Your Garmin 760 also offers an FM radio function so that you can receive the latest real-time traffic reports that can help you avoid congested traffic areas in the urban world. Every piece of the data that you need to enter in the unit is easily reached on the touch screen so the package is manageable with clean lines and a smooth ball socket build.

The Nuvi 760 is also a good tool to use if you experience trouble remembering where you have parked in a large city or parking garage.
