I'm looking to get a new GPS unit and I need Bluetooth Capabilities. The
Garmin Nuvi 780 sounds great, but the current price of $800 is a little
high. From reading around, it looks like I could buy a 760 and a MSN Direct
plug for it and the cost would be just under $600. So a $200 savings in
what would look to be the exact same features in the end. Is this true? I
haven't personally looked at either so I can only go by what I read.
I currently have a Street Pilot 2610 with 2 Gig Compact flash card and
Version 8 maps installed that I plan to sell off. Looks like new and works
great but need Bluetooth for when I'm on my Motorcycle, even though the
nuvi isn't waterproof, I have a solution for that minor problem. I like the
features it has over the Garmin's 530 Motorcycle ones for example. I also
have a good Bluetooth helmet headset.
Hi JB, please email me with this post.
