Garmin nuvi 750
The Garmin Nuvi 750 is part of Garmin's solid and reliable line of portable navigation systems, offering accurate routing, good design, and ease of use. The simple design and interface are very attractive, not to mention the excellent text-to-speech directions and accuracy of the routes. Another useful feature is "Where Am I?", which helps you pinpoint your position and nearby services in case of emergencies.
This silver, rectangular device is slim and lightweight at 4.8 inches wide by 3 inches high by 0.8 inch deep and 6.2 ounces. It's just slightly bigger than a deck of cards, so it's easy to travel with and transport between vehicles. Like the newer models, the Nuvi 750 features a wide 4.3-inch (diagonal) touch screen with a 480x272 pixel resolution and white backlight. Maps, text, and images look sharp on the display in any lighting conditions. The touch screen itself is responsive, and the menu icons are big enough that most users should be able to use without mistakes. Some may find the onscreen keyboard to be slightly cramped, but it's nice that you can choose between a QWERTY and ABC format. The overall interface and menu system are simple enough that you should be able to start using the Nuvi 750 right out of the box.
While you handle most of the device's operations via the touch screen, there are a few other controls and design elements on the Nuvi 750. The speaker and external antenna jack are located on the back. The left side holds a 3.5mm headphone jack and an SD expansion slot for loading additional maps or media files. There's a power/lock switch on top and a mini USB port on the bottom. The 750 comes packaged with a car charger, a USB cable, a vehicle mount (windshield and dash), and reference material. The car mount is simple and easy to install, and the cradle securely held the unit in place during our road tests.
Features:
Beyond navigation, the Garmin Nuvi 750 includes a Travel Kit like the other Nuvi models that consists of an MP3 player, an Audible book player, a JPEG picture viewer with a slide-show function, a world clock, currency and measurement converters, and a calculator. You can expand the device's capabilities with one of Garmin's three optional software packages.
The Garmin Nuvi 750 comes preloaded with City Navigator NT maps of North America and about 6 million points of interest (POI). Trip preparation can begin in a number of ways. You can enter a specific address, choose a POI, or select a location from the Recently Found or Favorites list. It's also nice to see that it supports multidestination routes, which was lacking in the Nuvi 660. Once you have your destination set, the system can generate directions by fastest time, shortest distance, or off road, and you can instruct it to avoid certain road types, such as toll roads and highways. There is also a detour function if you want to avoid a certain part of the given route and if you happen to get off track - the Nuvi 750 does automatic route recalculation. There are bicycle and pedestrian modes, so you're not restricted to using the device just in the car.
Maps are available in 2D and 3D view with day and night colors, and you can change it so north is always at the top of your screen or the direction in which you are driving. A plus and minus icon on the map screen allows you to zoom in and out, and there's also a trip information page that displays your speed, direction, trip time, and so forth. In addition to the visual aids, you get voice-guided, turn-by-turn directions with text-to-speech functionality. The Nuvi 750 also has a built-in FM transmitter so you can pipe the audio through your car's stereo for better volume.
The POI database contains all the major categories (gas stations, lodging, ATMs, restaurants by cuisine type, and so forth) and more specific ones, including golf courses, gyms, and night clubs. On top of the preloaded entries, you can add custom POIs, such as safety cameras and school zones. If you don't need guidance, you can just have the Nuvi track your movements by tapping View Map. The Nuvi 750 also has the recently added "Where am I?" feature, which gives you the coordinates of your location, the nearest address and intersection. It will also list the closest hospitals, police stations, and gas stations to your position, giving you a bit of peace of mind if you're in unfamiliar territory and need access to any of these services, or if you need to give your location to someone.
The Garmin Nuvi 750 is an excellent option for travelers who are looking for a user friendly, reliable GPS device.
