Im torn between these two units, im leaning more to the 750 because of mp3 playback in addition to "where am i" feature. anybody own either of these units?

do you really need mp3 playback in a gps unit? i know i dont

All the stupid stuff they put on these GPS units. MP3 playback through the GPS speakers, can anyone say jammin?

Get the NUVI and have a GPS. Get the 750 and spend a bunch of money for stuff you'll never use. If you want MP3 playback, get an iPod.

yea the mp3 feature wasn't my main concern since i have a ipod, the things which i liked was the "where am i feature" which finds closest hospitals, police stations, fuel stations, nearest address and intersection even remembers where you parked. which the other unit doesnt have and i think is kind of important to know were things are like gas also Ability to add maps, FM transmitter which the 260w didnt.

FM transmitters don't work at all, and the Nuvi has the same thing it's just not named as such. I deal with these things every day, get the Garmin.

so the 260w can find gas stations and such? thats my biggest worry which i want. Also their both garmins and nuvi's btw Thanks for your input man
