Meet Your Navigation Needs With the Garmin Nuvi 3790T GPS

By Mary D. Hester


The Garmin Nuvi 3790T GPS (Global Positioning System) is the latest engineering effort from one of the pioneering companies in the industry. Garmin has continued to update and expand from a technology perspective as well as design in the Nuvi 3790T. Many hand-held electronic devices already have the "ultra-thin" style, so we feel they are a bit behind in their design. Its isn't a big issue however since this is something the consumers wanted and Garmin responded. Can the bells and whistles get any better is something we are asking ourselves all the time because they seem to keep improving them all the time. When it comes to consumer electronics, the ergonomics of the device must be considered. However, the convenience factor for carrying the Nuvi 3790T in your shirt pocket and Pedestrian navigation mode addresses a new marketing demand. Because it is too early, we don't know if Garmin's latest release is a hit or miss.

Ergonomic considerations are almost a must-have aspect for consumer electronics. The Nuvi 3709T can be easily carried in a shirt pocket and has the Pedestrian navigation mode which meets a new marketing demand. It is a bit early to know if Garmin's latest release is a hit or miss, though. Truthfully, who would have imagined that the concept of "sexy" would be ever engineered into the design of a Global Position System unit? Garmin has played it smart by paying attention to the likes and dislikes and the needs of the very large market of electronic consumers.

Using the 3-D Building and Terrain capability, you get a representation of the terrain including major buildings and it is not comprehensive to include everything. Beside the City Navigator NT, the SUNA Traffic Channel which offers a subscription that is valid for life is also a Nuvi 3790T standard. The one possible consequence of such a low-profile design is apparently there was no room left for an FM receiver. So that you can get the SUNA traffic updates, you do need to have a receiver. Since the FM receiver is in the charge unit, you will need to have it.

You do have the capability of making hands-free phone calls because it also has Bluetooth capability. Think about experimenting with the device first because it seems that the microphone is the last thing that gets installed and rarely is it the best quality of mic on the market. There is an entire slew of features that we cannot cover in detail simply because they are too many. Various software for making just about any kind of calculated conversion you would ever need.

If you are looking for ideas of where to go when traveling around the country you can download photos from Garmin Connect and then just navigate to where suits you. Some people might find that feature a bit odd, but others could find it very useful to them. It offers an anti-theft device called Garmin Lock as well as Garmin Garage which can be used to download customized security features. That seems like such a slightly odd feature, but it could be convenient and fulfill a need with some people.
