As a GPS unit, the 3790LMT is phenomenal, and I will start a bit, but first, I decided to write this review for those who, like me, live in a part of the world where the climate is extreme enough to you need to have GPS in and out of the car regularly to prevent damage (or crime).
I used to have a Garmin 765T, which was a small unit of all the reasons why I personally buy a GPS. I do not care much about MP3 playback or viewing photos, or even Bluetooth, GPS just want a fast, accurate and easy to use. And I came to discover that you also need one that is easy to take with me when I leave my vehicle.
So when my 765T maps were out of date when faced with a decision whether to update the map, or get a different drive and I decided that for the same price to "upgrade" to a new GPS that comes with the map of life and traffic updates instead of paying to upgrade a couple of months my old Garmin 765T.
After shopping around I decided on a TomTom XXL500TM. As a GPS, it was a good unit, but immediately lost the "quick release" feature of my old 765T, which allowed me to just put your time in the parking baseload very hot or very cold or when the areas that have a GPS in sight can lead the spirit beyond the criminals who were strong enough to resist. After a couple of episodes 20 second night groping in the dark to connect the charging cable and connect the TomTom in her crib, I had enough and sent me back. It was simply impractical for where I live. If you live where you can leave your GPS in the car most of the time without raising the legs, melting or freezing below zero of a brick, then save a few bucks, but if not, continue to read more. ..
Then I began to search the web for GPS units that had life and traffic maps and any collection of quick-release mounting. That was literally all I liked in terms of features, which unfortunately came to discover that he was going to cost a small fortune to get a GPS that match these search criteria simple.
Finally, after comparing is mounted between the TomTom and Garmin was broken and tried 1390LMT Garmin.
Same story, while the Garmin 1390LMT were similar in quality to XXL500TM TomTom, in terms of response time and features. And while I find your car charger and mount to be a little easier to call a dark car (maybe 15 seconds of play with the cord and mounting instead of 20), remained a no-go.
This only left me with a couple of other GPS models offered anywhere, by any manufacturer who assembles quick release (at the time of writing) and I was hesitant to spring for $ 499.00 (plus Instead, at the time of writing) to a Garmin 3790LMT just what I saw as "a series of extra features" that will probably never use it, and return to a discard pile a little fast.
But then, luck struck and I was able to pick up a 3790LMT here on Amazon for just over 20% off and sold my old 1390LMT simultaneously to more than double what he had to pay for him to improve washing. And what is an update that turned out to be!
This GPS is what is supposed to do and does it well. It's quick. It's sleak. He has the battery life. And, most importantly for me, has released a lot of very fast (do not release the same old as the 765T, but still can be done in one or two seconds with one tough, cold and glove. And I not too bad at all).
Added value:
He quickly came to appreciate the 3790 "command voice." I never thought I would use it, and really did not care a bit about this when I bought it, but now I looked at all my frequent destinations using Google Earth and entered into latitude / longitude on how to "Favorites" I quickly using the command routing voice of my next destination, and adding the points of passage for gas or coffee while driving down the road, hands and eyes to participate fully on driving. On trips with frequent stops, the time savings really add up.
Voice Command Tip: The voice command feature works almost perfectly with good diction, but even when eating a sandwich (also known as talking with food in my mouth ... shhhhshh not tell mom) , which still proved to be almost a false "screening" test using destination numbers stored in my "favorites."
Be improved? Yes.
1. Garmin could return to the old assembly release button used to have on the day of the 765T.
2. Voice commands may have more options like zoom in and out maps to help and see the union lanes.
Conclusions:
I recommend this unit as one of the best GPS units around the time of this writing. All opinions and brand preferences aside, is the only one to offer any other manufacturer at the time of writing that can be transferred from your car to your pocket and back when needed.
