Summary: It works !
Comment: I drive a lot for work; upwards of 20,000 yearly. almost all in the northeast, MD, PA and NY. I used to print directions off Mapquest and/or use my Blackeberry but..... that was a pain. My Nuvi worked perfectly out of the box. It is amazing how well it works in fact. I'd highly recommend one. I like that fact that it is portable and lightweight for use out of the vehicle.

Summary: Poor Routing
Comment: I have had this GPS navigator for about six months and the routing is terrible. You cannot choose to use highway only in the routing preferences and more often than not, the routing goes through roads with stop lights, even when a highway route is available.
I have friends with three year old GPS systems give better routing results and shorter drive times.

Summary: Garmin Nuvi 780
Comment: The GPS Garmin Nuvi 780 is an amazing device. Offers great traffic routes, easy to operate, good battery power and a very reliable holder when placed on a flat surface (such as a window). The only downside is the MNS Direct Network feature. During my researching of GPS', I failed to explore if the MNS Network was availalbe in the city where I reside. It isn't however, may be in the near future. I could have purchased the Nuvi 760 and saved $$. Nevertheless, the 780 meets all the requirements I had anticipated. Highly recommend the 780 (or the 760).

Summary: Great Navigator, Wish I could customize more...
Comment: I bought this before a drive from Virginia to Texas and it was a great comfort and aid. Looking up hotels, food and gas was quite helpful. The MSN direct helped around traffic and in finding weather. After trying myself then contacting Garmin I was very discouraged to find that the gas prices MSN Direct finds are only for regular unleaded. My truck is diesel so that feature, one I bought this model to access, was of no use. Around town the MSN direct is great if you live in a major city as I have found the traffic warnings, the location more so than the time of delay, to be very helpful and accurate. It also helps with simple tasks like checking movie times and stock prices if you can't already get those on your phone. As with every GPS I have found, sometimes the directions have you doing loop-de-loops because it sends you to U-turns where they are illegal or tells you to cross a median to turn left when there's a curb in the way etc. On military based it does not take into account the limited access through gates so you need to know your way around. Overall, good navigator but you still need to pay attention to where you are going so it doesnt get you in trouble.

Go wide and get MSN Direct with nvi 780. This navigator has it all - advanced navigation features, a widescreen display, preloaded maps, an FM transmitter and hands-free calling - plus real-time local weather, traffic, movie times, stock information, gas prices and news and local events. Like the rest of the wide nvi 700-series, its premium navigation capabilities, like route planning and a handy locator, give you peace of mind on the go.
