With so many GPS receivers on the market, one can become quite overwhelmed when trying to make a decision when shopping for navigational help. Just how much do you need from the device, and what do you want it to do for you? How much do you want to ...

The advertisements only appear on the screen when the vehicle is not in motion, so you don't have to worry about them interrupting your data as you drive. It's a pretty fair exchange for free updates, especially since the ads do not dominate the ...

The nvi 765T introduces 3-D lane assist, 3-D building view, faster screen redraws, route planning, and host of other new enhancements to Garmin's already top-notch nvi product line. A few grievances aside, the new 7x5T series is a major update from ...

Occasionally we feature opinions and reviews from our forum members. SergZak, a very advanced and knowledgeable Nuvi user has written this about his experience with the Nuvi 765T.

The widescreen nuvi 765T sat-nav's design looks remarkably similar to last year's nuvi 760 and could have benefited from a revamp, but plenty of new features have been added to bring the device up to modern standards, such as motorway lane guidance, ...

Geo-tagged image support ; customisable points of interest ; text-to-speech conversion ; HotFix technology

Old-fashioned design ; fiddly FM transmitter set-up ; distracting motorway lane guidance and 3D landmarks ; sluggish reroute calculations ; occasionally insufficient volume

Appearance-wise, the Garmin nuvi 765T is almost identical to last year's nuvi 760. It's only when you look beneath the surface that you can see where modern features have been included, such as the motorway lane guidance, road-speed warnings, 3D ...

Although slightly pricier than TomTom's super-smart XL, the Garmin wipes the floor with it in terms of value. You get a Traffic Message Channel (TMC) receiver in the box, photo-based navigation, Bluetooth for handsfree calls and an FM transmitter. TMC ...

TomTom has been the satnav big dog for years, with Garmin nipping at its heels like a Yorkshire Terrier on heat. Give it its dues, though, Garmin has come up with some top-quality navigators, the Garmin nuvi 765t being the latest in the production line.

To call this user-friendly would be an understatement. Vibrant touchscreen

Too many 3D images. Underwhelming aesthetics

It's got the brains. It's got the brawn. (Luckily the Garmin nuvi 765t doesn't need the looks). Now let's make lots of money.

Despite costing £229, the Garmin nüvi 765T wipes the floor with similarly priced satnav devices in terms of value.

The Garmin nüvi 765T offers bags of value. With a simple-to-use interface and a TMC receiver in the box, getting to your destination in the least possible time will be easy even for novice navigators.

The Garmin nuvi 765t is an in-car GPS satnav with 4.3-inch, 480x272-pixel screen, pan-European maps, TMC traffic and Bluetooth. Navigation includes spoken road names, motorway lane guidance and optional 3D landmarks.

What exactly is wrong with reversing up the motorway when you've missed an exit? Now Garmin has jumped on this perfectly innocent manoeuvre as though it's something shameful, with new motorway lane graphics that make negotiating exits as tediously ...

Cluttering the screen with 3D landmarks doesn't actually make urban driving any easier, especially in historic city centres cluttered with windy roads and ‘quaint' buildings. While satellite lock on and initial route calculations are fast, traffic ...

A decent enough mid-range unit thanks to its comprehensive new Euro maps, but the Garmin's graphical gimmicks can actually make driving more difficult. Shop around for the previous 760t model to save yourself 50 quid - and some navigational headaches.

Garmin has a bewildering range of in-car sat-navs, but this one is closest to our perennial favourite, the TomTom Go 730. But is it as good?

Well made. Clear screen graphics. Good value

Weak speaker. Near-field mapping. Confusing range
