also, the transmissions of traffic warnings are of somewhat dubious value. The sometimes warn of traffic that you never see and other times they warn after you are in it. It doesn't hurt anything, but I sure would not pay extra go get it in the future.
