That's great news that the traffic trends routing appears to be working well. IMO this was the most important new feature of the 37xx series. Thank you.
Here in Italy instead, i am not able to get any difference (about ETA and routes) on many trips i tried on any days and hours of the day. I guess there are no nutrends data at the moment in this zone :-(. Also I am a little worried to know that Garmin is not using Navteq traffic patterns, but it is using its own data catched by garmin users . . . how many years before that data will become useful to us [ in Italy ] ?? |

Found a strange reactio of the 3790t while planning a trip:
when inside the house, and no GSP signal, I can plan a trip from A to B to C. When outside, with gps-signal, I cannot activate this trip anymore: it requests the first destination, I click A, but no route is in the garmin. Apparently I can only select B or C.
Alternatively I added a point, the place where I am now, moved this point to the first position, and the after clicking 'go' I could indeed select and activate 'A' (which has becone the second step).
Is this normal behaviour?
BTW I also noted that the nuvi does not accept commands when you're wearing gloves (like motorbike gloves). I should consider this as a safety element, since I used to change routes on my GPS while riding the bike. Now, with the 3790t I take of my glove while riding, change the route, and then stop the motorbike in order to put on my glove. Stupid, i know. |

First, gloves: on my BMW F800 ST I find that I can get my nuvi 760 screen to accept input if I'm wearing my light summer gloves. Needless to say, I use this only for very simple, one-press situations, not to drill down in the menus. Not sure if the newer screens are less sensitive.
Re: the strange routing behavior, Are you saying that you create a route from A to C via B, store it, and then outdoors with GPS lock it refuses to follow that route? What it should do is ask if you want to navigate to the beginning of that route if you are far enough from it to require turns. I just did this five minutes ago to test a planned motorcycle ride next week that begins some 300 miles away from my present location.

Anyone care to guess why it failed with up-to-date maps? I bet my Navigon with 2008 maps can find them.
It failed because the Navteq maps do not contain either one of these addresses. It really has nothing to do with the Nuvi.
These addresses also could not be found using the most up to date Navteq maps on Navteq.com or on Microsoft's Streets & Trips 2010 which use Navteq maps. Also the TeleAtlas maps on my TomTom GPS don't have either one of these addresses either.
I have no idea what company Navigon got their maps from but I would be willing to guess that those 2 year old maps don't have these addresses either, if Navteq's newest maps and the Teleatlas 1 year old version don't have them. |

The 37xx screens are capacitive like the iPhone and require skin contact to trigger presses. The other nuvis are all resistive screens which require pressure to trigger presses. |

First gloves: maybe on a 760, but not on the 3790, probalby because of the glass screen? I also use (always) summer gloves.
Strange behavior: what it should do sounds correct, but it doesn't: when gps is located, it says: ready to navigate. When selecting the unplanned trip, and selecting the first step: still same message 'ready to navigate'. I'll do some more tests, but this happened already some more times :-(

The 37xx series uses Trip Planner which is different than what your doing with routes on the 760, although most of us hope that we get a firmware update that will restore our old 'routes' process.
@lucvl - if your using Trip Planner to create your route in the house then it should be saved as an "Unscheduled Route" on the Nuvi. To use that 'Trip' go to Where To? - Trip Planner and the route you created will be displayed with the name that you gave it when it was first created. Select that route and from the destinations list that appears, press GO. The list of destination will appear on the 'Select Next Destination' page and from there you can tap on the first destination in the list and be routed there. |

It works till tapping the first destination, but then it reacts af nothing happened. Tapping the second destination works. |

In any event, having an ETA only to the first point of what is actually a trip to my final destination, does me no good at all.
I planned a route using the trip planner a few days ago. This "feature" annoyed me so much that I killed the route and created a new one using the simple "Where To" feature to add a couple via's. This behaves just like any other Nuvi. Only downside is that you cannot save or edit this kind of route, but that really wasn't an issue for me.
I've reached the same conclusion. Its kind of a pain for me though because my normal home to work route has five via points which routes me off the freeway and through some surface streets. Its a PITA to create this route every day from the "Where To" screen even if I have the via points saved. |

Strange, I have a number of Trip Planner routes and after pressing GO and getting the "Select Next Destination" page, I can select the first place in the list on all of them. Pressing Start after that routes me to the first destination.
I have noticed that with my Trips the default "Select Next Destination" list item is always the second one on the list and that sometimes it will take multiple taps for the first entry to be selected, but I can always select it.

I Can also select the first one, but it has no effect.
Having the first waypoint as the place where I am, the selecting the second one can work as workaround, but strange nevertheless |

That is strange. From the pics above here is what happens if I pick the first item in the list of destinations, 3700 Yellow Point Rd, which is 30Km from my start point and then press START - the route is calculated to the first destination:

| I have my 3790t paired to a LG accolade phone and it works as it should until I take the phone or 3790t out of range and then it loses connection. When I bring it back in range again I do not have to pair the phone again but I have to go to the bluetooth menu and select the phone from the menu in order to reconnect it. I thought it was supposed to automatically reconnect. |

Hi all,
my 3790t just blocked when doing a reset (pressing on/off button for a longer time) and it seems impossible to revive the thing. Any ideas? Noticed this has happened with others too, but con't find the tread again
Any help is welcome

@lucvl: same as NanaimoRick... i can select the first destination of a trip and the nuvi computes the route to it.
I suppose Garmin selects the second destination as default because, most of the times, routes are planned from the current place. But i confirm i may create a route from a start point which is far away from my current GPS fix and choose this destination as the first step of my trip. |
