So, do you really need this 760 or should you buy something else?

Pros Easy to use, needs no computer to hook up, works out of the box!
Cons Can wash out in the sun, may lose the satellite signal!
Recommended it? Yes

The world of consumer electronics seems to move like the speed of light! I remember seeing a great cartoon of a customer standing in an electronics store having just purchased a brand new Model 5X unit. While he is standing there, a delivery man comes in with a handtruck stacked with cartons, as... Read full review »

I recieved one of these Magellan 760's for Christmas 2005 and have had almost a couple months to use it, so I thought I'd lend a review.

This is the second GPS unit that I've owned, the other that I have is a handheld Garmin GPSMAP 76S.

The Magellan 760 is GPS that is strictly... Read full review »

The 760 Fails To Deliver

Pros Decent UI, good road data for US, OK for Europe.
Cons Slow processor, device "hangs".
Recommended it? No

By way of background, I'm an analyst in the Location industry that includes GPS units like this. I've personally owned about 9 now for the purposes of truly evaluating them in real life use. I have reviewed a few of the here at epinions, and am consistently happier with my Garmin units than with... Read full review »

Cons Some database inaccuracy, Finding food or hotel by ICON not easy or friendly.
Recommended it? Yes

We purchased to Magellan 760 Christmas of 2005 because we are retiring and taking trips. Fumbling with and reading maps on the road especially when we need fast directions or redirections was not something we wanted to do on road trips in unfamiliar territory. The unit worked immediately and well,... Read full review »

Stay Away, Worse Customer Service in the Industrialized World

Pros Unit was small and none intrusive. Technically, unit had the capabilities for unlimited...
Cons Poor Customer Service Poor product line, its reliability/durability is very low Clueless...
Recommended it? No

Purchased a unit and within two months it was rebooting on its own every 3-5 minutes. Sent the unit in for repair and this is where my opinion of this company hit rock bottom. Right now I am a pretty peeved customer. I purchased a Magellan 360 in April 2007, by June the system had problems, it kept... Read full review »

Pros Size
Cons Quality, Customer Service, Windshield Mount. Everything else about it is poor
Recommended it? No

My experience with this product has been more and more frustrating each time I plug it in. Not often will I be so upset with a product that I regret ever buying it! This one takes the prize!!

Why did I buy it - Well I did like the clarity on the screen and its ease of use (when it works)... Read full review »

Pros It is easy to use when it is working.
Cons The unit can't satellites. The windshield attachment pops off frequently.
Recommended it? No

After owning this one for over a year, I can definitely say that I made a huge mistake buying this unit.

I bought it when I was moving from Connecticut to Florida. It worked great until I reached North Carolina when it lost track of the satellites. It stayed in this "Lost in Space" mode... Read full review »

Best Buy: "It locked up on you, didn't it?"

Pros Worked well for the first 8 months.
Cons Legendary for locking up on you.
Recommended it? No

We went back for more punishment after our Magellan RoadMate 700 burned up within the first year, and bought a 760 model (this time with insurance!!)

The 760 worked fine for about 8 months, then started locking up in the middle of a trip. Sometimes you could reset it OK, but most often it... Read full review »

Pros Easy to use interface
Cons Stopped functioning after 6 months Terrible customer support
Recommended it? No

I puchased a roadmate 760 which, after six months, suddenly stopped being able to locate the satellites...i.e., freezes in a given location. I looked on line and could not find a 800 customer support number. Even worse, to email tech support you have to sign in with the 15 digit serial number...an... Read full review »
