Multi-Destination Routing
Garmin's nüvis pack top of the
line features into a slim form
factor.
This lets you enter several spots into the
Wider screen lets you see more of what's around. Compare these actual size views of a 3-
device (day care - supermarket-cleaners - inch (diagonal) screen
office - day care, for example) and it will plot the fastest route. And once you've
found the best router, the "Route Planning" feature lets you save up to 10 different
routes, Garmin touts the feature for providing, "the most efficient route for errands,
deliveries and sales calls." The feature also makes this an instant essential
accessory for anyone who shops garage sales (you know what we're talking
about).
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.
Where Am I? Where's My Car?
The nüvi 700 series is the first to answer two common questions: "Where am I?"
and "Where’s my car?"

2. and a 4.3-inch diagonal widescreen
At any time, with a single tap of the screen, drivers can display their exact latitude
and longitude coordinates, the nearest address and intersection, and the closest
hospitals, police stations and gas stations. And to help drivers find their car in an
unfamiliar spot or vast parking lot, the nüvis in the 700 series automatically mark
the position in which they were last removed from the mount.
See Better, See More
The super-bright, 4.3-inch (diagonal) touchscreen display gives is anti-glare for
ease of viewing during the day and automatically changes its color profile for easy
viewing at night or in dim light. It offers 2d or 3D perspective views.
The widescreen format gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch
screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you
are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM,
gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good
idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more
widely spaced and somewhat easier to push.
First Rate Map Data
The nüvi 780 is preloaded with highly detailed City Navigator NT road maps for the entire United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. This map database features nearly
six million points of interest (POIs), including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in
premium-quality mapping.
Hands-Free Calling
In more and more places, it is becoming illegal to use cell phones while driving without a hands-free kit. The nüvi 780's Bluetooth capability, microphone and speaker
lets match it to any bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nüvi's touch screen keypad to make a call
on a compatible phone. To answer an incoming call, just tap the screen and speak into the built-in microphone. Making and taking calls on the road has never been
easier, or safer. In addition, Garmin makes it a breeze to look-up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or even tap into your cell phone's call history
log.
Garmin Lock
Garmin's patent pending theft prevention system that disables the unit from performing any functions until the user types in a specific 4-digit PIN or takes the unit to a
predetermined secure location
Easy To Use Interface
Garmin's interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter
or search for destinations and get data about your trip.

Garmin has also added the ability for customers to add custom points of interest (POI’s) from third parties such as school zones and safety cameras.

3. Trick Your GPS Ride
Like all nüvis, the 780 supports configurable vehicle icons. These fun, customized car-shaped
icons come in a variety of colors to add a personal touch to your vehicle's position on the map.
With this GPS system on board you'll be prepared to steer clear of traffic with the integrated
FM TMC traffic receiver. The nüvi is designed to receive alerts about traffic tie-ups and road
construction that might lie ahead on your route. All you have to do is simply touch the screen to
view traffic details and you'll be ready to detour around any problem area. And if you end up
missing a turn, or you're forced into a detour that is not relayed through the traffic receiver, the
Custom vehicle icons let you ride in style, at least inside your GPS.
