Customer reviews
Does the job really well 
I chose this unit because of the North American and European maps as well as Mac compatibility. I use it for work and need it to function correctly every time.
As soon as I registered it online, it offered me a free update for North America as a download.
The maps are much more accurate than my old TomTom top-of-the-line for the same areas and the routes are more direct.
Some features that I really like are:
- The unit shows on which side of the street an address is - saving time
- The search for restaurants is very friendly and convenient
- The unit auto powers off when you stop the car
The friction mount as an accessory is much better than the fall-off-when-warm windscreen mount.
Bottom line: the maps, routing and user interface are much better than TomTom’s and Garmin’s high end aviation quality extends to the driving experience.
Horrible Online Experience 
My first problem was with Amazon who copped a “not our problem” deal with me when a concern did arise. Then the Garmin was defective and I returned it which was the second lousy experience with all the aggravation entailed. finally those lovely folks charged me a large restocking fee for a unit that in fact was defective. The net result was I will probably never buy from or through Amazon again and perhaps not online again. I will go to local shops and malls for all my future purchases of anything. Public beware!!!

770 is great, but customer support is awful 
I have owned no less than 6 Garmin GPS’s. The customer support has continued to get worse and worse. I’ve literally tried for months to get the Nuvi 770 to work with my Blackberry Pearl and haven’t been able to get it to work. It is a major undertaking to even get to customer support, let alone get a fix. It is rare that their website menu’s work correctly or completely, when trying to get updates. The E-mail support is many times “canned” and is not an appropriate responce to the problem. When shopping check out the ratings on customer support of the brand you wish to buy.
It was a gem!
This 770 Nuvi saved our trip in England by getting us everywhere easy, smeazy. When I came home I set up the handsfree bluetooth with my cell phone and that was amazing. It was a breeze and the 770 also took the numbers from my cell to set up a very handy phone book. All this in just seconds. What a great little unit.
Great GPS
Great product. Works well with my iMac and quickly updated the latest software. The black face looks much better than the silver. No need for the AC charger, you can charge directly from your computer/laptop with the USB cable.
I live in Switzerland and the preloaded maps work fine. The POI could be better, but I’m sure they are good in the USA. Speed limits are accurately displayed on the freeways. I will also use it in the USA later this year and it’s useful to plan your route before you arrive.
Very quick to pick up a signal.
