Slick New Interface
This nuvi looks like it walked off the latest fashion ramp. Sassy but very smart, with a large 4.3" screen. Turn the gps vertically or horizontally and the screen orientates itself automatically. Pinch it and the screen zooms (that's what is meant by multi-touch screen).
Traffic Service
The 3790 comes bundled with a traffic receiver antenna and lifetime free subscrition . Traffic information is received by the gps and an icon appears on the screen notifying you about the expected delay. You may then instruct the nuvi to calculate an alternative route to avoid the congestion.
Solid Garmin Navigation
The nuvi 3790LT will get you there with a minimum of fuss. Just type in your where you want to go, and it will take you there by showing the route on the screen and also talking you through the turns. This nuvi speaks street names, making it so much easier to know where to turn.
It not only speaks to you, but you can speak to it and it understands your commands. The voice activation feature makes it a lot simpler to focus on the road, rather than fiddle with the 3790.
Have you ever panicked because you do not know which lane to take on a multi laned highway? No problem. This nuvi indicates the lane in advance by using lane assist and junction view technology - available in the major centres of South Africa.
The ecoRoute features saves you fuel and money by suggesting the most economical way to drive. It also allows you to calculate the cost of a journey.
If the traffic on the highway gets too much, you can ask the nuvi to avoid highways. You can also ask it to avoid toll roads if you prefer.
What happens if you take a short-cut or even the wrong turn? The nuvi will automatically recalculate a new route for you. No mess, no fuss.
The nuvi will allow you to preview the route it is going to take before you even leave, so that you can confidently see where it is going to take you. And once you are driving, the trip computer page will give you the speed, kilometres travelled, fuel cost, time and distance to destination. You can also choose to display one of the following on the map page; distance to destination, estimated time to destination, estimated time of arrival, direction of travel, elevation or time of day. The nuvi 3790 LT will also indicate the speed limit for most major roads.
If you want to go somewhere and you want to stop at various places, you can create a multiple route with all your stops along the way. You can then ask it to find the shortest (optimal) route to from start to finish, if you prefer. This is great for persons like reps that need to see many customers and want the gps to tell them the best route to get to all of them. You can save up to 100 routes for future use. This is a real time and fuel saver.
Once you have been to a place there is no need to remember the address again, just store it as a favourite, and navigate back to it at any time. Store up to 1000 favourites. Setting the "home" feature will get you to that place at the touch of a button.
You can take your nuvi out of the car for up to four hours to tour the sights of any place. It will remember the last place that you switched it off (Garmin Locate feature).You can use it in automobile, pedestrian or bicycle mode. The pedestrian mode allows you to walk the wrong way up one-way streets for example.
For your convenience you can choose a route that is fastest or shortest or uses less fuel. The nuvi 3790 can also draw a straight line to your destination. Useful if the destination is off the street. You can optionally display the trip log of where you have been. The myTrend facility remembers your favourite way of driving to certain destinations, and allows you to choose your favourite route over that which the nuvi calculates.
Switch between car, bicycle and pedestrian user modes. For example, in pedestrian mode, this will allow you to walk the wrong way up a one-way without the gps complaining.
Maps
Activate your City Navigator South Africa maps within 60 days of purchase, and you receive free map updates. The maps include South Africa, Mozambique, Botswana, Namibia and Swaziland.
You can optionally load MapSource street maps of Europe, USA etc. We can supply and install these maps for you, just ask for a quote.
Buildings and other features come to life, as they appear in 3D view on your nuvi screen - available in major centres.
Bluetooth Hands-free Cell Phone Calls
This is how it works: The nuvi connects to your compatible cell phone by Bluetooth. When a call comes through, an icon appears on the screen that allows you to either accept or reject the call. The caller’s voice comes through the nuvi’s built-in speaker, and your voice is sent via the nuvi’s built-in microphone. If the nuvi is busy with a route at the time, the voice directions are muted for the call, however the directions are still displayed on the nuvi screen. As easy as that!
Have Fun Getting to Places
Worried about speed-traps and hi-jack spots? You can download the latest road hazards and safety camera positions to your nuvi from Garmin's Cyclops, free of charge.
Do you want to know where the nearest hospital, police station, petrol station or intersection is in a hurry? The "Where Am I?" feature will give this information instantly. Of course, you get thousands of such Points of Interest (POI's) plus more, such as restaurants, garages, airports, accommodation, shopping centers, ATM's, parking areas, entertainment, recreation, attractions, hospitals and more with your Garmin nuvi 3790.
You can download places to go to, and their pictures, from Garmin Connect Photos. You can use this information (also known as geotagged photos) to go to these places. That means that you can see the place before you decide to travel there.
You could also load your own pictures onto the nuvi and display them on the picture viewer, that has pan, zoom and slide show functions.
If You Ever Lose The nuvi
Worried about your Garmin being stolen? Well you can pin lock this GPS. Every time you switch on, you will be asked for a pin code. What happens if you forget the code? Just take the nuvi back to where you set the code in the first place and the nuvi 3790 will unlock itself.
Lots More Features
Apart from the on-board memory, the unit can take extra memory on a microSD card. This is useful for loading extra maps and pictures.
You can load custom vehicles and voices on the screen to a raunchy 4x4, smart street car, superbike or many other amazing vehicles and voices.
If you travel overseas, you can set up to 3 time zones anywhere in the world. You could also use the unit converter to convert distance or weight. For example convert inches to cm, or pounds to kilograms, and so on. You can also convert from one currency to another e.g. Rands to Dollars, etc. The built-in calculator can be used for those quick calculations you may need to make.
The gps allows you to change the on-screen keyboard format to either Alphabetic or QWERTY, whatever is most comfortable for you.
The fundis at Garmin have made this nuvi very fast at picking up satellites so you do not have to wait for it to "warm up", and it will adjust for the time-zone that you are in automatically.
