Nuvi 760 vs Nuvi 780

 

I just went to the Garmin web site and did a comparison of the Nuvi 760 and the Nuvi 780. They did not identify a single difference between these two units for the >$100 MSRP difference. What is the difference between these two units?

Thank you

Yep. That is about it. I got

Yep. That is about it. I got the 760 and bought the MSN. It seems the models ending in "80" come with MSN. I got the 760 and bought the years worth of MSN for $124.99, used the 10% discount I got from Garmin when I registered my 760, and purchased another 6 months of MSN for $9.99.

Pretty much. The 760 comes with the TMC Traffic and the 780 comes with the MSN Direct.
