Garmin Nuvi 755T

The Nuvi 755T is part of the high-end Nuvi GPS series released by Garmin in late 2008. While similar to 2007’s Nuvi 700-series, the 755T expands upon its predecessors by adding free (ad supported) lifetime traffic updates. Another new feature is the lane-assist view, which shows the driver the correct lane one should be in as the vehicle approaches an exit. The lane-assist feature also shows actual road signs a driver would encounter along major highway intersections. The device’s 2D and 3D mapping system is complimented by a 3D building view mode, allowing motorists navigate with greater ease. Compared to the earlier 700-series, the Nuvi 755T also features faster satellite communication and photo navigation, so one can use landmarks for added confidence when navigating. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery should suffice for the average trip, lasting approximately 5 hours.
