How to Navigate Off-Road With the Garmin Nuvi 760

Switch from standard road settings to off-road by touching the screen and navigating through the following toolbars: Tools, Settings, Navigation, Route, Preference and finally Off-Road. Return to the main screen, select your destination and press the Go button on the screen.

Employ the directions from the GPS with some flexibility. Going off-road always involves rougher and more variable conditions than driving on an established road, so base your driving on what you see first and the GPS route second. If you deviate from the GPS route, the unit will compensate accordingly.

Switch to Pedestrian mode when you park the vehicle and start walking or biking. Touch the screen and navigate through the following toolbars: Tools, Settings, System, Usage Mode, and then finally Pedestrian. You will return to the main screen, where you can select a destination and touch Go.

Double-check your position if you think you are lost or need to share that information with someone else. Touch the "Where Am I?" button on the screen to receive your coordinates. To verify them against a map, use the longitude and latitude coordinates to find your location using the guidelines on your map. Avoid the most common mistake in doing this by checking to make sure that your GPS and your map are using the same coordinate system (coordinate fractions are expressed either as minutes and seconds or as a decimal figure).
