| Preview - Garmin's nuvi 3790T |
PREVIEWED - Garmin nuvi 37xx Series (3750, 3760, 3790T)Bright Capacitive 800x480 screen - nuRoute - Terrain Rendering - "iPhone Like" Design 
1. INTRODUCTION
I went to the nuvi 37xx launch in Paris on May 6th, and although I must admit I had my doubts when it was announced in April, after using it for a few minutes, it's safe to say this new nuvi is all that it's cracked up to be and more! Faster, brighter, lighter for a start.
The hardware has a definite "wow" factor, think a thinner iPhone with a larger screen, hence it's nickname "the blade". Before we look at the details, here is a video showing the vastly improved map scrolling with a pinching/expanding multi-touch stress test:

The Garmin nuvi 3790T is a very impressive device, because of its sleek hardware that's already earned it the "The Blade" nickname, but also because of it's sheer responsiveness unseen on a GPS unit so far. To navigate the menus but particularly for the map display while navigating or scrolling the map in exploring mode with "pinching" and "expanding"...and the software isn't even final..and this is with a screen resolution that's been bumped up 3x from 480x272 to 800x480. Speed issues had become a problem on Garmin GPS systems since the 765 and recent TomTom GPS systems have them to (x40, x50 and even the new GO 1000 whose software isn't final either)). There are exciting new features as well (terrain rendering, stealth voice control, nuRoute, etc...) so these excellent first impressions will now have to be confirmed on the road, sometime in early June hopefully!
