Product shelf life of GPS devices is slowly but surely shortening over the last few years. Market competition
have forced manufacturers to put in more effort in R & D. One such effort by Garmin has culminated in its new
‘nuvi 3700 series’.
Among the top in this series is the Garmin nuvi 3760T. It comes with many new features, a
gorgeous new design and subscription free traffic alerts. Garmin touts it as the thinnest Portable Navigation
Device (PND) in the market.
It is pretty obvious that the new Garmin nuvi 3760T has its design influences from Apple’s popular line of
products. It has a totally flat 4.3” capacitive touchscreen, which is a first in any Sat Nav
device. The multi-touch glass display is housed in a handsome brushed metal casing. It is solidly built and
measures just 8.95mm (0.35") thick. Looks alone will sell this product!
With Dual orientation capabilities you can use the nuvi 3760T either horizontally or
vertically. This makes it truly portable, allowing you to hold it in your hands like a phone. It also fits neatly
in your pocket or purse.
It comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery allowing for up to 4 hours of portable use.
New Features
Garmin has added a host of advanced navigation capabilities like nüRoute™ Technology that
includes trafficTrends™ and myTrends™:
With trafficTrends, the nüvi 3760T automatically learns daytime trends for traffic flow to
improve your routes and better predict estimated time of arrival based on time of day and day of week. You get
free updates every time you connect your device to myGarmin.
With myTrends, when you save your regular destinations in your “Favorites,” your nüvi
3760T will, over time, begin to figure out where you’re going even without your telling it! It provides time of
arrival and relevant traffic information. So whether you’re driving to and from work or a regularly scheduled
weekly event, your nüvi 3760T will help you get there on time.
The new capacitive touchscreen makes the nuvi 3760T function like an iPhone. You can
slide, pinch, and tap the screens with your fingers, just like an iPhone.
Navigation
The interface is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. Upon power up it greets you with 2 simple options:
"Where To?" and "View Map." Touch the color screen to easily look up addresses and services and get voice-prompted,
turn-by-turn directions that speak street names to your destination.
It comes preloaded with detailed City Navigator® NT street maps and nearly 6 million
POIs. And with HotFix® satellite prediction, the nuvi 3760T takes less time to calculate
your position.
You also have Lane Assist that helps to guide you to the correct lane to an approaching turn or
exit. This feature helps to make unfamiliar intersections and exits easy to navigate safely. It displays road signs
and junctions on your route along with arrows that indicate the proper lane for navigation.
The nuvi 3670T comes preloaded with comprehensive preloaded street maps coverage for USA, Canada and
Mexico.
Subscription-Free Traffic Alerts
With the integrated FM traffic receiver you get subscription-free Traffic Alerts about traffic
delays and road construction for the useful life of your Garmin. You will be able to view traffic details or detour
around the affected area.
