Garmin Nuvi 760 Review

Garmin Nuvi 760
The Garmin Nuvi 760 is a 4.3 inch widescreen bluetooth portable GPS automobile navigator that is packed with features to keep you on the right track when you travel.

The Garmin Nuvi 760 comes with two really great new features--multi-destination routing and "Where am I?/Where's my car?".

The Nuvi 700 series is the first to use this amazing feature. It works simply like this: with only a single tap to the screen, you can display your exact latitude and longitude coordinates, the nearest intersection and address, and the closest hospitals, police stations and gas stations. And also to help you find your car in an unfamiliar spot or a large parking lot, the Garmin Nuvi 760 automatically marks the spot that they were before being taken from the mount. Ingenious and very helpful!

As with what you would expect from the Garmin name, you get the Garmin reliability and durablility and you get the speedy satellite lock of an integrated and high-sensitivity receiver in a slim, pocket-sized design with a really beautiful display.

Operating the Garmin Nuvi 760 is a breeze with it's modern interface, and detailed NAVTEQ maps for the entire United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. IT comes jammed packed with more than 6 million name-searchable points of interest.


But it doesn't end there. This little wonder also comes with spoken directions in real street names, a handy MP3 player with great quality and a photo viewer as well as an FM transmitter that will play voice prompts, MP3s, audio books, and more.

An exciting new feature on the Nuvi 760 is what is called "Destination Routing".

With this you enter several locations into the device (library - grocery market -school - office, for example) and it will scope out and plan the quickest route. Once you have the best routes, the "Route Planning" feature allows you to save up to 10 different routes. This feature is great for the person on 'the go' and for the driver who wishes to save on gasoline.
