Not a bad deal.... One of my criteria tho was to keep it under $200. So the 780 I think will work out well for me....

If the 7500 did Bluetooth it would be near-perfect.

And thanks from me as well. A good unit for the Sprinter, I'm expecting, as I'll be moving its GPS computer to another vehicle.

Another reason I liked the 780....

Looks like it's all set up for street navigation. Anyone know if this GPS will accept topo maps?

Yes....

Just for info, the "list " price on Amazon is exaggerated ( as is often the case on Amazon) - Garmin's site shows $599.95 list price when it was a current model, but it has been discontinued for a while...also the MSN Direct service it comes with will be completely discontinued 1/1/12, so it's a limited time, soon to be obsolete, feature.

It may still be an OK deal, but support for it will be limited, including new map products....

if you could find a Nuvi 255W (also wide screen) they are only 89 at Sam's/Wal Mart. That is what I have and with the updates, it is fairly accurate..

Yes, but 780 doesn't support backup-cam input.

Does it accept topo maps?

Yes....

Are you sure? I can't find confirmation of this.

From an Amazon review:

"I've had this for about a year now, I thought I'd add two notes. First, since a software update earlier this year (4.6 I think, now 4.8) the topo maps no longer work for me even installed in the units own memory. It will just lock up after a few seconds or minutes at most and needs to be power cycled, like it used to with the maps on the SD card."

Go here:

Then click where it says "Products" it will list all the Garmin GPS recievers that will load the topo map.....

kerry.... I hope that is specific to that one person's GPS.... Topos is one of the reasons I bought this unit....

I guess we'll see.....

I did read another post on the net from someone who had loaded the Eastern Topo maps on a Nuvi 780. The maps were in the GPS but it wasn't navigating correctly or with full function.
