Garmin nuvi 3790T Voice Commands Demonstration The Garmin nuvi 3790T was judged the Best Luxury GPS by ConsumerSearch.com based on reviews by Consumer Reports, GPS Magazine, GPS Tracklog, PC Magazine, CNET and others. Slim and sleek, the Garmin nuvi 3790T boasts a new feature: it figures out when and where traffic is typically slow, so it can come up with smarter routes. It also figures out the types of routes you typically like andtakes that into account, too. Experts say this intelligent routing really works well, and they're smitten with the nuvi 3790T's iPhone-like form and gorgeous multitouch display.

Garmin nuvi 855 Selected the Best Voice-command car GPS

Written by drbob on December 3, 2010 – 9:41 am -

Experts say voice command makes auto GPS receivers easier and safer to use. Hands-free operation means no more typing while driving -- something GPS makers and safety experts warn against, but some people do anyway. TheGarmin nuvi 855 really can be commanded almost entirely by voice, tests show. A pricier version, the Garmin nuvi 885T (*Est. $420), adds Bluetooth and MSN Direct service, but reviews say these aren't very big advantages. These voice-command units lack free traffic for life and a few of the other useful features on the Garmin nuvi 765T (*Est. $270). The Garmin nuvi 855 can be controlled almost entirely by voice, so you won't have to take your eyes off the road or your hands off the wheel. Experts and users say the voice commands... more

Although it doesn't have the latest high-tech features -- voice-command operation or an… Internet connection -- experts say the nuvi 765T navigates expertly, with the ability to sort multiple destinations into one efficient route and to save your favorite routes. The Garmin nuvi 765T is loaded with extras, including 3-D building view and an MP3 player. This car GPS receiver can even tell you which lane to be in at an interchange or help you find your car in a crowded parking lot. Like its budget-priced counterpart, the nuvi 765T also includes text-to-speech capability (so turns are announced by street name) and... more
