Gps navigation

I'm going to buy my wife a navigation unit for x-mas. I have it narrowed down to 3 Garmin's. I'm going Garmin because the spoken street names is easier for my wife to follow.

These are the 3 that I'm considering
nuvi 370
Pros: Its small, traffic update included, lowest price of the 3.
Cons: No multi-point navigation

nuvi 275T
Pros: Its small, traffic update included, more POI then 370,
Cons: No multi-point navigation.

nuvi 775T
Pros: traffic update included, multi-point navigation, lane change assistance.
Cons: Widescreen(might obstruct view), highest price of the 3.

Does anyone have any first hand knowledge on any of these units? If so, I would appreciate the input.

The 370 and 275t both have bluetooth. The 775t does not have bluetooth. But this isn't an issue because it wouldn't be used anyway. I'm looking for a good navigation unit. I don't care about MP3s, Fm transmitter or photo galleries. I know all of these navigators have them, but they are not being considered in my selection.

Thanks.

I've used a 370 a lot.

In a nutshell, it is soooo 2005.

One of the best units for the time - full Europe maps too! - but newer models should be better. Haven't used either of the ones you've mentioned, though (went Nokia).

Edit: multi-point navigation is a HUGE plus for some. Also, IMHO, you can never have too big a display - unless you want the unit to double for some hand-held uses.
