I'm both delighted and disappointed
After two months' use in the Boston, Washington DC, and Portland (OR) metropolitan areas, and also on O'ahu, I now feel qualified to review this product. I'm both delighted and disappointed by the nüvi 755T. I chose this model because it combined the set of functions in which I was interested, and I'll discuss its different functions in turn.Basic navigation functionsI've not had much first-hand experience with auto GPS units since the first generation Hertz "NeverLost" model...

Great portable GPS
I've owned my 755T for a little while now. I waited to use it a bit before writing this review.Overall I'm extremely happy with my Garmin. This is my 3rd GPS, the other two being built-in car units (one factory, one aftermarket). Of the three, the Garmin is the most user friendly, easiest to understand and follow, easiest to update by far, and is the fastest at tracking where I am.I've had the opportunity to use the 755T in a few different cities on the west coast from Ca...

Ok unit but poor user interface - I returned it.
This review is from: Garmin nüvi 755/755T 4.3 Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic (Electronics) HiI'm a professional territory manager. I travel a lot and I love my old StreetPilot 2720. I've had it for several years and it has served me very well. It's quick and easy to use when you're on the road and moving. I decided thought that traffic data and a built in battery would be useful, so I ordered the Nuvi 755T and thought all would be well. Ohh my.. what a u...

I Expected Better
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Garmin nüvi 755/755T 4.3 Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic (Electronics) Before the unit even arrived, I got an email from Amazon indicating that there was a bug in the operating system and that it should be upgraded (free of charge). I used my free, one time only map upgrade immediately. Good thing, as far as I'm concerned, sinc...

Impressive little device
I received this unit for Christmas and could not be more impressed. We recently moved to the Chicago NW suburbs and I was in desperate need of some expert navigational help. While I have not had the device for very long, I have logged about 12 hours of driving time in the Chicagoland area with this beauty directing me.Pros:First, and this should be reiterated, it is a beautiful device. The rubberized metallic frame feels solid and looks stunning. The heft is just right an...

As good as it gets
I have owned GPSs from Garmin since they came out I think. My first one was a StreetPilot and cost around [...] in 2000. I used to pull it out to go somewhere and my passengers couldn't believe such a thing even existed. When it came time to replace the old workhorse, I REALLY looked around for days and days. I think I compared and read reviews of every possible model from all known makers including the one-offs. So I feel like a qualified buyer.There are whole sites dedi...

Will be great for many, but a deal breaker negative for me
The graphics and interface on the 755T are some of the best I've seen on the few GPS units I've tried. I wasn't exactly thrilled by the interface to be honest, but it's better than others in terms of being intuitive.The colors are crisp, the directions I received were accurate, the voice was clear. The unit was excellent on the highway alerting me to each exit before I reached it - loved that feature.I didn't try the traffic function as I didn't enter a major city so I ...

Good job Garmin
I'll address what was my biggest apprehension in going for an ad based, free traffic program. No issue! The ads are small and not at all intrusive. My eyes never were pulled in a way that was a distraction. I can even envision the few occasions that it might even benefit both the advertiser and the user. If you think about it ... newspaper, radio, internet, TV ... advertising is very much a part of our culture and in this case very tastefully done.Before further review, good grie...

Pros/Cons & Compare to Navigon 2100 max
Background: I had always rented vehicles with a GPS until recently my frequency of travel to unfamiliar cities had reached a point where it made sense to purchase my own. I was not looking for a GPS to play MP3s, make phone calls, take photos, or fill out my taxes. I simply care about its ability to navigate from point A to B and to get around an unfamiliar place, and so I'll limit this review to those features. I tried two devices: the Garmin nuvi 755T (same as the 765T minus the Bluetooth) and...
