3D maps is an added benefit when traveling in new areas to orient yourself. Junction view is also nice to minimize confusion on road trips. |
Sometimes seems like a slow processor that lags on map loading and route calculating. |

voice control.
fm traffic updates
multiple lanes are displayed with pictures of exits on some metropolitan areas
bluetooth to phone for hands free |
small speaker can make it difficult to hear telephone conversations. would be good to have FM ability to send sound to car radio speakers. |

Garmin Nuvi 3790 LMT |
Accuracy, graphics, speed to locate satellites, search speed. Had a 1590 stolen and replaced with this unit. I love it. Sleek, small, lightweight, good battery life, etc. |
Speaker and mic not very good for bluetooth integration with your phone. Activation of voice commands takes a bit of getting used to and doesn't work every time. |

Thin. Can take it with you when you walk. |
Directs you down country roads that lead to dangerous intersections. |

I have had 8 different GPSs this one is by far the best one I have used.
The first thing I like about the Garmin 3790 is the way it plugs into the cradle. nothing harder on the GPS then to have to pull a cord out from the back of it. The touch screen is very responsive. Easy to operate. and is voice commanded for true hands free operation. |
There is little I have found wrong with this unit. If I am pushed I would have to say the voice command will switch on even when I am not asking for it once and a while. Not really that big of a deal. |

Very nice looking device, so far I don't have any serious problem with it yet but its not as expected as a $450 device. |
It's a little too hot when navigating for the first hour til the battery fully charged.
Sometimes it takes you to the back street roads for no reason. |

G520 - Very clear voice instructions through the cars speaker system.
3790t - Very good graphics. |
G520 - Graphics are a quite slow by modern standards.
3790t - Still looking for them! |

Stable running
ecoRoute HD is very good
NavTeq Maps seem to be much faster updated compared to the TeleAtlas on my former TomTom940 |
Very slow Satellite search, compared to my old TomTom940
Very slow updates
While updating software the device has to be repeatedly disconnected from and reconnected to USB port |

I find the Garmin nüvi® 3790T to be a very good unit, unstable in some areas.
I’ve had this unit for about a year and it has been very accurate during this time I also have a Navman S90I this is also a good unit they seem to be on par with each other however the Garman is more advanced which you would expect.
|
I found that the Garmin nüvi® 3790T really battles to find the GPS signals and this is really annoying, in my case it took anything from ten to fifteen minutes to connect I solved this problem by purchasing a GPS Re-radiating Antenna Kit my unit now takes one minute or less to connect.

Great screen & slim size. |
When using data strip (speed, eta etc) on right of screen writing is too big and results in small map viewing area. Unable to increase volume for saftey camera alerts. Safety camera icons too small to see exact location. |

It looks and behaves a lot like Apples iPhone or iPod Touch. |
The glass will crack if you store it in your back pocket and then sit down. |

Highly evolved over my TomTom 910
Voice command is fantastic. All good at the moment with the new toy... |
Like any high end device, you need to learn how to utilise its capabilities (Read the manual).
More difficult to load custom POIs and sounds.
Thats why I an here...!!! |

Over all a great device! Design, voice control, my- and trafic-trends. |
Now and then it bothers me that you can´t go directly back to the main menu.
No option which alows you to chose between eg. fastes and main roads only - like I think some TomToms have. |

Slim form factor is very convinient.
Voice commands really help to keep eyes on the road. I wish it was voice command access to some functions that currently can be performed only by touch. |
Missing recalculate command like on my old iQue3600. Device recalculates route when traffic situation becomes worse, but does not recalculate after it receives data that congestion on the original route dissipated. Also it seems not to take in account that even congested freeway sometimes could be faster then surface streets with lots of stop lights. |

great screen, very fast processor, easy to use menu system (once you get used to where everything is), does not keep rebooting like my Navman MY50T; love the ecoroute feature, overall I really like it a lot but have only had it for a week so far. |
glass screen shows up all the finger prints which is no big deal really. No other complaints. |

Overall does as it says, nice slick looking unit. Large onboard memory and fast processor a big plus already! |
unit gets VERY hot when in car cradle and using, screen capture icon BLOCKS OUT battery level meter, voice activation- when using a 2 word command like good morning the unit will wake up after just saying good. Biggest NEG is NO OVERSPEED AUDIBLE ALARM, even my Uniden had this out of the box! |

Great unit with the exception of the DETOUR ...see below.
VOICE COMMAND is a very useful feature. |
Brisbane Maps: Detours are plainly ridiculous.
Requesting a detour prior to Nudgee Road on the way to the airport resulted in several backstreets returning to the departure point (The Gabba) and then re-tracving the original route. The expected and obvious detour was left Nudgee Road to East West Arterial and direct to the airport.
Obvious..and no problem to a local...but disaster to a visitor perhaps tight on time for a flight.
This not a once-off. In the limited time I have been using this GPS there have been similar instances as I have tried to experiment with the capabilities. |

Sleek Look, Very thin profile, Touch Screen very responsive, Voice Commands excellent, Greater Internal Memory for increased capacity Micro SD Card for expanded memory, Elevation indicator, Speed indicator.
Additional comments to come as I use the device more. |
Vouce commands limited, FM Traffic Messaging includes pop-up ads, somewhat annoying.

Gets me there, once you have entered the location navigation is pretty reliable. Used in Australia, New Zealand and France with no trouble finding my destinations. |
My S90i is a dream to use compared to the MY55. MY 55 interface can be painfully slow and difficult to use. Not intuitive for entering destination and somewhat frustrating when you are required to enter a suburb it disagrees with. The S90i over the MY55 provided you have got a decent battery or power source as the S90i platform is getting old. |

Awesome screen - great resolution and color. Love the 3D topography. Looks better than any OEM in-car system I have seen yet.
|
The initial software seems buggy - a few crashes and spontaneous reboots since I got it. Im hoping the newer firmware will help with that. |
