Will this Garmin have you make a U-turn when possible if you miss the road you were supposed to turn on rather than taking you in a big circle?

Yes. It will either have you do a U-turn or reroute you to the next street. It depends on the location.
772908
Yes I have missed the turn. The GPS 2797LMT will put you back on track. Fast and to the point.

It has done this for me on multiple occasions. I won't say it does so every time, but it usually does. Even if it doesn't, if you make a U-turn on your own, it will figure this out, and get you back on a route to your destination.

That, you have to check with Garmin support center ... But SD map has NO map update & it has NO junction view that displays upcoming junctions (only turn-by-turn instruction).

Yes, it does. You can also avoid toll roads, unpaved roads, U-turns, and enter in custom areas/roads to avoid.

Upon turning on the unit it will begin a bread crumb trail of where you go. If you want to return home it will show you on a map where you have been. If you set a way point at any time you can find your way back to that point. Just remember that if your electronics fail and you have no idea where you are you will be cooked!

No it does not. Just pull off the road a few feet and you lose the screen. I wanted that all so and called Garmin and they said there was no way of putting forest Service Roads into it.

No. You can go around a corner, but by using a curve rather than a sharp 90 degree turn. That's how I installed it and it's been working fine for the past 6 months.

As a genral GPS unit. It does give you a way back by reversing the route. I've never used it that way.

If you don't know your end point (usually your home is the starting and ending point), guess. You can always edit it later and have Garmin re-order it later. AFAIK the Garmin doesn't check off the stops you have made, it just tells you when you arrive by saying "make a U-turn". Odd, but that is the way it is. To see if there is a firmware update, plug your Garmin into your computer and use WebUpdater, but that really isn't going to change how Garmin uses multi-point routing. As far as map updates, there are up to 4 updates per year that one can download, but that isn't the reason (or main reason) Garmin routes you oddly at times. Garmin has been made aware of the problem and stated they are looking into it (which means absolutely nothing at the moment). If you go to gpsmagazine.com and look up the review for the 760 (not the 765) it gives a bit of detail on multi-point routing which may help you.

No, it does alert with an audible signal when you are getting ready to make a turn

Hi Wiliam. Yes. This model has the function you mention. It is very useful when you are driven and have to stop for some time whether short or long, then after reconnecting it will continue its directions to the location you chose before.

It does remember your destination. I found that if you end up turning the unit off because you made a stop, if you go to "view map" once the unit fires back on, the trip is still there.

No it does not. And the maps that come with it cannot be used to direct you to an address like a street GPS would.

Amen to the bell sound turn indicator.It is dead on one of the handiest features on any gps unit.All others should provide this feature.When the unit dings,you are exactly at your turn.

It does in certain situations. On GPS mode it will "pop" open another window to show the turn/exit as shown. Also if watching a movie it and using the gps it will do the same. However there is no setting for you to do this yourself.

That has never happened to me and I drive a semi.I would call Garmin about it as they have been very helpful to me when I have called.
