Garmin nüvi 760 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Automobile Navigator – Find Out More Garmin Nuvi 760 Review

The Nuvi 760 is currently the top selling portable GPS unit. Here we take a look at what makes it such a best seller. The Garmin Nuvi series have proved to be the most popular of all portable GPS navigator units. The Gramin nuvi 760 is no exception to this.

Top of the list when it comes to customer’s expectations are:

  • reliability
  • superior receiver operation to provide fast locking
  • handy pocket-sized design
  • high quality display with a straightforward and intuitive interface
  • The nuvi 760 has all these features. Add to this the superbly detailed NAVTEQ maps for the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico containing more than 6 million name-searchable points of interest and you have a top selling GPS product worthy of the name.

    Garmin Nuvi 760 What’s in the box:

  • nuvi 760
  • FM traffic receiver with vehicle power cable (GTM 20, FM TMC traffic receiver in North America)
  • Vehicle suction cup mount
  • USB cable
  • Dashboard disc
  • Quick start manual
  • The unit comes with an MP3 player and photo viewer, spoken directions with real street names, and an FM transmitter that will play voice prompts directly through the vehicle’s stereo system. The Garmin Nuvi 760 comes with integrated traffic receivers and Bluetooth capability for hands-free calling – features that aren’t available with all the Nuvi range.

    It comes with two features new to the Garmin range – Where Am I? And Where’s My Car? The user can with a tap of the screen display their exact location with respect to the nearest address and intersection, and the closest points of interest.

    Let’s look at the display now, the super-bright, 4.3-inch touchscreen anti-glare provides the best in the market performance for viewing during the day and in addition it automatically changes its color profile so that it can be easily viewed at night. The widescreen format provides you with seventy per cent more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen which is a surprising figure considering the apparently small increase in size. But this has a massive effect on the user experience.

    And here’s a grest feature to help drivers find their car in an unfamiliar location or a parking lot, the Nuvi 760 marks the position it was in when it was last removed from the mount. Apart from this, the Garmin Nuvi 760 GPS unit comes preloaded with highly detailed City Navigator NT road maps for the entire United States and Canada.

    Maybe one of the most useful new features in this, the best GPS product in the Garmin range is the hands-free calling capability. In more and more places, it is becoming illegal to use cell phones while driving without a hands-free kit. With Bluetooth capability, microphone and speaker, the Nuvi can communicate with any bluetooth-capable phone in order to make hands-free mobile phone calls. You just dial the number using the nüvi’s touch screen keypad to make a call on a bluetooth-compatible phone. If you want to answer an incoming call, you just tap the screen and speak into the built-in microphone.

    Last but not least, the Garmin Lock – the patent pending theft prevention system – disables the unit the user types in a specific 4-digit PIN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location.

    With its long list of features, easy to use interface and great display, the Garmin Nuvi 760 proves to be a worthwhile investment for anyone looking for a GPS unit.
