I have the Nav730 which ALSO includes text-to-speech just like the 740 - they both do. The main differences are the screen and the POI entries. I really like the 730. You can get it at FRY's for $139. Mine worked right out of the box and guided me home from Fry's - text-to-speech and all! It's well worth the money! Look around the web and you'll find a few hacks for it that increase its capabilities too.
