Navigation doesn’t have to be a simple set of links; recently it is “reinvented” to present not only available navigation options, but also the hierarchy and structure of the site’s content. The so-called “Mega” drop-down menus are commonly seen in e-commerce or product layouts as a way to show detailed information about products. Menus such as these are a new trend, and are quickly catching on because they can instantly provide users with the information that they are looking for – without a single click, quite similar to the concept of a rollover element.

That said from Smashing Magazine. Essentially “Mega Menus” are a new trend that you too can provide your Web users. Take a look at the example below taken from www.actionenvelope.com.
