Upgrade from c530 advice

 

I've had my c530 for almost 2 years now and I'm looking to upgrade. Sam's Club has a nuvi 750 for $299. This seems like a pretty good deal. The features look like it would make a good upgrade. I like the ability to create routes with multiple waypoints. I'm not really looking for anything Bluetooth compatible. What I guess I'm asking is, would the 750 be a good upgrade from the c530? Is there any other unit I should be looking at that has more features for the money. I really like the price point of the 750 at Sam's. Thanks!

P.S. - If I buy a new unit that doesn't have the 2009 maps already preloaded, would I qualify for a free update?

You can get the NT2009 for free.

I found the 750 to be a great buy at HSN at 299.99. Its a great upgrade from the 250w with zero tech problems.

Good choice

If I were to upgrade my c530 today, I would be buying the Nuvi 750. Being able to add up to 10 waypoints to a route is key for me.

I really like my 750, and many of the FM receiver attachments from older models are compatible. Check the model of the FM traffic receiver that came with your old unit to see if it is compatible.

Unless I misunderstood you which is possible after a long day at work,
The 7xx model will hold ten different Routes and not ten waypoints to a route. Now I’m not sure to how many waypoints to a route it will hold as I never tested it. But I know you can store ten different routes.
