Garmin nuvi 755/755T Review

image It has lived up to my expectations in every way after using it for a week. It was extensively used during a 250 mile day trip to Milwaukee from suburban Chicago. I felt extremely confident driving around in unfamiliar territory.

*Sattelite load is quick- nearly instant except for (1) instance where it took about a minute.

*Traffic alert and map showed congestion and offered the option to go around.

*The selected routed for areas I am familiar with were nearly identical to the ones I have driven over the years.

*The dislay is bright, clear and updates quickly. I did not experience any sluggishness.

*The lane assist works on several exits in the Chicago area- not any in the Milwaukee area. These snapshots appeared at just the right time to illustrate the proper exit lane based on the highlighted road sign. I imagine this will become available for many more highways as maps are updated.

*Mounting and connecting were first rate- the windshield suction worked very well as did the unit power adapter and cable.

*I did not use FM transmitter- I see no need to do this.

*The street names and voice commands were loud, clear and in plenty of time to navigate properly.

I am not displeased about any attribute of this device. I highly recommend it.

Know the Lane Before It’s Too Late

Get Turn-by-Turn Directions
nüvi 755T’s intuitive interface greets you with two simple questions: “Where to?” and “View Map.” Touch the color screen to easily look up addresses and services and get voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions that speak street names to your destination. It comes preloaded with detailed City Navigator NT street maps, nearly 6 million points of interest (POIs) and features digital elevation maps and 3-D building view in some areas to help you orient yourself with your surroundings. You can also upload custom points of interest (POIs). With HotFix satellite prediction, nüvi calculates your position faster to get you there quicker, and its ultra-fast map redraw ensures a smooth user interface.

Avoid Traffic Tie-ups
Steer clear of traffic with nüvi 755T’s integrated FM traffic receiver. Receive alerts about traffic delays and road construction that lie ahead on your route. Next, simply touch nüvi’s screen to view traffic details or detour around the problem area.
