The Garmin Nuvi 780 is justly one of the most coveted portable GPS devices available today. It is not difficult to understand this. The device is so small that it can conveniently be carried in a pocket. A suction cup can also be used to attach the device to your automobile’s dashboard or windscreen. Once you’ve reached your destination, you have only to remove the device from its mount, and the 780 remembers the location where you have parked. This is very useful in complicated parking areas or crowded car parks, or for a person like me who has a tendency to forget exactly where he has left his car.

With the Nuvi 780 at your side, you can be certain that you will always take the most direct route to your desired destination. All you are required to do is input the destination in the 780 and it gets to work sifting through all available routes to choose the easiest and most convenient for you. The 780 takes account of all relevant information, including local traffic conditions or possible shortcuts so it will certainly decide on the best possible route to take you to your destination.

The 780 could be simply the best GPS device you can buy today. Do not be deceived by its size – it comes packed with special features such as multi-point routing and it can send and receive weather updates and real time traffic condition updates. These embedded features are serviced by MSN Direct, which, apart from weather and traffic updates can also provide live gas prices, local events and movie times.

So what more could you wish from a GPS tracking system? Despite its small footprint and lightness it boasts a generous 4.3 inch TFT touch screen with anti-glare protection and is capable of showing images at a 480 x 272 resolution. You also get a USB port as well as an SC card slot. Power is provided by a rechargeable lithium ion battery which delivers up to five hours on one charge. It is also versatile: while you are driving it can play MP3 music and function as an image viewer. But that’s not all – the Nuvi 780 comes ready bundled with a car power adapter and a USB cable, and a mount for your windscreen.

The Garmin Nuvi 780 looks like the previous models from the Nuvi 700 series. It has a good width so that the screen is viewable from a range of angles but at the same time it’s slim enough to be conveniently stored anywhere inside your vehicle, or in your coat pocket.
