Garmin - Nuvi 775T

Navigation Systems now have a new standard to reach to – that set by the new Garmin Nuvi 775T. With traffic updates and accurate navigational tools, the Nuvi series was always a force to reckon with. However, this new model incorporates some very fancy but extremely useful technological features.

The first useful feature in the Nuvi 775T is the free lifetime traffic offer. While most Garmin Nuvi models had a subscription offer for traffic updates the new model now boasts of a free lifetime subscription for traffic updates and details. This is being made possible by advertisements that appear on your device. And before you slap your forehand and say ‘No more ads!’ you should know how unobtrusive and infrequent the ads really are. And if they let you get free lifetime traffic relays, why not at least consider it? The next useful feature in the Nuvi 775T is the Lane Assist function. Have you ever felt the need for some urgent advice when you are on a highway and need to know which exit to take? Lane Assist will help you in such and similar situations. While approaching unfamiliar intersections or ramp exits, Lane Assist will make your life that much easier by pointing out to you exactly which lane you have to get into.

Features

Though the Nuvi 775T carries forward the same powerful navigational system of its predecessors, there are some nice touches. For example the Route Optimizer will allow you to indicate if you have multiple stops to make on way to your destination and if so, will immediately calculate the optimum route to get there while completing all the stops on the way. So if you have to drop a child to school, pick up laundry and get to office, let the Nuvi 775T do all the planning for you. Plus it now takes the Nuvi 775T a lot less time to calculate or recalculate the routes. This is very timesaving, especially when you are planning for long road trips. And finally, the system does contain voice-prompted navigation facility but with the added facility of choosing the voice that you like from a given set of voices!

Another interesting feature that you may see more often in future Nuvi models are three-dimensional images of nearby buildings. The Nuvi 775T shows you a view of what the outside buildings are right on your device, helping you orient yourself a little faster.

The Nuvi 775T comes with a fairly large database of detailed street maps for US, Canada, Puerto Rico and Europe. You can get updated maps and more information from their website.

Of course, the Nuvi 775T continues to provide the popular hands-free calling feature. Since the device comes integrated with the Bluetooth technology, making a hands-free call is simplicity itself, when used with a compatible Bluetooth cellphone. Dial the number, connect and start speaking – absolutely hands-free. Pairing these two devices is also fairly simple and does not need any extensive use of the manual.

Pick the Nuvi 775T if you are looking to drive without having to worry about taking wrong turns or about traffic delays.
