I am thr proud owner of not one, but two Garmins. I love the brand in general and decided to upfrade my Nuvi 205 to a larger more advanced model. When I bought mine over 2 years ago, It was top notch but now they offer 3D buildings, spoken street names and real time traffic. I ordered my new a couple weeks ago for our anual vacation to Sc. To make this review as brief as possible so you get the most from it, I will list everything that is wrong with this model.
1. Touch screen is way off. Even after callibrating the Garmin,you still have to press underneath whatever you are trying to touch in order for it to work.
2. Touch screen AGAIN- Sometimes you can touch something on the far left of the screen and it will select an option from the complete other side of the screen.
3. Randomly shuts off for no reason. I could be using the MP3 player or just inputting a address and then boom, it shuts off and cycles back on again. Then I have to start all over again.
4. Lane assist? Maybe. If you are in a area which is covered which is not very many. I drove 9 hour trip on the east coast and could only get the lane assist feature to work in the DC area.
5. 3D Maps. Nope! Well maybe in some areas. Used this garmin from DC to SC and NEVER once was able to see anything/buildings in 3D.
4. Keyboard freezes. When you start to type either an address or a "Point of intrest" it will select the first letter and then lagg/freeze for a good while with the letter highlighten in orange before you can finish typing. I had to pull over at one point because it was taking me almost 5 minutes to type a location which is dangerous.
I hope this review helps. I was really excited about this new garmin, but my 2 1/2 year old plan jane model with absolutely no features works every time! I still need another Garmin though so I have since ordered the Garmin 855 and I have high hopes that this model with be a little more user friendly and "Bug" free.
I will say, the one feature I loved was ( Which is not only in this model thank god) is the MSN direct because the live traffic worked so well. The MSN direct was able to detect a 40 min traffic jam long before it happened and re routed us to a different route.

While looking for a great deal from a brick and mortar store to the Internet; I found this gem right here.I drive tour buses and this jewel saves me many headaches. I saved over $50 from a regular store and the customer service is tops. I would buy again from Amazon.com.

I bought mine about a month ago. I used it on some shorter trips. But a few days ago mI used it to travel from CT to GA. This model has an mp3 player built in. Although my car has a CD player I just put my 8 gig SD card in and made a big playlist. It worked nice but it took me a few tries to figure out hgow to get the playlist to work because its a different format than my Sansa mp3 player. This model has a built in FM transmitter too. Don't bother with that feature. It's too weak to give a clean signal. I just plugged my external unit into the headphone jack. It was much better.
I noticed on the lower left of the screen it displays the speed limit sign. Well its quite accurate. But what I reall noticed about it was when the speed limit changed I saw it change on the screen as soon as I passed the sctual speed limit sign on the Interstate. I like the POI feature and found that I can find places that I didn't need to bother inputting their address's for. I noticed when I crossed state lines it displays a dotted line where you cross it too. Also when I was travelling along the interstate the upper right displays how many miles are left on it. But all it really is displaying is how many miles until the next major exit ant it keeps promting you to stay right or left. Then it recalculates to the next one until you eventually do get to your exit. All in all I'm happy with this GPS. Of course when you wear polarized sunglasses you will see dark bands on the screen. But that is just the nature of polarization and LCD screens. It doesn't really interfere with it. You can still see the screen clearky enough.

I've reached a point of total frustration with Garmin products. You can read my review of the 265T that shows the beginning of my frustration. I have owned a number of Garmin products over the years:
- eTrex Vista (still works like a charm)
- Forerunner 301 (sold to pay for my 305)
- Forerunner 305 (keeps on ticking)
- Street Pilot 330 (my son has it in his car)
- Nuvi 350 (my daughter has it in her car)
- Nuvi 265T (returned to Costco)
They all were consistently good to great - until the 265WT. The downward trend continues with the 785T.
Under three months of using the nuvi 265WT, I returned it to Costco. I've had the 785T for less than two months, and it is more frustrating than the 265T. It will be returned this weekend.
Some of the same issues that plague the 265WT affect the 785T as well:
1. Confounding Interface (same as the 265WT) - They moved the custom POI from the Favorites, down another level to EXTRAS. Why? In the 350, selecting Favorites gave a list of Recently Selected, Saved Favorites, and Custom POIs, if there were any installed. You now have to go to another level, on the second screen (page down) for EXTRAS, and the only extra is Custom POIs. Why?
2. Traffic (same as the 265WT) - The 265WT traffic was so bad, that when it was right (which was seldom) I got mad. I got the 785T knowing full well that the MSN Direct service, delivering the traffic, would end in 2011. No problem, because in my mind the 265WT traffic was so bad, I was not going to use the traffic on the 785T. Truth be told, it was pretty good the first few weeks. But, recently, it's gone all to hell. The reports are laughable - asking for a "Traffic On Route" will get traffic on roads I am not on and will not be going to! I was actually thinking of paying for the service and taking it until the bitter end - I don't think so ...
3. System Crashes - unfathomable ... I'll be looking at traffic on route, hit back twice to get to the map, and BANG ... the Nuvi crashes and restarts. Just what I want in the middle of my drive. This happens constantly.
4. Touch screen issues - Others have reported the issue around the touch screen. I have recalibrated my screen at least three times. I'll touch the lower right corner of the screen, and it will react as if I touched the lower left. I'll touch the Setting icon on the main screen and the STOP will react. I'll touch a character on the keyboard, and another character ON THE OTHER SIDE will come up. It's beyond frustrating.
5. SLOW SCREEN RE-PAINT - SLOW DIRECTIONS - I cannot believe how slow this device re-paints a screen, and the spoken directions always seem to be a step behind. The issue has been reported by others.
6. Bluetooth problems (shared with the 265WT) - if you setup a connection to your Bluetooth cell phone, but the phone is not in range when you turn on the GPS, you get a connection failure message (for example, I get in the car, start up the GPS, go back into the house to get something and come back out after the GPS has started). No problem. Menu dive DEEP into system settings to set up the connection. The GPS will lock up EVERYTIME. I have learned that I just do not turn on the GPS until I know my phone will stay in range.
7. Strange Direction Changes (shared with the 265WT) - In my review of the 265WT I detailed an issue with directions on my commute home. That very same issue exists for the 785T. On top of that, it will, on occasion, take me off a highway, only to bring me right back on. "Exit right, towards ... keep left onto the Garden State Parkway." What?!?
I feel like I've been burned twice in a row by Garmin. It seems as if they are chasing Tom Tom and not feeling vetting the new units in quality control. It's like they think that the fixes can be done after the sale with the firmware updates.
I'll repeat the same reasons for me NOT to contact Garmin support. If there was a problem that could not be fixed over the phone, they would want the unit for repair/replace. The problems:
1. I pay for shipping
2. I am out a GPS until they repair or replace
3. The replacement is almost ALWAYS a refurb - trade my brand new unit for a repaired? I don't think so
4. Word is that at least some of the issues I am suffering do not get fixed. Which again makes me wonder what the heck is Garmin up to.
5. Costco has a great return policy - no questions, 90 days. If I exchange it, I get a new unit, or I can return it for a full refund.
Which is what I will do again - get a refund.
Sad, but I think I am at the end of the road for Garmin products.
