Anybody used the larger screen GPS - Nuvi 765 or something.

The 3.5" screens are too small for my old eyes without my bifocals on.  Anyone used a Nuvi 765T or similar model?

Have you tried a 4.3" screen?  I have an old Garmin nuvi 750 that works pretty good for the valk.

I don't look at it much - I just listen for the woman to tell me which way to go through the headphones.  Not much different than having the wife in the right hand seat.

Yes sir, the larger screen was what I was looking at.  The factory redone place that people posted about the other day has some Nuvi 765T's at a good price and I was wondering how they held up to vibration, etc.  Will look at the 750 - Thanks brother!

You don't need a GPS to discover America. You need a bike and you need the road, OK?

Hey brother, you know me....Mister Map....  

Never leave a Welcome Center without one....hahahaha.

I am asking because I thinking about putting one on the new Vstrom.  There are some places that I might take it where I start to think...."How do I get the he!! out of here?"    Not going to use it on the Valk.....Thinking that the GPS might show some "off roads" that might not be that clear on a map and in case I get in trouble - how to get back.......

That Woody post - now that is funny, don't care who ya are....

I use a ziploc samich bag over it in the rain.

That's what I used to waterproof my Nuvi 200 when I jury rigged the cradle to the riser bridge.

I just mounted a garmin 265WT  with a 4.3 or a 4.7 screen i'm not sure but is plenty big enough for my old eyes.  I got it thru a safety program at work. I purchased a mount from Semsons.com a ram unit it was 42 dollars and change shipping and all. This my first high tech guidance system but I'm pretty happy with it.

 just checked it's a 4.3 screen.
