The Nuvi 710 GPS Receiver from Garmin


The Garmin Nuvi 710 GPS receiver is a sight to behold with its
4.3-inch screen sitting in a compact 4.8"W x 3.0"H x .8"D device, with
this size it is easy to see the mapping and auxiliary information
while still being able to put it in a bag or coat when it is in the
car and it is very light weighing only 176g.
Simply put, GPS is an acronym for Global Positioning System and is a
fully functional global navigation satellite system that allows its
users to map location of a particular place amidst other uses and the
710 series is Garmin's latest Satnav range.
The large screen of the device takes most of the space leaving only
the power button ON/OFF, the commands of the device is controlled via
the WQVGA color TFT screen. The screen has been designed to be
compatible with seasonal change having a resolution of 480x 272 pixels
and therefore confering it some greater degree of clarity making it
very easy to read.

Interestingly, connection to other devices such as the mobile phone is
allowed through the Bluetooth connectivity incorporated in the device,
this would enable transferring of data from the device to another.
Also the device has an FM transmitter that allows transmission of
songs from car to be easier as a result the device's built-in MP3
player.
Also, the Nuvi 710 has an FM TMC traffic function that allow its users
to predetermine trouble spots before they got stuck in them and unlike
other Satnav makers like Sony, Navman or TomTom, with this model it
means you've got to drap your nice looking car in cables and the power
cable that connects to the docking station is large, long and
cumbersome.
Basically, using the Traffic feature is simple and requires no
additional effort on your behalf. Basically if the data received
suggests you will be hitting traffic on your route, an icon appears
telling you how much time Garmin anticipates it adding to your overall
journey and then changes the estimated time of arrival.
