$340 for a Garmin?!!! What does it turn the car for you?!!

Big screen and voice recognition

#2, this does not have voice recognition. The new 800 series does. Also, customer reviews are pretty negative. Lot's of firmware problems. Hopefully Garmin will fix those eventually, but in the meantime, it's a lot of money for a GPS that seems to perform worse than those costing much less. This is a good price for this model compared to what's out there.

#3 you must be taking a few too many hits off Ben's wacky weed! You first say "it's a lot of money for a GPS taht seems to perform worse than those costing much less." So, I say ok I understand you point, but then you go off the burp deep end and say "This is a good price for this model compared to what's out there." Thereby completely contradicting your first statement you burp baconeer!

Looks nice, but a little pricey compared to units with smaller screens.

If you're looking to buy a Garmin but don't care about having the 5" screen and prefer to have all the features, go for the Nuvi 765T. It has everything this one has, plus 3D buildings/landmark display, mp3 player, voice recognition, etc. This unit has a 5" display and is compatible with Garmin's CityXplorer feature.

Oh and for those of you who are less fortunate like I, you will be charged tax!

#4, what part of "This is a good price for this model" can you NOT understand. Do a price search for this model and you will find out that this is a good price for it. GET IT? It doesn't mean that this GPS is good, or worth it. I had already addressed that. Try not to be so myopic. Duh.
