Hi,
I bought a Garmin nuvi 760 just over a week ago, and thus far I'm very impressed with it. In the brief time I've owned it, I've taken it to Melbourne and found that it guided me very succesfully around the northern and southern suburbs, and to and from the airport. I have another trip to the Queensland east coast this week-end and have already programmed it with the required routes and destinations.
It operates with a "Whereis" based application which is 2008 series. I did find it missing some streets, and some house numbers, in some of the locations I visited, but I was still able to reach the required destination. I have one free update available to me, next month I think, and then pay for subsquent updates.
If you don't follow the directions precisely, it recalculates and tries to put you back on course. Some of the u-turn points it identified on the Hume Freeway were suspect, as they were emergency vehicle use only. Overall, and even though I'm very comfortable with the Melways, I was impressed and will continue to use it as much as possible. I also like the bluetooth link with my mobile.
Cheers,
Graeme
