nüvi 3790LT Ultra-thin navigator with dual-orientation views Features:

Enjoy a uniquely personal navigation experience with the elegantly slim nüvi 3790LT. A GPS with style, substance and personality and just 8.77mm thin, it redefines portable navigation to watch over your every journey. The nüvi 3790LT features a gesture-controlled multi-touch capacitive screen, myTrends technology which predicts routes based on user's navigation behaviour, voice-activated navigation, 3D buildings and terrain, Lane Assist and Junction View, City Navigator South Africa NT maps with 60-day nüMaps Guarantee, hands-free calling and subscription-free lifetime traffic alerts.

Award-Winning Design

Elegantly manufactured in aluminium and chrome, the blade-like nüvi 3790LT is the slimmest portable navigator on the market, with a highly-responsive, high-detail 800x400 pixel 4.3” LCD display. A GPS first, the capacitive multi-touch technology lets you “slide”, “tap” and “pinch” to zoom in and out and browse surrounding areas just by dragging a finger on the gesture-controlled screen. Dual-orientation capabilities mean you can choose how you see the route ahead, simply flip nüvi portrait-to-landscape while walking or in the car to view any way you want.

Experience nüRoutes Navigation

This ultra-intelligent GPS is tailored to your needs to find you the best route. Standard routing features include the Calculation Mode which sets the preference for calculating routes, such as fastest time, shortest distance etc and Avoidances which sets the types of roads to avoid when calculating routes. Advanced routing capabilities include myTrends, which analyses your driving behaviour and predicts your regular journeys without needing to set a destination.

Simplicity and Safety

Lane Assist & Junction View
Navigate tricky junctions / interchanges with Lane Assist and Junction View* for upcoming exits and junctions on your route. The nüvi 3790LT indicates the correct lane choice of what’s up ahead. See road signs with arrows guiding you to the right lane for your onward journey. Flip nüvi landscape-to-portrait to see Junction view in split-screen for exceptional clarity. Combined with nuvi 3790T’s 3D terrain detail and contours, buildings and landmarks, the road ahead has never looked so vivid. (* where coverage exists in South Africa).

Safety Cameras 

Drive safely and legally with Garmin’s unique Cyclops safety cameras which are built in, giving real-time, reliable and accurate alerts, over speed warning and speed limit information as you approach one of hundreds of fixed, mobile, variable limit and temporary safety cameras. New or moved cameras are constantly tracked and the central database is updated by Cyclops regularly for subscribed users.

Park Position Recall 

The nüvi marks your parked position as a point on the map when removed from the car mount to guide you back there on foot. It also finds the nearest parking to your location for the ultimate convenience.

Garmin Lock 

The Garmin Lock anti-theft protection system uses GPS to lock the unit to a secure location of your choice.

Make Hands-free Calls

The nüvi 3790LT integrates Bluetooth wireless technology with a built-in microphone and speaker letting you make hands-free calls while giving the road your full attention. Simply dial numbers on the touchscreen or tap the display and speak into the built-in microphone to take incoming calls. Enjoy convenient one-touch dialling of your phone book contacts and points of interest, all with enhanced sound quality though the dedicated car mount loud speaker.

Subscription-Free Traffic Alerts

Steer clear of traffic with the integrated FM traffic receiver and subscription-free, lifetime traffic updates. Receive alerts about traffic delays that lie ahead on your route. Next, simply touch the screen on nüvi to view traffic details or detour around the problem area.

Voice-Activated Navigation

Experience a completely voice-controlled navigation from the word ‘go’. Simply set your own custom “wake-up” command to activate speech-recognition mode and the nüvi 3790LT acts on your spoken instruction for a totally hands-free navigation. Give the nüvi 3790LT a name, tell it where you want to go and it will design a route specifically for you.

Turn-by-turn Directions with Enhanced Map Detail

The nüvi 3790LT has an intuitive interface that greets you with two simple questions: "Where To?" and "View Map." Touch the capacitive colour screen to easily look up addresses and services and get voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions with spoken street names for extra route awareness with no need to look at the screen. Garmin’s new Trip Planner feature provides a multi-route preview so you can visually compare the available routes before selecting your preferred journey. With nüvi 3790LT’s enhanced user interface, you can slide your finger to conveniently scroll between screens and with HotFix satellite prediction nüvi calculates your position faster to get you there quicker.

Go Beyond Navigation

Besides the advanced features you’d expect from a flagship Garmin GPS, nüvi 3790LT goes beyond navigation. The ecoRoute petrol-saving feature calculates a more fuel-efficient route, tracks petrol usage and enables expense reporting through Microsoft Excel. The nüvi 3760T is packed with travel tools including a JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. With photo navigation, you can download pictures from Garmin Connect Photos (http://my.garmin.com/photos) and navigate straight to the scene without entering the destination address.

The Garmin Nuvi 3790 LT heads up a new range of GPS devices released by Garmin.
The Garmin Nuvi 3790 LT is a clear departure from the old bulky designs and is the thinnest GPS currently available. The unit is just 8.7 mm thick, that’s about as wide as a pencil, and can easily be confused for a Smartphone.
The front of the unit has 4.3" gesture-controlled multi-touch screen, with clear 800 x 480 pixel resolution. The unit also has dual-orientation capabilities, meaning you can use it either horizontally or vertically and the capacitive multi-touch technology lets you “slide”, “tap” and “pinch” to zoom in and out and browse surrounding areas just by dragging a finger on the gesture-controlled screen.
The Garmin Nuvi 3790 LT user interface is clean and easy to use and keeps the Garmin's signature 'Where To?' and 'View Map' main menu options.
There are a number of features on the device, including Lane Assist, Junction View, Park Position Recall and Safety Cameras, but what is really impressive is the full voice-control.
With full voice control users can now set and follow routes successfully without ever touching the GPS. Basically, the Garmin Nuvi 3790 LT can be activated by speaking a customisable ‘wake-up’ command, e.g. “Hello Suzy”, with the default being “voice command”. Users are then able to choose between a numbers of different options such as, “Find by Name”, “Find Address”, “Find Intersection” and so on. After that users simply respond to the GPS’s prompts, with it asking you to name the town, street and house number where you would like to travel, for example. While no voice system is going to be perfect, the accuracy
