If you are trying to find a higher end car GPS unit that offers live updates and good connectivity, then the Garmin Nuvi 755 or nuvi 755T may serve the purpose. It's a very easy to use unit with plenty of functions as it can connect to MSN direct to give info concerning various issues on the road to be used, that might be of importance while traveling. These features help the individual getting towards the location with simplicity and without the risk of misunderstandings.
The info (maps, routes, addresses etc) on the car GPS unit can be backed up on both, a Mac and a PC. The display is very wide and lets the individual view 3-4 streets ahead of time of the existing position. It also has text to speech and offers lane help. It has a currency converter (that doesn't update automatically though), a calculator along with a memory card slot, that allows playback of mp3s and also enables the individual view pictures transferred in the computer. Also, a few songs could be downloaded from the Garmin website, free The journey assistance of the unit is very useful as it even gives mileage from the automobile and also the gas prices at close by gas stations.
The Garmin nuvi 755T unit's speed limit is quite accurate and also the route recalculation, when there is a detour, or if the wrong turn is taken, can also be pretty quick. The visitors help from the device is of excellent significance as it assists in avoiding routes with heavy traffic and highways closed as a result of construction and so on automatically. The route to become followed can be easily customized by telling the device what to prevent in the numerous steps to be followed to reach the location, like U-turns, Interstates, Toll roads and so on. It's weather assistance and also exhibits current offers at numerous places and shows advertisements that might be useful towards the driver.
If there are locations that need to be reached often, they could be additional to the favorites section of the menu and triggered anytime required. But as soon as saved, the list displays only the street names from the destinations within the favorites area and not the town/city name, which isn't very handy for the user. Also the unit doesn't show the names of different towns which are being crossed in the course of traveling, even though the screen has lots of space to fit in such information. The names of little water bodies like rivers and lakes are also not acknowledged by the device. This can be a little disappointing, as the individual might discover a place really appealing someplace along his journey and would desire to go there one day in the future, but he will not be able to do so as he is not aware what the location is really called. The release button is placed at the base of the GPS mount which makes it difficult to remove from the windshield mount. The keypad of the touch screen has very little buttons that will make input by fingers a very hard task. Hence a stylus has to be used for this objective. The voice isn't really loud, the FM transmitter isn't ideal and the display colours are not customizable either.
The Garmin nuvi 755T or nuvi 755 device is like every other car GPS system with live updates its greatest asset. But it is pricier when compared to its alternatives. If cost isn't an issue, this item can be worth purchasing for all it has to provide.
