“so…so..” 2010-01-27
By RedStorm (Alpha Centauri, Milky Way)
I had an older model C550 which I thought has a better interface than this one. For one thing, this device has a sluggish user interface. It does not respond as fast as I would have expected. The older model did a much better job.

The other thing I don’t like about this is the keyboard is buggy. When I type a letter, it enters a letter that is no where near the keyboard letter I typed. Very strange and very annoying when you are trying to type something in a hurry.

The map and GPS function however works just fine, but I am too annoyed with the other features as I use them frequently to like this product. Thinking about returning this buggy product.

“Dim, Weak, & Goofy Design” 2010-01-17
By Fan of Frost (Wyoming)
This is/was my 6th GPS. It falls short in EVERY regard, except having big screen, sexy black housing, and including European maps. This is in comparison to my Magellan Roadmate 2000, which cost less than half as much 3 years ago:

The audio from the Nuvi 775T set at the loudest setting, is softer that the audio from my Magellan Roadmate 2000 at the softest setting. That would be great in the baby’s room, but it doesn’t work in a car, let alone a truck.

The screen brightness of the Nuvi 775T at its brightest setting, is dimmer than my Magellan Roadmate 2000 at the dimmest setting. The display works well at night, but the dim backlight and VERY limited vertical viewing angle makes it generally unreadable in common mid-day operating conditions. (even for those with young eyes)

As many others have said, the FM transmitter is so weak as to be virtually useless. There is also a firmware bug that makes the transmitter shut off permanently, after a conducting a bluetooth telephone call while playing mp3s. The FM transmission stops, and the transmitter feature disappear from the menu options. This problem requires a hard reset to recover.

Speaking of hard resets: Besides being poorly designed, the OS & user interface of the 2+ year old Nuvi 775T are still full of bugs that cause or require system resets. This occurred 7 times in my first 24 hours of use; That is more than occurred in 3 years with my next most recent GPS.

There are other design shortfalls, but they matter little. The manner of street display and lack of proper routing functionality would make the unit only marginally useful, even if the above problems did not exist. It is so sad to see such a poor product from a company that was once the leader in consumer GPS products.

“Stay away from this product!” 2010-01-02
By M. Ejovwo-Ottoh
I received the nuvi 775T on 12/21/09, and was very excited. My excitement began to deplete when I first noticed that the unit took too long to recalculate, sometimes up to a minute and half. After recalculating, it stats giving wrong directions and wrong street names. What was left of my excitement was crushed, when 2 days later (01/02/10), it was giving me direction, with a wrong street name (It was instructing me to make a right turn from “Flatbush Avenue” into “Kings Plaza”, there’s nothing like “Kings Plaza” street or avenue, the street name is “Avenue U”). I was already getting upset, and when I made the right turn into Avenue U, the unit simply shut down. Not sure what to do with this unit now, and from what I’ve read, garmin customer service is just as terrible as this unit.

“Must Have for Navigating US and Europe” 2009-12-31
By Larry C. Butler
My wife and I have used this product in Hawaii, Berlin, Dresden, Vienna and Budapest. It can be a life saver, when navigating small towns and hard-to-find locations. The only draw back to the product is the inability to get to the main menu from menu options e.g. one must push back, back, back to get to the main menu…

“Excellent directions and perfect for travel to Europe!” 2009-12-29
By Julie Bayon (California)
I recently purchased the Garmin 775T before I ventured off to drive in Ireland and it was a life saver. The directions were clear and the navigator gave plenty of notice before I had to turn. I found the user interface to be quite intuitive and on par with other Garmin units I have used in the past. It only comes with a car charger, but the charge lasts for at least a couple of hours of use (at full charge) when out of the car. If you need to walk around with this unit, you may need to purchase a wall charger.

Although there are many different units to choose from, this was the only one that worked (out of the box) in Europe as well as the US (with all of the features I wanted). I have GPS in my car (in the US) and have used several other units over the years, but the Garmin 775T is by far the best nav system I have ever used.
