Get Turn-by-Turn Directions

nuvi 785T's intuitive interface greets you with two simple questions: "Where to?" and "View Map." Touch the color screen to easily look up addresses and services and get voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions that speak street names to your destination. It comes preloaded with detailed City Navigator® NT street maps for North America, over 6 million points of interest (POIs) and features digital elevation maps and 3-D building view in some areas to help you orient yourself with your surroundings. You can also upload custom points of interest (POIs). With HotFix™ satellite prediction, nuvi calculates your position faster to get you there quicker, and its ultra-fast map redraw ensures a smooth user interface.

Find Yourself, Your Car

Keep track of yourself and your car with nuvi 785T. Just tap the "Where Am I?" emergency locator to find the closest hospitals, police stations, fuel stations, nearest address and intersection. Also see your exact latitude and longitude coordinates. nuvi 785T even remembers where you parked.

Perfect for unfamiliar spots and crowded lots such as amusement parks, stadiums and malls.

Plan Ahead

nuvi 785T includes advanced navigation features to take the worry out of traveling.
