Summary: Device is great, map has inaccuracies
Comment: After using this for about a month, overall I am pleased with my purchase. I use it much more often than I thought. I love how it shows you the estimated arrival time, which is great when you know there are several different routes to take to a place, but you are not sure which is fastest. It has also shown me better routes to places near my house that I had never thought of. User interface & features are great, I have no complaints about the device itself. The built-in MP3 player and bluetooth functionality is great. I love being able to see who is calling, and answer my phone without having to take the phone out of my pocket.
I am disappointed about the maps - the main thing you buy this for. It has incorrect locations for my house, and my office. When you encounter that, it makes you wonder how many other places are wrong. There are also some new roads around my house that opened around April 2008, and they are not included in the maps on the device (I have checked for updates, and mine came with the latest 2009 maps). I would like to get another one of these for my wife, but not with the current inaccurate and incomplete maps.

Summary: Works great right out of the box!
Comment: I did a great deal of research before picking the nuvi770 as my first GPS. It had all the "must have" features I was looking for with a few added (but not TOO many!) I tried it out and there were a few glitches that obviously cannot be avoided. I live in a fast growing area of Houston and streets are being connected all of the time, growing longer, and "suddenly" appearing.
I read the negative reviews here and I think that most could be fixed by studying the downloadable manual. I studied the manual as part of the purchase process and it really, really helped.
I shopped in the local stores and NO ONE could touch the price from Amazon, I ordered on Monday and they promised the GPS with free regular shipping by Tuesday of the next week...it was here Thursday afternoon! WOW!

Summary: Garmin 770 does the trick.
Comment: After just moving into a new area I figured it was best to buy a GPS unit for my wife since she is directionally challenged. After researching the different units and reading reviews we settled on the 770 and have found it to be extremely helpful and easy to use. My wife has no problems figuring out how to use it and keeps it with her all the time. I no longer get the phone call "I'm lost. How do I get home?" The only annoying feature is sometimes it takes an extremely long time acquiring satellites but once it connects, all is well.

Summary: Great in US - terrible in Italy
Comment: I purchased this Garmin nüvi 770 GPS Navigator and Personal Travel Assistant a month before my trip to Europe and tried it in Ohio after going to the Garmin site and installing all the upgrades - it worked really well and seemed to be easy to use. However, when I went to Italy - it was close to useless! It took forever to start up, would get us within 300 - 600 feet of an address but often the wrong road! It led us to a highway "entry point" that had been closed for 7 years - but the final straw was when at 4am on a cold, rainy dark morning it led us onto a highway going the wrong way!! I would suggest that you not buy this particular model if going to Italy!
