The 705 and 800, when navigating a route, will alert you to an upcoming turn with a beep and also display a depiction of the your path through the upcoming turn and the name of the street, much like an auto GPS. This alert distance before the turn is based on how "major" the route is and varies from .1 miles to .3 miles in my experience. After a short time/distance the alert ceases and the display reverts to normal until you get within several hundred feet before the turn at which point it beeps again, depicts your path through the upcoming turn, and counts down the distance to the turn.
