Hey everyone, first time posting
I bought the Garmin Nuvi 760 GPS from Costco about a month ago. I paid $329.99 for it, and at the time Best buy had it in black for $499. It still sells for $429.95 at FS. I didn't see any posts on RFD about this GPs but I think its a pretty good deal.
If you are looking for a GPS with MP3 playback and Bluetooth wireless technology, with a built in FM transmitter and lots of other goodies, check this one out and save yourself $100. I don't know if you can price match it with FS since the one they sell is silver, but it is still the same model number so you could always give it a try and save another $25.

How does the traffic feature on the 760 compare to the "free lifetime" traffic on the 265WT?

Traffic services available only in select cities where RDS-TMC coverage exists. Requires TMC traffic subscription to enable traffic capability.

Nope... The Bluetooth is only for syncing with your phone for handsfree calling... However it does sync with your contacts while in use ...

Glad this post helped someone even though the Garmin Nuvi 760 was already posted elsewhere. Enjoy it, its a pretty good GPS and works well with my cellphone. You make calls, see your contact list, read sent and received messages and even compose text message. I don't recommend doing this while driving though lol. If you are going to use this with your phone for calls, make sure you have the sound playing out of your car speakers, either by direct cable connection if you have a 3.5mm auxilary port in your car, or by using the built in FM transmitter that the unit has.
I tried using bluetooth for handsfree with the built in speaker, but the person on the other end hears an echo because the loudspeaker on the unit is on the back and the mic is on the fron face on each side. Just a little tip when using it a bluetooth handsfree.
