There's an FM transmitter. You pick an FM channel without a signal on your car stereo, usually at the lower end of the dial.The unit also has built-in speakers, so you don't *have* to connect to your car system if you don't want.

A simple iPod-type connector cable from the nuvi to your audio in port on the car audio

R. Montgomery is spot on. Just set an FM preset at whatever free frequency you end up with so you can EITHER use the built-in (rather tinny) speaker OR run it through your stereo speakers.

No. When you are using the Nuvi FM transmitter, all you will hear on your car speakers is the Garmin. It transmits on a changeable frequency that you set and match to your car radio. I believe the internal speaker on the Nuvi is muted when you have the transmiter turned on. You have the option of using the transmitter for your car speakers or using the speaker built in the 760.

So can you listen to a different channel on your stereo at the same time as you are using the FM transmitter? I'm just wondering on long trips, do you have to unhook the transmitter whenever you feel like listening to music on the radio?

I agree, but you have another option. Use the FM transmitter to send the Garmin audio to your car speakers but also use the Garmin to play your MP3's. That way you get music and directions sent through your radio. Works great.

I still drive a car with a tape deck. I bought a tape cartridge device from Radio Shack that connects the Garmin with the car's stereo system. I control the volume using the radio volume control.

There aren't any GPS units that you can hear through a helmet over the motor, traffic and wind noise. In helmet speakers are a must. Sena makes a great Bluetooth headset with high quality (for a motorcycle) speakers . The Sena mates well with the Garmin and will let you hear directions without any problems. The Sena solution will also let you listen to stereo music coming from the music player in the Garmin.

Normally, the Nuvi series come with 6 TTS (text-to-speech) voices (3 male, 3 female). If yours doesn't have these, you can download them for free on the Garmin website.

Hi, our GPS has Bluetooth built in which will connect with a BT headset (which we also sell) does your ear bud use Bluetooth?-Seth

There is no jack for an external speaker. I have a windshield on my bike, so can usually hear the GPS. At high speeds I may not understand what it says, but, will know to look at the screen for direction.

The Bluetooth connects to the phone as soon as you get in the car. (I don't have a BLUETOOTH button on my steering wheel) You have to click "Answer" on the screen when a call comes in As far as the steering wheel controls. In the SET UP menu there is a STEERING WHEEL CONTROL that you several different code options/configuration. It took me a few minutes to find the right one and they all work.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean.The two speakers are connected by a cable that is about 6ft long. (I don't remember the exact length so I may be wrong.) Once you turn on the bluetooth button that's located on the side of the speaker that has all the controls, you will then connect with your phone via bluetooth. You play music from your phone through your speakers without having to connect a cable from phone to speakers.I hope that helps.

When the phone is on and a bluetooth connection is made to the device(device must be tuned to FM station) if a call comes in on the phone it will ring thru the car's speakers and you can talk hands free after you push the answer button on the phone. When making a call once you start to dial the sound switches to the car speakers when call is answered you can talk hands free. When you disconnect the device switches back to the music source.

Worked great in my nuvi 40. Can't speak for the 760. It made a huge difference when traveling in Ireland. Set up the GPS coordinates for our hotels (most had no street number or address) and places we wanted to see. Drove right to them. Check with the 760 manual about using external maps.

The Bluetooth only works with phone calls. It does not allow music streaming from the Bluetooth enabled devices. The navigation provides basic turn by turn directions. It does not speak the street names. I hope the Information is helpful to you.

I cannot speak for every device or every Bluetooth stack implementation. Here is what I know from my own devices. I can connect my phone to both my standard Bluetooth headset I use while driving (Plantronics Voyager Legend) and my workout headset (Plantronics BackBeat FIT) at the same time. Music will only play out of the one I connected last. If the sound is coming out of my Legend, I can press a button on the FIT and have it transferred to the FIT, but it will not play out of both the FIT and the Legend, and I cannot switch back from the FIT to the Legend (should I want to) without turning off the FIT. I am sure this has something to do with the Bluetooth profiles for each device, but I am not a Bluetooth specialist, so I cannot provide any further details. I do not have any Bluetooth speakers (like a Jambox or a Pill or anything like that) so I do not know how it works in combination with those kinds of devices. Additionally, I do not have any other phones (besides my iPhone) to test this with. Those are my results. Your mileage may vary.

Yes, it's on the left side of the unit, near the top, and it's a 3.5mm stereo jack. You can play any stored audio files (music etc) which have been previously loaded to the internal memory or SD card which plugs into the side of the nuvi 765T. The music playback is paused when the GPS is speaking it's directions. The audio or driving directions can be played through headphones, or your car stereo, It is also possible to listen to high-quality audio through a A2DP wireless Bluetooth headset device if you so choose. The volume of the nav directions and music audio have separate adjustments, plus a master level control, all on the touch screen.

If the headsets are used as an intercom, nothing is connected to the motorcycle. On my BMW, I connected a SENA SM-10 so I can receive the bikes radio. The GPS has bluetooth so it will also transmit to the headsets. There is nothing that physically connects the headsets to the bike. If you need to charge the headsets battery, it can plug into a standard 12 volt receptacle (cigarette lighter) if the bike is equipped with one.

Sorry, I never tried setting my Nuvi for voice recognition. Whenever I had a problem I call the 1800 number for garmin and they were very helpful. H. Ramadan

Thanks so much for your advice! I drove myself nuts for several days trying to figure out how to attach the nuvi to the mount and your method plus a consumer-posted photo of the friction mount on Amazon finally did the trick. Garmin should be ashamed of itself for not providing directions.

I bought it for my wife. She loves the GPS but doesn't use the voice command. When talking to someone in the car, the GPS will join the conversation. Sorry I can't help with the voice command.
