2. Garmin's new 700-series nuvi

The 700-series nuvis are the most feature-packed GPS units Garmin has released to date. All four 700-series models share the same bright 4.3-inch display, have a built-in FM transmitter for broadcasting audio through you car's stereo system, and use the same routing engine. The 750 lacks traffic and Bluetooth (although the traffic receiver can be purchased separately for the 750, if you want to add traffic at a later date), the 760 adds Bluetooth, the 770 has both North American and European maps installed, and the 780 adds MSN Direct for realtime traffic, weather, movie listings and more:
