    I've got the 760, but I won't buy from truck stop, to pricy there, got mine from Fry's electronics in Vegas, much cheaper

    I'm in the market for a new GPS. I was leaning towards the TND730, but have heard complaints about it locking up. I think I'll wait a little longer and get this Garmin when it hits the shelf.

    Has anyone heard about any new features this one has over the 760?

    Better speakers, glass screen instead of plastic, uses real voice technology, adds icon to turns ie turn left at McDonald's, something about foursquare. Not much else they can do. Oh includes free HD traffic n weather that's a uograde. Just need some bloggers to get some units and give us a better review.

    If anyone gets one ... I have the 760 DEZL. My only complaint is if I'm going through a small town on US 87 for instance, and I'm supposed to turn north on US 83, it's telling me to "Turn right on First Street" instead of perhaps "TR on First Street (US 83)" This is helpful for when there are detours prior. They talk in terms of highway numbers, not street names. Besides, who wants to look for "First Street" when it's much easier to follow the appropriate highway signs?

    If they have not added this, I have no use for a backup camera option and to be separated from more cash.

    Well if they don't maybe with that added real directions it'll be less confusing. For instance let's there's a Starbucks on that corner it'll say turn left at starbucks. Garmin Real Directions™: http://youtu.be/R6RGl_-EyY8

    Only complaint I have is, in Nebraska on I 80, there's a stretch of about 80 miles, it tells me I'm on a weight restricted route, I've called Garmin, and they said there's no issue with their system, and there's nothing they can do

    Other gps have that issue. Its the state or federal snafu on weight for some reason.
