The Garmin Nüvi 765 Europe comes with European maps. It plans routes calculated accurately and quickly, if you go the wrong way.
It is easy to mount to the screen, and it is also dash mountable for those who do not, the view from the window remains unclear. It is easy to program and the menu is intuitive.
The SA nav screen and the graphics card are quite small, but the contrast of colours and shapes is good and it is clearly appreciated. However, we found that the voice of a trend, a little, when it makes the letters had been hissing, b, c, and for soft.
The nüvi 765 Europe are clear and timely audio directions and radar warning, and tells you when to recalculate the route. How do you get at the end of your trip, it specifies which side is the way the goal.
It comes with traffic avoidance as standard, with a Traffic Message Channel (TMC) antenna designed to power to lead. A green, yellow or red light shows, depending on how busy is the traffic ahead. If it s red, you get the estimated duration of the delay.
Garmin may not have the ubiquitous branding of TomTom here in Europe, but the company actually longer in the navigation business for a few years. His experience is in the solid construction and careful design of its products on hand. This applies above all to the nüvi 765T, which released an update for the nüvi 760, we found ourselves at the beginning of the year.
First, the Garmin 765 marks have jumped to the Lane Assistant moving train. The corner graphic shows your next turn shows quite clearly which way you should on a multilane roadway. But Garmin has now also a new trend realistic full lane graphic for more clearly where your car should be placed on the street.
We did not find it quite as much as dipped version of TomTom, as found in the GO 530 and 930, but it is still very helpful.
The 765 also sports 3D graphics allegedly building with City Navigator Europe NT 2009 3D database. However, since the implementation of the Navman S30 3D, this does not prevent the sights to be sufficiently useful. In fact, we have not come across any 3D landmarks during the test. A final innovation is the ability to navigate to geotagged images that have been introduced into the device.
So the updates are no major, but then the 760T has a feature packed model. The price includes full European maps and these are the 2009 edition of City Navigator Europe NT from Navteq, so are the latest currently available. Since this is the T version, also contains a built in traffic updates via RDS TMC, with a lifetime subscription. This information is useful staining in the vicinity of roads blocked in red, so you are easily avoided with a little icon showing expected traffic delay on your current route.
However, the Garmin s best feature of all is how easy it is to operate. Navman interface does the work, but can be overloaded, while TomTom packs a lot, but not in the aesthetic and the menu system can be very complicated. Garmin has created on the other hand, a simple but effective view of streets and roads are to be clearly distinguished. Onscreen clutter is kept to a minimum; with the messages appear only when needed.
Some of the best things about this device are the clear audible and visual prompted to provide accurate and informative traffic information.
