Garmin continues to build up its nüvi 7xx series portableGPS navigators with its nüvi 755T, which adds a number of handy routing and communication features to an already impressive list of specs, including a 4.3-inch widescreen display, text-to-speech capabilities, media player, and FM transmitter for transmitting audio--including directions and MP3 music and audiobooks--from the device to your car radio.New to the nüvi 7x5 lineup is Garmin's HotFix satellite prediction (which locates your position quickly and precisely), Lane Assist (which provides lane guidance and junction views when possible), automatic time zone transitioning, and 3D Building views as well as Garmin Connect Photos to help you visually ascertain your position. Additionally, the nüvi 755T includes free real-time traffic updates from Navteq (for the life of the device) via the included GTM 20 traffic receiver.The bright, 4.3-inch touchscreen display gives is anti-glare for ease of viewing during the day and automatically changes its color profile for easy viewing at night or in dim light. It offers 2d or 3D perspective views. The widescreen format gives you 70 percent more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push.

User Reviews about Garmin nüvi 755 755T 4.3 Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic

Lived in California all my life--"many years" And felt I knew how to get to anywhere I wanted to go...However, Went to Stanford to a lecture from Marin--Did Mapquest for route--worked fine except ,when leaving for home it was DARK-could not see street signs..and the route i came in on was full of no left turns..If it had not been for the directional letters on my rear view mirror I would have ended up in San Jose..I had to stop at Starbucks to get direction to get back to freeway...
Love my GPS...used it to re-route when I tried to take short-cut in Sacramento to get around roadwork...
Thank you GPS -- You can teach a "senior" new tricks

This Garmin has all you need in a GPS. It comes with features that usually accompany higher end models. It's ease of use is a joy. Definitely a good buy. -- Good bargain with the features

This is my first GPS navigator. It's very user friendly and works flawlessly. The best part is the price at Amazon.com, can't beat it. It was a great buy and am enjoying the product. -- I love the product. It was a great purchase.

Purchased this unit for my wife, she had a GPS that was several years old and figured this would be a nice upgrade.
Item is great, the lane assist is a very helpful, probably my wifes favorite feature. The route it selects is very logical (the older unit would suggest odd routes).

The only downside, Item was purchased as a christmas gift, here we are 2 months later and the unit stopped working. The display no longer funtions. When I called Garmin, I was told the wait time on the phone was 60 to 90 minutes. I went to get an RMA on the net, that will take 2 to 3 days, then I need to ship it back at my expense so they can repair or replace. (I've read that they usually send back a refurished one)

So the unit is nice, the quality not that best and the customer service and Garmin not all that great. -- Nice Unit, Easy to Use, Quality a bit suspect
