Because of its incredibly small profile, when the Garmin Nuvi 3790T GPS hit the market last year, a few eyebrows were raised. Regardless, this unit is a completely functional GPS that will handle just about anything the average consumer needs. Not just limited to GPS units, this type of micro-design is popular and has been an ongoing trend for several years. Actually, you might even say that in the ultra-slim department, the GPS devices are a bit behind the times. There are so many features and functions in the GPS unit, it is really hard to think of what might be around in three to five years. Time will only tell what the future holds because the Nuvi 3790T may have started a new trend. I am an ultrasound technician earning a good ultrasound technician salary. In my spare time, I really enjoy collecting the latest information of any product with top technology. Actually, I know the new Garmin Nuvi 3790T GPS is fashionable in many ultrasound technician schools in California because it makes ultrasound technician students drive simple and cool. I simply decided to buy this device even though this need a relatively large percentage of my monthly ultrasound technician salary.
A new feature we have noticed is the capacitive glass variety of touchscreen where you can use a pinching action to zoom in either direction. You might notice however that the Nuvi 3790T multi-touch function isn't quite as advanced as the Android or the iPhone. Even if the effect doesn't seem to be as smooth or seamless, it doesn't take away from the way it operates or its effectiveness. In ambient lighting conditions, the lack of light sensors for adjustments can be a minor drawback. With the high quality screen display, that issue is almost a moot point.
Beside the City Navigator® NT, the SUNA Traffic Channel which offers a subscription that is valid for life is also a Nuvi 3790T standard. One issue with using such a low-profile design is it there wasn't enough room left to include a FM receiver. So that you can get the SUNA traffic updates, you do need to have a receiver. This means you will need a charge unit which also houses the FM receiver. Since the charger is a mobile device it does allow you to get traffic updates when you are on the road.
It also has Bluetooth capability so that you can make hands-free phone calls. Because the microphone seems to be the last thing that gets installed and usually isn't very high quality, you will want to experiment with the device a bit.
However with trafficTrends, the Nuvi 3790T has made improvements with using alternative routes rather than constantly using major thoroughfares. A feature related to that is myTrends which learns the most traveled routes that you take on daily basis and will display it. So you can make a choice of the data source depending on what your needs are at that moment. You have the capability to disable the myTrend feature if you find you need to use another routing solution.
According to reports, it seems that the 3790T outperforms other Garmin GPS units, especially in areas of processing and voice recognition. However, there have been some reports as well about minor decreases in other areas of speech recognition performance. There can be a lot of reasons that people differ in their opinion, the top one being attributed to individual preferences.
