Garmin nuvi 770 review

Garmin_nuvi_770_front



The Garmin nuvi 770 is the nicest of Garmin's transatlantic navigators, with pre-loaded maps of North America and Europe.' As a member of the 700 series, it incorporates a number of features not found on the transatlantic nuvi 670:



  • Multi-destination routing


  • Automatic sorting of multiple destinations to provide an efficient route


  • Tracklog recording


  • Speed limit display for many interstates and highways


  • The newer internal antenna found on the nuvi 200 series


  • Automatic marking of your last position when the unit is turned off (to help you find your car in mega-mall parking lots)


  • A 'Where am I' safety feature that gives your current location,
    nearest address, nearest intersection, along with quick access to POIs
    for the nearest hospitals, police stations and gas stations




  • '...as with the 600s, you'll get a gorgeous widescreen display, text-to-speech functionality that gives spoken directions with real street names, an integrated FM traffic information receiver, an MP3 player, a photo viewer, and an FM transmitter that will play all the nüvi's audio, including voice prompts, MP3s, audio books, and more, directly through your vehicle's stereo system, but that, despite their impressive array of features, the 700s slip easily into a pocket...'






    From the official Garmin nuvi 770 web page:



    More maps and wide — there's simply more to see with nüvi 770. This
    personal travel assistant is packed with preloaded maps for North
    America and Europe, not to mention advanced navigation features, a
    widescreen display, an FM transmitter, hands-free calling, traffic
    alerts and more. Like the rest of the wide nüvi 700-series, its premium
    navigation capabilities, like route planning and a handy locator, give
    you peace of mind on the go.


    See More


    With nüvi 770's widescreen display, you'll always get the big
    picture. View map detail, driving directions, photos and more in
    bright, brilliant color. Its sunlight-readable, 4.3-inch display is
    easy to read — from any direction.


    Navigate With Ease


    nüvi 770 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City
    Navigator® NT street maps and millions of points of interest (POIs)
    such as hotels, restaurants, fuel stations, ATMs and more. Simply touch
    the color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with
    2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. It even announces the
    name of exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes off the
    road. In addition, nüvi 770 accepts custom points of interest,
    such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity
    alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs. The European version even includes
    a preloaded safety camera database containing the location of cameras
    for parts of Europe.


    Where Am I?


    Keep track of yourself and your car with nüvi 770. Just tap "Where
    Am I?" to find the closest hospitals, police stations, fuel stations,
    nearest address and intersection. Also see your exact latitude and
    longitude coordinates. nüvi 770 even remembers where you parked. It
    automatically marks your position when you remove it from the
    windshield mount, so you can navigate with nüvi on foot and find your
    way back to your vehicle. Perfect for unfamiliar spots and crowded lots
    such as amusement parks, stadiums and malls.


    Plan Ahead


    nüvi 770 includes advanced navigational features to take the worry
    out of traveling. With route planning you can save 10 routes, specify
    via points and preview simulated turns on the 770's wide screen. In
    addition, nüvi 770 automatically sorts multiple destinations to provide
    an efficient route for errands, deliveries or sales calls. It also
    displays speed limits for highways and Interstates. A trip log provides
    an electronic bread crumb trail of up to 10,000 points, so you can see
    where you've been on the map.


    Make Hands-free Calls


    Talk about worry-free driving. nüvi 770 integrates Bluetooth®
    wireless technology with a built-in microphone and speaker for
    hands-free calling. Just pair it with your compatible Bluetooth phone
    and talk hands-free through the 770 while staying focused on the road.
    Simply dial numbers with nüvi's touchscreen keypad to make a call. To
    answer calls, just tap the screen and speak directly into its built-in
    microphone.


    Avoid Traffic Tie-ups


    Steer clear of traffic
    with nüvi 770's integrated FM TMC traffic receiver. Receive alerts
    about traffic delays and road construction that lie ahead on your
    route. Next, simply touch nüvi's screen to view traffic details or
    detour around the problem area.


    Take It With You


    nüvi 770's high-sensitivity internal (non flip-up) antenna gives it
    a sleeker, thinner design than the nüvi 600-series, making it easy to
    slip in your pocket or purse. Its rechargeable lithium-ion battery
    makes it convenient for navigation by car or on foot.


    Go Beyond Navigation


    Navigation is just the beginning. nüvi 770 includes many ‘must have’
    entertainment and travel tools including MP3 player, audio book player
    (subscription to Audible.com required), JPEG picture viewer, currency
    converters and more. With nüvi 770's wireless FM transmitter¹ you can
    hear audio, including voice prompts, MP3s and audio books, through your
    vehicle's stereo. It also includes optional MSN® Direct and comes with
    Garmin Lock™, an anti-theft feature, and configurable vehicle icons
    that let you select car-shaped graphics to show your location on the
    map. Optional plug-in SD cards let you add additional features to
    enhance your travel experience including language' translation and detailed travel guides. Our SaversGuide® provides information on nearby merchants offering discounts to customize your nüvi whether you’re traveling or close to home.
