Great screen, easy to read in bright sunlight. Fast response time, accurate readings and so far maps seem up to date. Have yet to put it to the test with a difficult long trip. By Nubi, January 28, 2009 Pros: easy to read map, finds satalite quicklyCons: small communites shopping/directions not accurateMy first GPS system so I'm not able to compare. Works well. Easy to use. I like the voice feature. Directions not always accurate, tells you to make a turn where no turn exists. Shopping areas, gas stations, etc. not always the closest. You can see a gas station in a small community from your car but it tells you the closest gas station by that company is 100 km away in another community. ciao.com By PEACEonEARTH, Jan 31, 2009 I recently upgraded my GPS to a Garmin Nuvi 775T. I am impressed with this GPS model due to the extra features it has over my previous Garmin. I like the new lane guidance feature which gives you a 3D view of what lane you should be in and which signs to look for when exiting. This was a big issue with my older GPS, because I would occasionally be in the wrong lane and miss my exit. The Garmin Nuvi 775T also has bluetooth technology if you want to talk hands free, which is something I thought I would never use, but has come in handy many times since I purchased this GPS. The integrated traffic reports are awesome on the 775T because you dont have to sign up for a subscription. I found few other GPS devices that offer that service for free. Buzzillions.com By Al, Feb 25, 2009 It's great. I travel alot at work and get sent to different areas which I am not that familiar with or don't know at all, so it is very practical for that reason alone. It also gives traffic advisories, allowing me to decide if I should seek an alternate route due to congestion. Finally, my old GPS was big and bulky, the nuvi775T fits in my pocket and has come in handy when I am away from home.
