The editors liked

  • Well made. Clear screen graphics. Good value
  • To call this userfriendly would be an understatement. Vibrant touchscreen.
  • What exactly is wrong with reversing up the motorway when you’ve missed an exit? Now Garmin has jumped on this perfectly innocent manoeuvre as though it’s something shameful
  • With new motorway lane graphics that make negotiating exits as tedio...
  • TMC included

The editors didn't like

  • Too many 3D images. Underwhelming aesthetics
  • Cluttering the screen with 3D landmarks doesn’t actually make urban driving any easier
  • Especially in historic city centres cluttered with windy roads and ‘quaint’ buildings. While satellite lock on and initial route calculations are fas...
  • Windscreen mount fit not as snug as TomTom Min specs

  • Old-fashioned design

  • To call this userfriendly would be an understatement. Vibrant touchscreen.
  • Too many 3D images. Underwhelming aesthetics
  • It's got the brains. It's got the brawn. (Luckily the Garmin nuvi 765t doesn't need the looks). Now let's make lots of money....

  • A decent enough mid-range unit thanks to its comprehensive new Euro maps, but the Garmin’s graphical gimmicks can actually make driving more difficult. Shop around for the previous 760t model to save yourself 50 quid - and some navigational headache...

  • There’s little wrong with the Garmin Nuvi 765T, but the TomTom 730 still aces it for general useability ...

  • Geo-tagged image support; customisable points of interest; text-to-speech conversion; HotFix technology
  • Old-fashioned design; fiddly FM transmitter set-up; distracting motorway lane guidance and 3D landmarks; sluggish reroute calculations; occasionally insufficient volume
  • Appearance-wise, the Garmin nuvi 765T is almost identical to last year's nuvi 760. It's only when you look beneath the surface that you can see where modern features have been included, such as the motorway lane guidance, road-speed warnings, 3D landm...

  • Abstract:  With so many GPS receivers on the market, one can become quite overwhelmed when trying to make a decision when shopping for navigational help. Just how much do you need from the device, and what do you want it to do for you? How much do you want to spe...

  • Free ad-supported traffic updates are very useful. EcoRoutes software allows drivers to plan fuel efficient routes and track fuel economy. The Nuvi 765T features fast routing and recalculation. Bluetooth hands-free and audio streaming greatly increase ...
  • FM traffic doesnt work without the power cord and cradle, slightly limiting vehicle-to-vehicle portability.
  • The Garmin Nuvi 765T packs a number of useful features into an easy-to-use package and its ad-supported traffic updates are quite useful--plus, the ads themselves are quite unobtrusive.
