This review touches on several main features of the new Garmin 3790. Spoiler alert. It's awesome.

Thanks! Personally, not one of my best reviews but I'm glad you found it useful!!
No kidding! I did this quick, and would have replaced it with a better one if not for the large views! I don't do it on my better videos especially where I record audio separately
@NguyenEmpir3 Agreed. I don't know why they make anything with resistive touch screens anymore. Capitative looks much better. I'd buy something like this just for the looks compared to most other GPS that are available.
Like... just while in use? The driving 3D isn't that crazy. Just gives the map depth.
I have owned MANY!!! diff. GPS and yes the Garmin nuvi 3790 is the best yet going on 4yrs and still ticking!
@gene2u It is. The screen protector amplifies it though. With the cost of capacitive screens right now, you'd think they could afford to make more of their GPS units have them.
@BikeretteORen It's going to depend. I have worked with Garmin, Tom Tom, Magellan, and several for the iPhone (with and without an extra receiver). It doesn't take much more than most. In a few situations it took a bit, but once connected it was extremely fast, especially at recalculating. Other times, especially if you turn it on in the same location you turned it off, it was fine. It took maybe a minute at most, but that's all.
I think the 3590 LMT is newer. Mine was a LMT model as well which includes the lifetime maps and traffic, so in that respect they are they same, but yours does have the newer software which packs a few new features. You can see them on the garmin site. Other than that they are pretty similar but yours has a newer body design.
@gene2u Thanks. I was working with a new camera and no tripod. I kept slipping. This one was definitely a hard review. It is so slim and has so many little things about it that put it above the others. I have had 5 Garmin GPS' over the past few years and this is the best one I have had.
Now that I have had some time, I have noticed a few minor issues. Sometimes it takes a bit to acquire satellites even when in the open. It also had some issues when trying to update.
Hi I would like to know, if I could enter city by zip code instead of typing the city name, like on Megellan GPS? Thanks
@gene2u Well, my main reason for getting this was the capacitive touch screen. The old school resistive ones that are common in most GPS I couldn't deal with. You had to add a decent amount of pressure, and the edges weren't very receptive. The capacitive like that is on iPods, iPhones and the like works much much better.
Yes I would! Or the new model! I have had some issues with traffic like.. not showing up, but I've been using it daily for the past months which is more than usual! It's been really good though! I leave the office at like 6, and it will reroute me if the highway is completely stopped up. Super useful.
The T is for traffic. The GPS unit is the same as the LM model, they just include the traffic power adapter with the same unit. They don't bother making a different one with the T printed on it.
@magicmn717 I decided to test a stylus with my nuvi 660 after our discussion here. It's a big improvement, actually, but it's nowhere near as responsive as a capacitive screen, so you're right. Also, not at all convenient to have to grab and handle a stylus to manipulate the GPS. Might be worthwhile when practical, though.
Size generally doesn't matter. They only tested up to I believe 32, but you could use pretty much any size.
@cadnyc I actually still love this thing. They did recently come out with new models, but via software update, several of those were added to this model. Either way, it still bests almost anything on the market. Traffic can be spotty at times, but better performance than I've had from other competing units.
I know! It's what happens when I don't take my time to record the audio after the fact!
i just orderd the garmin NUVI 3590 LMT WHAT IS NEWER AND WHAT ONE IS BETTER?
I'm not 100% but about 350. I used coupons at Best Buy.
@whatthefluk I purchased it from Amazon.com. It's a great case.
@adamnordin1 yes. I believe so.
I have the 3790LMT and have been fairly happy with it. Recently it's started doing a series of rebooting while I'm driving a route. Curious if anyone has any ideas on why that's happening and how to stop it? Customer Support can't offer any ideas: (
i just got my garmin 3590LMT but on the back of my garmin it saids nuvi 3590LM why dont it have LMT
charging through usb is possible?
@magicmn717 Wow, that's a lot of Garmins. I was interested in the 1390 LMT as well, but I read some not very flattering reviews on it, so I think I'll stick with the 660. It's the devil I know, and I'm used to it's issues. Some people claim to prefer their older version nuvis more than the ones they bought to replace them.
I hope they sort out the issues with the 3790 for you. It really is a gorgeous device.
Decent review. I found the title on the left portion of the video distracting after awhile, but that's all right, I appreciate you putting in the time to do a review. I'm tempted to get one, but I already have a perfectly good old Garmin 660 I barely use.
The 3790 is very feature rich, so it's hard to touch on every single point, isn't it? It really is a good-looking device, like an ipod touch or iphone. Very neat looking. Maybe I'll pick up an LMT version in a couple years on the cheap.
would you still recommend this gps? hows the traffic on it??
Stop saying Umm FFS
I think you can!
@007Jaw umm lol
can you do a video of what it looks like if u drive down the highway in 3D
Great review.... You do tend to say "Umm" a bit much though... Thanks for the info.
what size can you put in the micro sd card slot.
my left ear is well educated now
the 3790 is slow, not accurate no adjustments for a faster route, will shut off, bottom line its junk!
What is better?
An excellent review. Thanks for this.
Lol lmao, mines too haha.
@magicmn717 Ah, yes, that is a big improvement. The nuvi 660 drives my wife nuts since she has to press so hard. I thought it was just because I have a fairly rigid screen protector on it. I guess it's really because of the resistive screen.
I own a 3790LMT.
Ammm ommm ammm ommm ammm ommm ammm
you are eating your words buddy.
whats the difference between that and 3490lmt?
