The GPS technology has found many applications in modern living. We are all aware of how GPS has kept people from getting lost, helped in locating lost elderly and has afforded fishermen a bountiful catch. Many are not aware of what it contributes to the world of entertainment. The Raygun is a location based cell phone game based on the GPS technology. GeoCache is a global GPS based treasure hunt.

Be that as it may, navigating is still the best gift that GPS has brought us. Think about what GPS units can do. Garmin GPS units are devices that help people navigate anywhere in the world. Whether they are in cars, on foot or floating down the ocean, a Garmin GPS unit will show them the way. Not only does it offer accurate positions, it has also provided entertainment in the form of tunes and photos. The good news is it does not stop there. We can expect unique features from GPS sets in the future.

I was one of those people who relied on maps before going to an unfamiliar place. My husband on the other hand relies on his poor memory and instructions from other guys. Needless to say we are the stereotypical couple who argue while driving. Like most men, my husband hates asking for directions. Since we have been bringing our little boy with us on out of town trips, my husband decided to get a GPS for the car. He said that his new Garmin Nuvi 755 would solve our map problems.

The Garmin Nuvi is indeed much better than a map. We can actually enjoy the road trip because I do need to hold a map while my husband is driving. The Garmin GPS tells us where to pass. The screen is big and it is in 3D! We have avoided crowded streets and traffic. We saved so much time on the road and enjoy our stops more. The GPS is definitely a relief from navigating all our road trips.

Garmin takes navigation to a new level with this Nuvi model. The Garmin Nuvi 765t innovates with its lane assist feature. No more guessing which lane you need to be in to make an upcoming turn. Lane assist guides you to the correct lane for an approaching turn or exit, making unfamiliar intersections and exits easy to navigate. There are also improvements in animated transitions.

On the Nuvi 765t, every touch of a button that causes a transition to another screen is now animated. Scrolling through the large icons in the settings menu creates a smooth scrolling effect. The animation gives the Garmin Nuvi 765t a more refined look and feel. Admittedly, it slows you down a few milliseconds. Instead of going quickly to the next screen, the small amount of time it takes the 765T to load to the next screen will add up when you are drilling through the menu system.
