BLUETOOTH problem March 10, 2010
Don S. Carlson (Rockville, MD USA)
The Garmin Nuvi 765 is great, BUT I also have the HTC Hero phone, It is NOT Bluetooth compatible with the Nuvi 765. Tech support said "Sorry". So unless they figure out a firmware upgrade, I am out-of-luck. Check the Garmin Bluetooth compatibility list if this is a requirement for your purchase.
 An Okay GPS March 9, 2010
J. Marshall (ON Canada)
This is an okay GPS. I like all of the features it has but am unimpressed with the maps. I tried to locate my home address and instead of being located under the town that I live in, it is located in the township I live in. If I am travelling to a place that is small and I don't know the township it will be a real pain to find the street. The maps or at least locating streets near a town are much easier to use on TomTom. Other than that, everything else is above average with this GPS.
Great Features and Functions. Hardware needs work. March 9, 2010
N. Hamlett
I have been using the Nuvi for approximately nine months. I don't know how I lived without it before. The software is terrific! Easy to use and understand.
The hardware needs some work however. The life of the device is short: About an hour. Significantly less than the five advertised. The touch screen is primitive and clunky compared to what iTouch and iPhone users are accustomed to. Even though it recalibrates itself periodically, it still has errors. If you touch the "a" character, for example, the device will record an s, z, or q.
The most disconcerting problem was that the device simply stopped working one morning. It would not power up.
Garmin's product support pales compared to that of industry leaders (e.g., Apple). When you register the problem on their website, they send you an email pointing you back to the FAQ diagnostics that you've already tried. A 30-45 minute wait on hold is required in order to talk to a human being on their customer support lines.
 Unfortunately I Returned This Unit March 9, 2010
Jonathan M. LHomme (Mystic, CT)

I bought the 765T with great hopes, despite user comments about the touch screen. After using it on a trip to Florida, I returned it. The touch screen is horrible, the traffic NEVER was accurate, the unit crashed at least ten times, and it was just a nuisance. This is unfortunate as the screen is clear and colorful and I liked the directions and screen layout. Garmin is the only manufacturer I have seen who provides the ability to plot routes (via MapSource) on your PC and then transfer the route, not just the start and end points, to the unit. If you use MapSource, just make sure you review your route a few times though. If you click a millionth of an inch off a highway, it thinks you want to exit the highway and go to that point. So the directions, left unchecked, would have you exit the highway, go to the point you clicked, then get back on the highway to head for your end destination. Annoying but I guess this makes sense since afterall, you did click a point off the highway. A user interface modification would be helpful to alert the user though (maybe Garmin reads this??)
Bluetooth worked well, although I disabled it as using my bluetooth earpiece was far better than using the Nuvi.
I have always used Garmin products and was really disappointed with this one. This unit was just too cumbersome and I found myself making excuses for keeping it.
Not quite sure yet. March 8, 2010
Brian Smith (San Jose, CA)
The 765 seems to do the essential job ok but I will agree with others that the touch screen has some issues. I recalibrated it and that seemed to help somewhat but I still find that it erroneously selects icons which I clearly did not touch. I'd say 1 in every 20 or so touches, I'll have to take corrective action due to this flaw.
It seems to take me out of my way sometimes even though I've set the navigation to not avoid anything and I've also set it to take the fastest route. For example, I absolutely know the fastest route to my work and yet this insists on taking a path which is definitely not the fastest. In fact, it is likely one of the slower routes.
The rerouting works fairly well. I've gone against its directions many times and it seems to recalculate fairly readily.
For the most part it navigates correctly and displays street names in a timely manner however there have been a few times where it tells me that "I'm arriving at destination" and it is way too late for me to make the turn even though I'm at or under the speed limit.
The FM transmitter is ok. There are times when the static is noticeable but it's not annoying.
I've had no problems with volume on the unit itself or through the car speakers.
I have not tried lane assist or the traffic features yet.
Bluetooth works well and was easy to set up.
The battery is Lithium-Ion.
Bottom line is I'm going to test it some more over the next week or so and in areas I am less familiar with.
