Plan A Route With The Garvin Numi 760

The Numi 760 is a popular global positioning system (GPS) device created by Garmin, one of the worldwide leaders in GPS technology. The Numi 760 is around 4 inches wide and includes traffic information, text-to-speech capabilities and a multimedia section that can hold photos and music. The Numi 760, like most standard Garmin GPS devices, can easily route addresses to anywhere in the United States, and select locations around the world.


Instructions


1. Press the power button to turn on your Numi 760. (If your Garmin is plugged into your car's power outlet and the engine is on, the unit will turn on automatically.) Stand outside with the unit or make sure it has a clear view of the sky from your vehicle, and give it a minute or two to acquire the satellite signal. Once the green satellite bars have filled up, select "Where To" on the home screen.








2. Select "Address" and then hit "Change Address/Province," if needed. From there you can type in the state, city, street number and street name of your desired location, or select the state and city from a drop-down menu, and select "Go."


3. You can also search by category or company name. Type a word like "food," "hotel," "McDonald's" or "Target" into the search bar to retrieve a list of similar locations. Then highlight and select your desired location from the list. From the "Where to" screen, you can also click on "Points of Interest" and then choose "Food," "Lodging," "Shopping," etc.








4. Wait for your route to be populated, and you will be presented with a distance, travel time, street layout and traffic update.
