The user manual is here: http://www8.garmin.com/manuals/nuvi750-GPS-Atl_OwnersManual.pdf

Yes I know it says 750 but it covers the 700 series.

Page 45 has the screen calibration settings. 

Basically....

  • Turn the Nuvi off, then back on.
  • Slide the power key to the right (lock)
  • Hold your finger on the screen for about 30 seconds until the calibration screen appears.
  • Follow the instructions on the screen.
