The 350 didnt survive the punch in the head :) One of the major selling points of the 760 was traffic and guess what... it hasnt worked once since I got it. Yes, the free account is active, yes I live and work within an area defined as maximum availability, yes I have left it for an entire day+ with clear view of the sky as suggested etc... no dice. Everything else works very well, it is quick (not from cold boot), accurate and easy to use. Save yourself the extra money for anything to do with MSN if you live and/or work in Ottawa Canada and get the same features in a cheaper unit.

I have had tom-tom and on my mind Garmin is much better. I like Garmin nuvi 760, it’s easy to use and have a lot of useful features. I have had tom-tom and on my mind Garmin is much better.
