Tom Tom, GPS and Sat Nav Review
The home screen of Garmin's nuvi 770 is refreshingly simple. And intuitive too
The maps used by Garmin are much more detailedl than their TomTom / TeleAtlas equivalents
The Garmin nuvi 770 packs in almost as many features as the TomTom Go, yet the user interface never feels cluttered
You can add extra maps to the Garmin nuvi 770 via its SD memory card slot
A functional robust and minimalist case design is echoed in the Garmin nuvi 770's other functions
The Garmin nuvi 770's windscreen mount is simple and well-designed. It holds the device securely in place too - something that can't be said of some of its rivals
Garmin's application updater is easy to use too - and works on both PCs and Macs
