Reviewing the Garmin Nvi 760
Posted in GPS Receivers by Jay Wooten on July 23rd, 2009 Do you sometimes find yourself getting lost, only to realize that you cannot make head or tail of the map you have? If you get lost frequently then the chances are that somebody has already advised you to get your hands on a decent GPS device. Well, that may have in fact been some of the best advice you’ve ever been given. Even people who don’t get lost very often can still benefit from owning a reliable GPS device such as the Garmin Nvi 760.
Apart from being a huge inconvenience, getting lost in a strange place can also be extremely dangerous under certain circumstances. Of course, with a GPS device one can at least have peace of mind in knowing that you can find your way around relatively easy.
One of the most noticeable things regarding the Garmin Nvi 760 is that not only does it look good, but it’s also incredibly easy to use. Thanks to its stylish looks, it can be mounted on the dashboard and rather than looking out of place, it will look trendy and fashionable. Even if you’ve never in your life used a GPS device, you should have absolutely no problem at all using the Garmin Nvi 760, considering that it’s been designed in such a way so that anyone can use it.
When one considers that you only need to type in the address of your destination in order to find out exactly how you should proceed from where you are, one cannot help noticing that you certainly don’t need to be some sort are a guru in order to use this device.
Some of the features include: preloaded city navigators, hands free Bluetooth wireless technology, 4.3 inch color touch screen, and a white backlight with 480 x272 pixels. Another noticeable feature of the Garmin Nvi 760 is that it displays the speed limits for many of the highways and roads you drive on.
This is a nice feature because the roads don’t always tell you, but you can’t explain that to the Police Officer when they stop you for speeding, now can you? With the Garmin Nvi 760 you have no more reason to not obey the speed limit.
Anyone who is considering purchasing one of these devices should also find some of the technical details rather interesting. These include a twelve channel receiver description, MP3 player capability, and an impressive map of North America. Furthermore, it has a remarkable five hour battery life.
As you may already know, the previous model was the 660 but you can be rest assured that the 760 has numerous features over and above those which were included with the previous model. One cannot deny that the 760 is a much better buy, irrespective of the fact that it’s slightly more expensive. After all, with so many additional features, one cannot expect otherwise. Furthermore, because this model has no antenna as such, it’s also easier to hook up to the cradle.
