New and need suggestions.

First and foremost - thank you for your service!

Secondly, glad you're coming home soon!

Lastly, you're pretty much right on the mark with the nuvi 760 ... you can't go wrong with the nuvi line of GPSr's

Same here Thank you for serving our country and welcome home.

I hear the Nuvi 760 is a great unit.

Thank you and welcome home. The 760 is a great unit that includes bluetooth. If you don't need bluetooth the NUVI 750 is the same unit minus the bluetooth. You can pick up the 750 for about $100 less than the 760. Either unit would work great for you....

I have the 750 and think it is great.

I am guessing that the "r" in "GPSr" is for reciever? I am just looking for the best performance for the dollar. If there are any other suggestions from TOMTOM or someone else, just let me kno!

yes, "r" is for receiver.

and, no, I won't recommend anything but garmin. most people on this site (I did say most ;)for your TomTom or Magellan users), and most reviews in the magazines and online, agree that garmin is king!

First Welcome Home (once a Soldier Always a Soldier - ARMY STRONG) - In my opinion the GARMIN GPS systems are the best - Of course everyone has their own choice - I use the NUVI 350 simply because of the physical size - dosen't seem to get in my way when mounted to my side window (I drive a tour bus)- have a great day / stay safe / and watch your back

THANK YOU for your time and service, the 760 is a great bang for the buck, lots of great reviews on that line, garmin is the king, in units,service.

Please keep your head and butt wired and focused, (its hard to do ) with only a month to go , so PLEASE keep safe, come home safe and sound. may God bless you and your unit!

Just wanted to add my voice to the choir - THANK YOU for your service and sacrifices! Please pass this along to your buddies as well.

Good luck with your GPS choice.

Mike

I really like the c550. I got it off of walmart.com for about $240 with a 3 year warranty added on to it. I looked at it at best buy and they said the lowest price they could give me was $354 so technically i guess it is in the $300-400 price range ha.

THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE COUNTRY!!!!!!!! I'm glad people like you volunteer to go over there so wussies like me don't have to lol.

Thank you were everything you are doing in Iraq.I hope it ends soon so everyone can come home.

Thanks for keeping us safe back at home.

Have a question for you, the military issued GPSr, what brand are them?

The 760 is a fine unit and you will not be disappointed choosing Garmin; from the units they manufacture to their customer service they are an excellent company to do business with.

They are made by Rockwell Collins, which dont make auto GPS's, that I know of.

Also, another quick question. Does the nuvi 760 come with the MSN Direct capability?

I, too, would like to offer a hearty "THANK YOU!" for your service. Our men & women in uniform, and their families, don't hear it nearly often enough. My son is a career Army aviator currently stationed at Hunter AAF, near Savannah. He returned from Iraq a short while back. Who knows, perhaps you'll cross paths.

Good luck, son. Just because your tour's winding down, PLEASE don't become complacent. Stay alert.

Is this what you are referring to?

They came out with a commercial model but is not for car navigation.

Here is the info on the 760

My father-in-law is a tech for RC, and said several months ago that the military units (or similar) should be coming out in a dumbed down version.

Yes, thanks for serving and the Nuvi 760 is awesome.

I agree with Miki. Keep alert. My last night in Vietnam (way back before you were born) I got mortared. I came within a gnat's tinkle of getting zapped with a few hours to go in-country. Never let your guard down.

Well went ahead and pulled the trigger on the Nuvi 750. Couldnt see myself paying $100 more for bluetooth and a black finish. Hope I like it. Will be home in about a week. Thanks for all the kind words.

And yes, the GPS we use is the DAGR.

You could get the Nuvi 750 for $299 at Sams Club.
