I just got this GPS for Christmas. I"ve had a few Garmin's in the past,
including the 350 and 650.
I must say that even though I like the traffic feature and the display
shows more detail then my older 350, the unit otherwise sucks.
For example, searching for POI's are slower than with my Nuvi 350.
There is a long noticable lag between keystrokes when entering address
information. My unit randomly locks up. I have some other maps on my SD
card and some of them cause the 765T to lock up during the boot process.
These maps are CN Taiwan and CN Mexico. These maps work fine with my
350 and 650.
The calibration process is hard to get to and even with calibration, the
blue dot in diagnostic
mode likes to bounce around.
Any one else unhappy with their 7x5T?

My StreetPilot started randomly locking up after I updated the CN maps. I had
the latest firmware installed but I tried re-installing it and this seems to
have cured the problem completely.

Did you reinstall old firmware or just the new one? In any case, my
765T is going back for a replacement.
