My biased opinion – I am in love with my nuvi 780. It does everything I expected, and overachieves in so many areas.

There are very few flaws that I have experienced with the device. For example, the nuvi thinks that I live on the opposite side of my street. It also directs me about a block short when going to my girlfriend’s house (my girlfriend lives in the boonies, so that’s understandable). These are extremely minor glitches to me, especially compared with the accuracy of other directions provided and having phone numbers listed with each of the Points of Interest. The amount of POI’s is ridiculously vast; you will be able to find EVERYTHING on a whim with this GPS. Regarding the bluetooth, I’ve only had one short conversation so far; it worked much better than I was expecting, but the whole wireless call thing still feels a little awkward to me. An added bonus, that few have mentioned, addresses can be sent wirelessly and saved to the GPS thru the Bing (just google “Bing”) search engine.

I do have several issues with the MSN direct service tho. The stock feeds are a joke; I have experienced updates as little as once per day (or less), even in the city. Also, you can’t add most stocks onto the feed – you’re limited to barely more than the DOW 30. The gas prices seem to always be a day or two behind. The traffic updates are useless – they tell you when you’re in traffic, wow! On the other hand, I do like the weather forecasts and movie times thru the MSN service very much. The news feeds are kind of nice to have, but they’re very broad and updated rarely. I probably wouldn’t spend the money on the MSN service if it wasn’t free.

Overall, I’m very pleased with my GPS. It’s the best, most helpful gadget I’ve bought in a long time. Highly recommend, 4.75 stars!!!
