Fast satellite reception is due to the HotFix feature that automatically calculates and stores critical satellite information to quickly locate satellites to get the first GPS fix. This helps to ensure that guidance from the Garmin Nuvi 765 car GPS navigation is ready to go within seconds of the unit powering up.
