| Posted by cdmacomm Garmin 3790T is HOT Hi all, just picked up a Garmin 3790T and found right away that the unit gets extremely hot especially on the right hand side of the back of the unit, where the battery is located, I presume. Any of your units also get this hot? Also my screen capture button can it be re located away from the top right hand side of the screen where it blocks the battery level meter? Al |

| Posted by caesar RE Hot 3790t Hi Depends what you mean by hot...which could range from normal to a problem requiring a return. My 3790t gets quite warm, especially when using at home on the desk transferring files. Obviously it is designed to sit on the stand with air free to circulate...not flat on a desk. I believe any problem in first 10 (14?) days entitles you to a changeover rather than a repair. Best to take it to the shop for an opinion. |

| Posted by andreas4 Route calculation times I recently bought a 3790t in Germany and didn't expirence any temperature problems but my impression is that the recalculation of the routes is VERY slow. After you changed your device how long it take until you get a new route direction in the city? |
| Posted by cdmacomm calculation times Hi, one unit is 'lost' a lot and needs to re calculate often ( I will be returning it tomorrow ) this unit also shows a speed of between 4 km/hr to 8 km/hr when standing still. My other replacement unit works ok but slow. When switching on in the morning whilst driving it can take up to 5 minutes to be ready to use. My old C320 works within 20 seconds. Recalculations whilst driving at 60/70km is nearly impossible to use. The more I use this thing the more I dont like it. GARMIN PLEASE FIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Posted by johmazz2006 3790t If you are on your third 3790 I would be asking for a full refund and get a different model. Have had the 765 Nuvi for 18 nearly months and no problems at all related to the GPS, only mapping, which is supplied by Sensis. |
