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

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. |
 |
|
| Driver: |
"Voice Command" |
 |
| Nüvi 3790T: |
"Speak a command" |
|
| Driver: |
"Down" |
 |
| Nüvi 3790T: |
The GPS displays more commands |
|
| Driver: |
"Find Address" |
 |
| 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" |
 |
| Nüvi 3790T: |
"What postal code in Switzerland ?" |
|
| Driver: |
"Eight" |
 |
| 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" |
 |
| 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" |
 |
| Nüvi 3790T: |
"Spell street in 8153" |
|
| Driver: |
"L" |
 |
| 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" |
 |
| Nüvi 3790T: |
"What house number on Lindenstrasse ?" |
|
| Driver: |
"Eight" |
 |
| Nüvi 3790T: |
"Eight - correct ?" |
|
| Driver: |
"Yes" |
 |
| Nüvi 3790T: |
"Would you like to begin navigation ?" |
|
| Driver: |
"Yes" |
 |
| 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" |
 |
| |
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.
