4 out of 5 stars   nuvi 755T
By PeterGunn on September 25, 2010

Review submitted for Garmin nuvi 755T North America City Navigator GPS (GRNUVI755T)
Pros: Easy To Set Up, Simple Controls, MapSource - Great, Easy Menus, One time update great, Reliable Performance, Acquires Satellites Quickly, Compact
Cons: Screen Too Small
Other Comments: The nuvi755T combined with the MapSource computer based software makes an excellent route planning tool. The unit itself is accurate and dependable. The traffic aid is handy, too, especially the "Avoid" function during a route. The MapSource software was loaded to my computer when I updated my maps via the One Time Free map update. My only "con" is that the screen is too small, and that makes it difficult for me to read. I'd recommend this unit.

2 out of 5 stars   The jury is still out
By Jim on August 28, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Garmin nuvi 755T North America City Navigator GPS (GRNUVI755T)
Pros: Large Screen, Compact, Easy To Read, Acquires Satellites Quickly, Simple Controls, Easy Menus, Easy To Set Up
Cons: Inaccurate
Other Comments: This is my third Garmin GPS system, and frankly, I think I got a lemon this time. The system picks routes that I know to be longer (distance and time). In addition, on a recent short trip, the predicted arrival time kept fluctuating by hours, not minutes. It said I'd arrive at 4:30 at by house, but 1:14 if I went to my next door neighbor's house even though it calculated the same route to both. I assume it's a software issue, so I intent to ask for a replacement.

Pros: Reliable Performance, Easy Menus, Compact, Simple Controls, Acquires Satellites Quickly, Easy To Read, Easy To Set Up
Cons: Flimsy Mounting
Other Comments: It is a great device. The only thing is that its mounting would be better somewhere at the dashboard level (as they do at car rentals), not on the winshield.

By desert traveler on July 23, 2010

Review submitted for Garmin nuvi 755T North America City Navigator GPS (GRNUVI755T)
Pros: Easy Menus, Large Screen, Acquires Satellites Quickly, Reliable Performance, Compact, Easy To Read, Easy To Set Up, Simple Controls
Cons:
Other Comments: Only one problem I have noticed. I planned a route for a trip we are taking to Arizona. The GPS took me exactly where I indicated I wanted to go. HOwever, when I checked the route against a map I found the GPS mileage was over 200 miles longer than the actual route. I plan to check this closer when I am on the actual trip next month.

4 out of 5 stars   Really great... most everywhere you go..
By Coaster on July 12, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Garmin nuvi 755T North America City Navigator GPS (GRNUVI755T)
Pros: Easy To Set Up, Acquires Satellites Quickly, Compact, Large Screen, Easy Menus, Simple Controls, Reliable Performance, Easy To Read
Cons: Flimsy Mounting, Short Battery Life
Other Comments: I recieved my Garmin nuvi 755T in the mail just the day before I left for a vacation that covered 9 of these United States of America. I was able to quickly learn the basics so that I could begin my travels. My nuvi 755T saved my butt many times when going through the many urban and rural areas in states of which I have never been to previously. Regular old paper maps would have been a nightmare and would have taken me much more time and with certain hassle if I did not have my nuvi 755T. For me, it is the perfect choice.

5 out of 5 stars   I Will Only Use A Garmin

Pros: Acquires Satellites Quickly, Simple Controls, Easy To Read, Large Screen, Reliable Performance, Compact, Easy Menus, Easy To Set Up

Other Comments: Love this product! I've used Garmin in the past and decided it was time for an upgrade. Purchased a TomTom to try something new. Couldn't even compare to a Garmin. Returned the TomTom and went with a new, upgraded Garmin! Garmin is second to none.

4 out of 5 stars   Good, But Can Take Some Getting Used To
By MurrayHill on June 21, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Garmin nuvi 755T North America City Navigator GPS (GRNUVI755T)
Pros: Compact, Easy To Read
Cons: Difficult Menus, Acquires Satellites Slowly
Other Comments: I used this to replace a Magellan 1412, and while this is a superior machine, it takes some getting used to. The maps are great, yet they can sometimes take a while to load, if you change locations, e.g. flying across the country. It's also a bit difficult to see the turn-by-turn directions after the route has been loaded. Finding them is not intuitive and can often lead to pressing the wrong button. More thorough instructions would have been helpful, but there is only a cursory quick-start guide included. Still, it's a solid effort and a great value. The traffic feature is useful -- when it's up-to-date.

Pros: Simple Controls, Acquires Satellites Quickly, Easy To Read
Cons: Hard to type in place
Other Comments: Love this GPS only negative is the fact that when you are using the keyboard to type that it sometimes does not register the letter you pushed. Other then that overall a great buy!! Can't wait to use it on my upcoming road trip to the Grand Canyon (the main reason I bought it)

Review submitted for Garmin nuvi 755T North America City Navigator GPS (GRNUVI755T)
Pros: Easy To Read, Compact, Reliable Performance, Acquires Satellites Quickly, Large Screen, Easy To Set Up, Simple Controls, Easy Menus
Cons:
Other Comments: I use a GPS navigator for trips outside my home city. And, although I have lived in my current home for 11 years, I also use the GPS to find local addresses in areas of the city with which I am not familiar. It is particularly good for night driving because we do not have well illuminated streets.

1 out of 5 stars   Returned due to poor audio
By Edward on May 20, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Garmin nuvi 755T North America City Navigator GPS (GRNUVI755T)
Pros: Simple Controls
Cons: Poor Audio
Other Comments: Customer relations person indicated there is an issue with the audio. Window mounting bracket covers most of the speaker. Could not resolve the issue so returned for refund. I would advise purchase of a 1490T and discontinuation of the 755T due to its obvious audio problem. The 1490T has larger screen, brighter display and above all excellent audio quality.
