Garmin nuvi 3790T

 

Garmin's latest sat-nav is slim and ready to receive your every command.

The Garmin nuvi 3790T is one of the few sat-navs we’ve come across that elicits desire before you’ve even turned it on. Fortunately, when you do, the attractive looks are matched by a capable set of features as well. If you’re a regular rush hour...

Garmin Nuvi 3790T review

 

Is this the best sat nav ever? Very very nearly

PhotoReal junctions ; User interface ; nuviRoutes

Robotic voice ; Poor speaker ; It's a lot of money

Wow. If sat nav heaven is having Angelina Jolie jump into the passenger seat and asking you where you want to go, then the Garmin Nuvi 3790T comes a very, very close second.

Garmin nuvi 3790T review

 

The slimmest sat-nav ever, is Garmin's multitouch nuvi 3790T a smartphone GPS beater?

Stunning looks with a fast processor to match, this is a truly modern sat-nav

Garmin nuvi 3790T review

 

Most GPS units have employed a similar form factor for a number of years — generally housing a resistive touchscreen in a bulky plastic case. Garmin has gone against the grain with nuvi 3790T, banking on an ultra-thin design and a high resolution...

The Garmin nuvi 3790T is drop-dead gorgeous. If you're willing to pay its premium price you'll get a navigation device that not only looks good, but offers excellent build quality, a great screen and what we think is the best overall navigational...

Garmin Nüvi 3790T satnav

 

Review With the Nüvifone M1 [1]0 Garmin seemed intent on making a phone like a PND. Now with the 3790T it's going the other way, making a PND that looks and feels like a phone complete with a capacitive glass screen, super-skinny profile and hefty £300...

Without a doubt the most stylish PND on the market the 3790T has a superbly slick UI and a lovely screen. Also the size and weight make it perfect for carrying about with you when using shanks's pony. Yet the features alone didn't outweight the fact...

Design and build quality, capacitive touchscreen, simple and effective UI, voice commands, traffic updates, safety alerts, lane guidance

Expensive, glossy screen, no ambient light sensor, slightly slower at getting a GPS fix and rerouting than other Garmin satnavs

The Garmin nuvi 3790T is drop-dead gorgeous. If you're willing to pay its premium price you'll get a navigation device that not only looks good, but offers excellent build quality, a great screen and what we think is the best overall navigational...

Multitouch zoom

Traffic reports are advertising-supported

If your vehicle can accommodate a GPS device with an enormous 7-inch screen, the RoadMate will prove to be a worthwhile travel companion.

Garmin Nuvi 3790T review

 

Garmin Nuvi 3790T

The Garmin Nuvi 3790T is one of the thinnest and lightest portable navigators we've tested; it's the best looking, too. Voice Command is truly hands-free and can be activated merely by speaking to the Nuvi. Bluetooth calling also helps drivers keep...

The glossy screen tends to create a good deal of glare when used in direct sunlight. Traffic data cannot be accessed while using the device in the hand.

The Garmin Nuvi 3790T is an exceptional portable navigation device with just the right blend of form and function.
