Where to buy Garmin nüvi 765/765T 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator (Factory Refurbished)Nice unit, but tricky bluetoothBy R. GoffAfter having used the 760/780 for a year I picked up this unit for my wife to use. I had it on order for a 4 days and it didn't ship even though it was in stock. Had the option to cancel that order and I reordered when it hit $189 and chose two day shipping and it shipped right away, annoying, but I digress.The unit arrived in perfect condition except for a few fingerprints which easily wiped off, and included all accessories. I was able to register the unit on the Garmin website, and was offered a free map upgrade. Things that differ from the 760:- bar along the top - instead of displaying the upcoming crossroad, the 765 displays the street you are driving on. Pretty useless. I would much rather have it display the upcoming crossroad.- Upcoming turn arrows in the top left are a nice addition.- The 765 still displays your current speed on the lefthand tag when navigating a route. On the 760 - that vanished and was replace with something else when on a route. - The righthand tag can be customized to display the ETA, current time, or elevation.- Zoom in / out buttons are now both located on the righthand side, as is the shortcut button for the mp3 player. The mp3 button is quite small. - Lifetime traffic works well and was timely on my commute home last night. Unit correctly anticipated traffic and routed me around it. - Bluetooth does not work as well as the 760. Had great difficulty pairing with a Motorola W385. I eventually did after several tries, but will not download the contacts. I need to "connect" every time I turn on the nuvi. My old 760 had no problem and connected automatically once the phone was in range. UPDATE - bluetooth works much better after I abandoned trying to pair through the GPS and instead just searched for devices via the phone only. My phone picked up the 765 easily, then afterwards I changed the setting on my phone to connect automatically. It now connects as painlessly as the 760 did. Phonebook downloaded as well. Voice dial does not work though. - FM transmitter was initially very weak (as is the one on the 760) but I discovered that if you go into the service screens (Press and hold the battery icon) - you can set the transmitter to "High Power" and it works much better. It is now quite acceptable.- Battery does not last long at all on the 765. Low battery comes on in about 20 minutes with the screen set to full brightness. You can gain run time by setting the screen dimmer.-Screen smoothness / refresh rate and icons are much nicer than on the 760. Screen also seems easier to see in sunlight. - The 765 acquires satellites much quicker. - speaker is louder on the 765. I could barely hear the 760. - 3D building view is pretty cool.- Have not seen the junction view yet, though I have only used it for a few days.UPDATE - Junction view worked well on my recent Thanksgiving trip. Doesn't kick in very often though. - Both units support multi point routing which is a major ... »» Read more about Garmin nüvi 765/765T 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator (Factory Refurbished).
