Garmin Nuvi 760 |
The nuvi 760 is completely intuitive to use. It is the sort of unit that your wife would feel comfortable in using. The ability to assist with POIs is a decided advantage. I never knew that there were so many school zones around! |
The only one is the lack of satellite information. |

Compact, easy to use. Like phone features and large number of POIs that can be downloaded. Reading street names and incoming text messages is good. |
Route mapping can be erratic, particularly when traveling long distances. Fastest route option doesnt always take fastest route. Live in Melbourne and has a tendency to take you off the ring road and through streets with tram lines to connect with city link when traveling from the Hume to St Kilda for example. If you know roughly where you are going and insert a via point on a route to force the unit to recalculate you can often get it to give you an arrival time that is quicker than leaving the unit to find the fastest route on its own. |

Garmin Nuvi 310 |
Good navigation tool. Handy when walking as well as in the car. |
Good overall navigation tool but beware of setting the most appropriate default programming mode (Shortest Distance versus Fastest Route) can take you along some almost inacessible routes such as fire trails in rural areas if you set it to Shortest Distance. |

garmin nuvi 310 |
accurate, relatively easy to use, small and compact and fits easily into pocket, voice directions |
roads with numbers are shown and spoken by their number rather than their name which is annoying.
there was an original problem with bluetooth but a software patch fixed that.
on occasions when you turn on the device it has somehow forgotten the mobile phone it is paired with
hard to read the screen in daylight when driving with sunglasses on |

Seems to work very well. I like to use the Phone hands free through the FM radio. |
The quality of audio comming from the internial FM Transmitter seem a little muffeled. But this my be the fault of the quality of the mp3 files I have used. |

Stereo jack - great for listening to MP3s (through the cars stereo with aftermarket FM transmitter) while driving as the music cuts out for directions. |
