GPS 4.3" Widescreen
George,
I just bought the kids and Mom Garmin Nuvi 760's and a 755T from http://www.tigergps.com New not REFURB!!!! The have a good online rating for sales and service. $249 delivered for the 760' and $299 for the 755T. They also have the huge 7" 7500 for $400. In stock and shipped. I did lots of surfing for info and the 760's are rated 5 5tars, and the 755T is the same with life time traffic service. Sorry I just went to that web site and all the prices have gone up. Yesterday was Cyber Monday, stuff was on sale. The 760's ars nor $269.00 with free shipping still a good deal.
