Garmin nuvi 3760t Owner Reviews Amazon By Biskitshooter, August 4, 2010 Up-graded from our stolen 660 Nuvi to the 3760T. The 3760T works great, nice sized screen, easy to operate. Garmin finally has up-dated their information, our address was changed 12 years ago and it has finally showed up in their maps correctly. The product is top notch By previous 3760, July 8, 2010 The first thing you will notice is the screen; sharp, bright and viewable in almost all conditions. Garmin adopted an iphone design (aka iphone 4) and some of the gui. You can see it landscape or portrait mode depending on how you are holding it. You can also use two fingers to zoom in and out, change perspective and even rotate the map. Though after trying the unit, it was hard going to other gps interfaces. You flip through lists with a finger, and even has some inertia to keep the list moving. The downside is that sometimes it is hard to select, because it tries to move the list. The unit fits into your shirt pocket, but you might want to get a sleeve to keep it from getting scratched. Unlike the iphones, the 3760's screen gets smudged from oily fingers. Something happened to my unit's databases, though I was able to test the maps and navigation. In general it works like most garmin units, but couldn't sort the current route nor saved trips. Not sure whether all my difficulties where related to the problems I was having, but the unit kept taking me close but not to the actual locations. Usually told me that the destination was on the wrong side of the street. Their pos database is one of garmin's biggest advantages, however unlike tomtom which know their poi aren't very extensive, you can't modify the poi or street database from the unit. The closest thing is to report the poi to garmin for removal, or update the phone. This 3760 is supposed to learn about your trips, and use that information to plan a better route. Either I didn't had enough trips, or kept going to different places, so I have no idea if it makes any difference. I was really hoping the 3760 would at least have custom avoids like the 8x5 units. This would be specially useful, for those time the unit keeps directing you through that street that is planned to be built within the next 10 years, or that street they keep working on, or the street happens to be the wrong direction. The gps seems to work well, but in some shadow areas seems to have trouble. At one point I was stopped and the unit kept spinning my location. However, it was accurate and fast.Think that it is rather fast to reacquire a lock, because the unit has a sleep mode. I didn't test it in a challenging place like new york, but maybe other users can share their experiences. Didn't notice it showing my location on the wrong street or side of the access road, like the 765. Once more not sure if it was related to my difficulties, but the unit wouldn't show where the car was parked, nor change modes (it is design to work with cars, on foot and bicycling) when plugged into the car cradle. In general the unit is a nice gps, but garmin left out some feature that would make the user's life easier. It is indeed nice, and did I mentioned the screen? Garmin nuvi 3760T Owner Ratings Amazon
