Garmin 750 Review from David S.
Rating: ★★★★½

garmin 750 review We just picked up the Garmin 750 nuvi to put in the family vehicle and allow my wife to take our old garmin nuvi 660 exclusively in her own car as we fight over that like cats and dogs!!

This is one hot little unit folks – the new look and design of this badboy are as much an aesthetic upgrade as it is a portability upgrade with its slim shell. I don’t have too much to report in this garmin nuvi 750 review just yet, but so far there are a few obvious pro’s and con’s that I can point out until we take this cross country for the holidays:

Pro’s of the Garmin 750 GPS:

  1. The new screen is more bright and vibrant with better contrast and glare resistance which makes it seem much easier and reliable to read in all sort of conditions of the cockpit
  2. Solid, simple and intuitive… This might be said about the Nuvi 660 we have too, although there are a few upgrades and layout changes that are marked improvements on the UI
  3. The new ’slim form factor’ is great, and makes it less bulky and invasive on the windshield. The disappearance of the antenna which sticks on the garmin nuvi 660 is a nice change and no loss in power to the sky has been seen yet (although it’s been all sun and no clouds so far)
  4. Garmin’s name – what else can I say… Garmin GPS’s are hands down said to be the best and although I haven’t owned a competing unit, I’ll take the word of the Nuvi reviews on net to be tried and true already.

Con’s of the Garmin Nuvi 750 GPS:

  1. Lack of a comprehensive manual out the box… Be warned if you are the type of person that likes to really examine and read the manual of your new electronics front to back, garmin simply doesn’t simply believe in including a comprehensive manual in the box but does offer one online
  2. A nice little carrying case for those that like to slip and toss around there unit in pockets would be nice – I bought the Nuvi 660 leather case for those days when I’m walking around with this thing in my pocket and don’t want to scratch it
  3. Not exactly cheap just yet… maybe in 3-4 years GPS technology will cost next to nothing, but for now unless you feel like you could really take advantage and travel more then a couple times of year, look at some of the cheaper and lower prices alternatives

With that being said this looks like it seriously trumps garmin’s nuvi 600 and 300 model ranges, and I am absolutely satisfied with my purchase and will give this thing a 9 out of 10 rating if not for the very minor cons :)
