Getting ready to buy one, making our two month trip to Utah and visit with our son and family. First trip for our new 5th wheeler and will be taking the grandkids to some National Parks, figured it was time for a new GPS. The reviews seen good on the 760 as do the options.....Need to know what you guys/gals think about it...Thanks, Jim

We've used one for a little over two years, now. It has worked well except for one occasion... In central Texas last year, it turned a 1-hour trip into almost three - and wanted us to drive "off-road" the last few miles to get to our destination. I've since learned to use the Routes function and look closely at how it's going to route us. Since it usually offers several choices, it gives me more control, anyway, and we've not had any more problems. No GPS is 100% fool-proof, though, and - even if you enter the parameters for your rig - you still need to be aware of low bridges and overpasses and double-check your routes.Rob

We've had one for about a year. It works well, but has been discontinued but is still available for sale and the price has dropped somewhat.I specifically wanted a GPS where you could drag and drop on screen to change the route as you were travelling. We often want to go along less travelled routes and the GPS tends to put you on 4 lane highways, even when you exclude interstates. I called Garmin last July to specifically ask them about this and they said no GPS by any company had that feature. So we went ahead and orderd the 760 LMT. Then, just a few months later, they discontinue making the 760LMT (although it is still available for sale) and come out with the 660LMT, which does have the route changing ability, has a slightly smaller screen and costs less.All that said, our 760LMT has worked pretty well, and we like the traffic feature and the visual of what an exit looks like for when we do have to travel on interstates or in congested areas. Also very handy are the visual displays of what gas stations, restaraunts, etc. are available in each subsequent upcoming town.

Just got a 660 after I dropped my garmin trucker gps on the floor - love it I particularly like the constant display for rest areas and truck stopsSearch around on line I got mine for $299 from the GPS store

You'll find more posts if you just search '760lmt'Mine's ok, but it has a habit of taking me on circuitous routes in cities just to get to a place a half-block down the road.
