I bought a refurbished nuvi 750 about 9 months ago and it still does work as of today(sort of).The gps does get me where i need to go but sometimes in not the best route.Sometimes this thing makes me take routes that seem to be longer in my opinion.It will take me to a destination just to take me a different way on the way home.Dont really understand that.I have it set to the fastest time and it has taken me a completely different route on the way home.If the way home is the fastest route,then why isnt the route there the same way??I have also found that if your driving 65mph down the highway,the gps does not warn you quick enough when you need to turn.Using the gps on 3d mode which most people do,i found to be very inaccurate with the pictures.My destination will be 1/4 mile earlier than expected or 1/4 mile farther down the road.Using it in 2d mode is a bit more accurate for visual purposes.
I do enjoy the mp3 player on this unit,however sometimes the music actually skips(yes i said skips).Even the voice on the gps unit will skip quite often making it impossible to understand what "Jack"(Garmins English male voice) is talking about.The gps will also reset itself back to the "default" setting of no voice at all which kinda makes me think that "Jack" went to sleep!!I also have been having problems with the gps freezing up from time to time especially when first turned on when the maps are loading.I have my gps set to where i have to punch in a security code before it can be used but most of the time,the gps will work without having to type in the code.What kind of security is that??The power cord they sent me i also think is defective.Sometimes you actually have to wiggle it around in the 12v power outlet to get it to work.The suction cup mount on this thing doesnt work very well in hot weather.After the gps has been sitting in the sun,the suction cup will lose suction and the gps will fall which has happened to me over 20 times which cant be good for the gps.This is probably typical for must suction mounts.
conclusion--this gps does get me where i need to go but with some problems.If it werent for the mp3 player on this unit i would have bought another brand for all the small little problems i have had with this thing.I will be returning it to Garmin here soon before the warranty runs out,since i cant stand listening to "Jack" trying to give me directions with a stuttering problem and since the security doesnt really work on it anyway.Plus with all the other small problems ive had.Maybe i should have bought new instead of refurbished?!!?Get more detail about Garmin nüvi 750 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator (Factory Refurbished).
