The Garmin Nüvi 780 Aesthetics
When you look at this small and stylish device closely, you will see that is very clean. Except for the power switch on the top, there are no visible controls on the front. All operations are performed via the 4.3-inch color touch-screen. Upon closer inspection, you will notice a small microphone hole along the left side of the black frame. This is used for hands-free calling. It also comes equipped with a brighter LCD display, text-to-speech,
Bluetooth, FM transmitter, and MSN Direct receiver built-in to the 12v power adapter.
At the back, you will see the speaker and external antenna connector. This comes in handy if you need to mount the GPS away from the dashboard. Because the antenna is built into the system, there will be less risk in breakage, especially when the car is constantly in motion. It also makes it easier to undock from the windshield mount.
The underside is home to the mini-USB connector. The connector is used for data transfer between a PC/Mac and the GPS. It is also for charging the battery outside of the windshield mount. The multi-pin connector is used when mounting the GPS in the car.
When you look at its sides, you will see only slim design. Because you take it anywhere with you, Garmin has made sure that carrying it around is easy and very much possible. If size is an indicator to how handy it is, you’ll be happy to know that the nüvi 780 fits easily into your pocket.
