Well suited as navigation system in vehicles but may also be used as hand held device.

The model GARMIN Nüvi 3790T provides fast automatic route calculation - including multiple intermediate destinations if required - plus visual and voice guidance. The voice-activated navigation feature allows you to talk to your Nüvi 3790T while you keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. The lane assistant indicates the correct path in great detail if there are multiple lanes. There is also a TMC receiver included to incorporate traffic news. The Nüvi 3790T is easy to use, has a brilliant, easy to read, high-resolution color display with touchscreen supporting multi-touch, an extremely sensitive antenna and an integrated worldwide base map. It is very well suited as a navigation system in cars, but you may also use it as a hand held device.
It has 4.9 GB built-in memory to store detailed maps with even more information, such as local roads, hotels, restaurants, public buildings and points of interest. This model comes with pre-loaded maps of all of Europe including 3D building and terrain view, which occupy approximately 2.6 GB of memory including various language files. The remaining 2.3 GB memory is available to store additional detailed maps, waypoint files or pictures.
This model also has a speech computer to announce the names of the roads. The Nüvi 3790T is equipped with a BlueTooth interface to communicate with mobile phones which have the required communication capabilities in order to call car rental offices, hotels, restaurants etc. whose phone numbers are stored on the GPS with a single touch on the screen. It can also act as a hands-free extension set to the phones. In addition, the GPS has a slot for an optional microSD memory module to store additional maps or data and an USB connector to exchange data with a computer. The device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The Nüvi 3790T provides navigation information outdoors, in a car, in a train or even in an airplane (see MapSource examples).

Information for navigation:

Voice-activated navigation:

Example of a dialog between a driver and the Nüvi 3790T:

In order to start the voice-activated navigation you have to speak a particular keyword. The preset word is "Voice Command". You may chose any word or sequence of words to start the voice-activated navigation. GARMIN Nuvi 3790T - Voice Command
Driver: "Voice Command" GARMIN Nuvi 3790T - Voice Command 1

Driver: "Down" GARMIN Nuvi 3790T - Voice Command 2
Nüvi 3790T: The GPS displays more commands
Driver: "Find Address" GARMIN Nuvi 3790T -  Voice Command: Spell city in Switzerland
Nüvi 3790T: It is quite difficult to speak the name of a city in a non-local language in such a way that the GPS recognizes the name. Therefore it asks to spell the name of the city if you travel in a country with a different language.
"Spell city in Switzerland"
Driver: An even easier alternative is most likely to spell the postal code
"Spell postal code"
GARMIN Nuvi 3790T -  Voice Command: Spell postal code in Switzerland
Nüvi 3790T: "What postal code in Switzerland ?"
Driver: "Eight" GARMIN Nuvi 3790T -  Voice Command: 8153 - correct ?
Nüvi 3790T: "Eight - correct ?"
Driver: "One"
Nüvi 3790T: "Eighty-one - correct ?"
 Driver:  "Five"
Nüvi 3790T: "Eight hundred fifteen - correct ?"
Driver: "Three"
(Note: You could also just say "Eighty-one fifty-three")
Nüvi 3790T: "Eighty-one fifty-three - correct ?"
Driver: "Yes" GARMIN Nuvi 3790T -  Voice Command: List of possible postal codes
Nüvi 3790T: The GPS displays a list of all postal codes starting with the given number. The driver has to select the correct number, even if there is a choice of only one item.
Driver: "One" GARMIN Nuvi 3790T -  Voice Command: Spell street in 8153
Nüvi 3790T: "Spell street in 8153"
Driver: "L" GARMIN Nuvi 3790T -  Voice Command: List of possible street names
Nüvi 3790T: "Select a line number or continue spelling"
Driver: "I" - "N" - "D" - "E"
Nüvi 3790T: The GPS tries to auto-complete the name of the street and provides a list of possible street names.
Driver: "Three" GARMIN Nuvi 3790T -  Voice Command: What house number on Lindenstrasse ?

Driver: "Yes" GARMIN Nuvi 3790T -  Voice Command: Start Navigation ?
Nüvi 3790T: "Would you like to begin navigation ?"
Driver: "Yes" GARMIN Nuvi 3790T -  Voice Command: Start new route or add to current route ?
Nüvi 3790T: "Start new route or add to current route ?"
(The GPS will ask this question only, if there is already an active route. This allows to add vias (intermediate destinations) to the current route.)
Driver: "Start new route" GARMIN Nuvi 3790T -  Voice Command: Start navigation
  The GPS computes a route and shows the map with the first driving direction.

Note: You may also speak names of cities and roads and house numbers; Names of points of interest (hotels, restaurants etc.) must be typed in using the keyboard.
