This was my first GPS device ever. Researched all the GARMIN models and this one seemed reasonable for the money they charged. Received the device promptly ( i bought a new one). Setup is a breeze and I was up and running within minutes once the software setup was completed ( it downloads a 2Gb+ file ).
Reception is superb where I live ( central jersey). So far it has never given me wrong directions. Particularly love the Bluetooth features - was able to setup both my wife's and my cell phone in a snap - it imports the address book from your phone book. Love making/receiving call whilst driving ( have a bluetooth earpiece that I paid $40 for and never really used).
The only complaint is that it does not really show the path that needs to be taken when there are multiple exits/highways merging or splitting like the picture in the advertisement - I saw this only once whilst driving the NJ/NYC area.
Otherwise satisfied with the device and would recommend this to anyone looking to buy a decent GPS at a good price.
 Functional but efficient it is not February 8, 2010

Before you buy, you should know:
I do like the unit. I'm up in the air if I'd still have bought (probably - I'm on a two month road trip and it does work, technically). My major issues are:
Routes:
I turned it on for my first test route (one that I've done nearly 100 times and know very well. The unit wanted to me to route all kinds of weird ways and at first I thought maybe I had a setting wrong somewhere. So I changed from faster route to shortest distance. It still wanted me to take a much less efficient route. I stayed the course and it would recalculate (often). I was driving a straight line route on a major Interstate between two points; and it was rather insistent on a much longer (distance & time) route.
Traffic:
I've had it warn me of an issue that I hit. It also failed to warn me of another issue that I hit. Lastly, it warned me of a dire traffic situation that didn't exist. The only reason I know it didn't exist is because I opted for it's alternative route and saw that it was trying to send me 30 minutes out of the way, to avoid a 20 minute delay. Needless to say, I was NOT impressed. The concept is great... the implementation needs serious work!
This isn't to say it's all bad. If you don't know how to get somewhere it will absolutely get you there. The only problem is that it is money in the bank that it'll take you the most obnoxious way. I was staying with one friend and went to pick up another friend and it directed me perfectly to his place. Total time, 30 minutes. On the return, he directed me to turn onto a freeway and take the exit near his place. Total time, 12 minutes. Efficient it is not.
And yes, I've turned Avoidances off. Am I glad I have it? Yes. It -will- get you there. Perhaps my desire for Google Maps level accuracy in a handheld is a bit much, but I don't think so. Google if you're reading this; make a portable unit that is as accurate as your Maps (tm) and I'll buy it.
 Wished the Touch Screen was more accurate. February 8, 2010

"I loved my previous Garmin Unit and had high expectations of the 765T. It had all the features I really liked about my previous unit, Bluetooth, FM Transmitter, plus new features like Lane Assist and Free Traffic. Plus it came in a nice feeling shell!
I tested them side by side and it did seem to do better when I was taking a different route, it quickly recognized the new path vs. trying to re-route me back to the previous one (like my older unit). But one thing I can't seem to live with is the fact that the Touch screen constantly mis-interpreted my touches. Even when I was aware of the issue, and being careful with what I pressed, it would still get it wrong. My previous unit never had this problem. I would recommend that you test out your unit before purchasing...as this was unacceptable. Even when Holding the erase button down and not moving my finger, it would erase sometimes, and type a '0' the other times. Calibration didn't help at all either. I thought it was faulty software but upgrading the firmware didn't fix the problem. After thinking I had a defective unit, I quickly did a search online and found others with similar issues.
The Free traffic was nice feature, but everytime it stated there was a traffic concern, I would stay on route only to not have any issues at all.
Those were my biggest complaints...so I'm going to return it tomorrow. I'd love to keep it, but with those issues, I just can't deal with having to re-type something 3 times before it gets it right."

Very nice GPS unit with all the features I need. I bought this model instead of the 200 series because of the better display, bluetooth and traffic info. I havent used either the bluetooth or traffic feature. This is a great GPS if you need those things, otherwise, you can get the 260 model for quite a bit less money. And, it is just about as good as the 765.
Great GPS February 7, 2010
Jack Byrd (Mount Airy, NC)
I researched GPS units for a year or so online and through motorhome groups on Yahoo and finally decided to go with the 765T. It has proven to be an excellent choice. It was extremely easy to learn to use. So far it navigates very well and I love it. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
