Its more for semantic purposes, the nav tag its an HTML 5 element so browsers know that inside there is a navigation and screen readers are able to read it and decide if they want to display it. Design wise its no different then your standard div element however I wouldn't use a nav tag to wrap an image gallery for example it wouldn't make sense.
