My 3790T experience

Today, I purchased a new unit 3790T and say goodbye to 660.

I have some good feeling about the new friend.

- Fashion design, light, slim.
- Clear image, display, coz by high resolution 800.
- Speed alert, drive test, find it is accurate, even not on the main road.
- Speed meter display is very similar as car speedometer, doesn't like my old one which shown speed is 100km, but car's speedometer already pointed at 105-110km.
- Multi language guide.
- Mygarmin web update indicator.
- More attractions are inside the device, from ATM to Fuel station and Restaurants.
- Most important is that lifetime warranty map update. Limit time only.

so far, very enjoy the new fellow and will test more and share my experience here.

Just upload the .mp3 files for alert, but it doesn't work on 3790T.
Will try to change .mp3 to .wav, hope it will be ok.

Re: My 3790T experience

I purchased the 3790T and after 3 days of use, I shut it down to find it would not restart. I got Bestbuy to replace the unit. Love it so far....

Missed feature of 765T:
Able to select location and then look for at my POI's or the built in ones. Really need this feature.

POI's:
I was able to upload my POI's and search for them, but when I get close to a POI, it doesn't alert me. Any ideas??

Voice Command:
Love this feature. Works great but lacks the ability to search my custom POI's.

I just upload .wav voice alert to 3790T and it works. :lol:

But, icons still do not display on the screen. 3790T doesn't support icons very well.

I use the uploader to upload the following files into 3790T.
red_camera.wav
red_camera.bmp
red_camera.gpx

Moreover, you can zoom in the map by tapping screen twice; and set new location to go by pressing a point on the screen for a couple second until the new address display, then choose to go!

I have loaded on my 3790T

BMP for school zone
speed red cam
Traffic cam
variable speed cam

and do not have a problem ....you just load them on with your POI Loader as you do with your data updates for zone.
Good Luck

The new 3790T is a beautiful piece of hardware, no question. But I wonder why the Garmin people couldn't have the poi show on screen, as they do when you touch the screens on previous models and all other GPS brands!

If I understand you correctly, you can't see the POI BMPs. You have to zoom in quite a bit before the BMPs show up on the screen.

Re: My 3790T experience

I bought my 3790T a year ago. I am very happy with the product except for the software qulity in terms of crashes can be better after a year, I mean more stable. 1 year ago I saw several crashes a month. Now it's better, and I have now flashed the latest SW 4.20, will cross Europe in coming weeks so let's see, how you do Garmin!
