Nuvi 760 Hidden Features

LoneDog · 12-24-2008, 11:56 AM

Sorry if this is posted elsewhere. I didn't find it. I just saw a post mentioning an undocumented sat screen on the nuvi 760. Are there any other "hidden" screens and, if so, what are they and how does one access them?

I believe most of not all are accessed via holding a corner of the screen (just as you would a regular screen tap, just leave your finger there) during startup of the unit. You typically will have a diags screen that shows you a ton of stuff you won't care about

maybe a few colorful screens for testing the pixels, some bluetooth pairing/unpairing stuff, etc. The other hot button will call a system reset, on the newer models it at least asks you now "erase all user data?". This is the same clear they do when they refurb a unit, it takes it back to needing to know languages and such.

Most of us call them "Easter Eggs", so you might search on that, too.

On the MAIN screen, if you push and hold the satellite strength indicator, it takes you to the satellite acquisition screen.

Have fun!
