Besides the great improvement in the design compared to the nüvi 600-series, the extra route function is somewhat more interesting then mentioned in the review. Now you can download or create your own (touristic) route and add up to 99 'via points' in your current route. You can change these extra points in whatever way you like or let the nüvi recalculate it into the most efficient route.
Besides the fact that map display is improved compared to the 600-series and (finally!) there's also a QWERTY function!
The 'where am I' position is also new and quite nice, and (at least in Europe) we can now see the current speed limit on the road you're driving on. This also wans't available on the other nüvi's.
It also has a 'last position' function, where it will automatically remember the last position where it's taken out of the car (so you can always find your car back). This function can help a lot of people! ;-)
Add that to the fact that every 700 model has a built in FM transmitter and traffic receiver, I think it's worth a try! !

What a minimalistic review...
