Well worth the money
I spent ages in choosing my second device after my TomTomGO 300 failed following three years of heavy use.

I guess if you are on this page, you want a relatively advanced GPS as there are many machines which are cheaper and dont have the extras provided in 760 which has bluetooth handsfree, europe mapping, FM transmission (can transmit device sound to your car speakers when you choose same fm channel on both), wide screen, traffic services (lifetime subscription)
One can get a good garmin device for under 100 with UK maps and without added extras mentioned above (Garmin 200 is only £89 and appears very good)

now for these extras the main competition is with tomtom 720T as you may have found out already
both were priced near £220 when I compared

I looked at garmin 360t, 660t, 760 and TomTom 720T, last two being my final choices.

Glad I chose garmin 760 over tomtom 720T but both have good and bad points

the main issues in my view:

Garmin 760T: map accuracy greater, weight 176 grams, smaller (tomtom720T is 220gm, slightly bulkier)
garmin screen is not cluttered at all
But I definitely miss TomTom's screen display of distance and time to destination with a compass pointer, next turn in graphics like 2nd exit and other customizable bits that is lacking in garmin (760 only shows arrival time and next turn)

Not having a lot of info on Garmin's screen may make driving safe as you dont keep looking at it to check how far you are from your destination and what is your speed and comparing your speedometer with Satnav(speedo is less accurate than GPS devices)

Garmin only shows arrival time so no major reason to fix your stare on screen and this may be good for safe driving.
Nevertheless speed and distance details are available if you touch arrival time.

garmin's POI are great (much more accurate and useful than tomtom 720t)
its FM trransmitter can also transmit phone's sound (not in tomtom)
garmin's menu is a lot simpler and less cluttered than tomtom

garmin's traffic service also better than tomtom, but tomtom voice quality is superior and less synthetic and there are more choices. Even the speaker output is more in TomTom.

overall, both great but garmin is my choice for simpler menu, accurate maps and physical form but I feel none of them is a bad choice.
Good luck with your buy.

Great item, but warning over 'buy together' option
I have only had this satnav a short while, but have found it extremely straightforward to use and set up. Particularly the phone functions and FM transmitter.

On the phone functions there are a lot of neat tools, like being able to phone points of interest, such as restaurants and hotels. Also you can assign numbers to your favourite locations and phone them using the touch screen. The screen is excellent and the unit seems to pick up signal and recalculate routes very quickly.

One point against amazon though.... they offered this together with a leather carry case, which I went for only to discover an identical carry case was included in the Garmin box anyway...

Nuvi 760 replaces Road Angel 6000
The road angel got in to the habit of loosing its way, the second unit I had because the first failed within warrenty. This Nuvi is just fantastic in comparison, gets a fix in a few seconds and the traffic updates really work well to replan the route. I have done Portsmouth to Amersham return 10 times now and its taken me on 4 different routes based on traffic information. Scooting off the M25 earlier than the A3 junction because of delays takes me down m3 then sometimes the A32, delays confirmed by radio 2. Its mapping and use is better than Tom Toms, bluetooth hands free works almost instantly with my E90. Even sorts out the route the ferry should take to the Isle of Wight. Absoloutly the best sat nav I have seen to date.
