 Cool Form Factor September 2, 2010
PGM (ATL)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is my second Garmin GPS. Finally upgraded the old Nuvi250. The pricing structure of the new 3700 series was hard to figure out, but I knew I wanted traffic. The base model requires an extra antenna power cord that costs over $100. The middle unit includes the traffic antenna for ony $50 more, so that's a no brainer. I think the top model includes voice prompts, which are of no interest to me.
I use GPS all day, every day, for 5-9 routes a day as an HVAC service technician in a major metropolitan city. It is amazingly helpful to have traffic routing and tho you have to trust it and every now and then veto the routing, it is pretty clever.
I love the new slim form factor. It is SO sleek and slim, and it looks cool having my iPhone and Garmin on a twin mount next to each other. The multi touch isn't as slick as Apple's, but who's it?! The resolution is great which really helps when quickly glancing at the unit while driving.
Great unit. I recommend it to others.
 Big Disappointment August 17, 2010

After having the 3760T for over a week, I am really disappointed. First, I think the price is way out of line compared to the features listed on other GPS units at a lower cost. Also, the print showing street names is so small it it hard to see, let alone read. I had a NUVI 350 that was much better in providing larger print. I also had a NUVI 1450 with lifetime traffic that I really loved, but it kept shutting off and I had to return it to the retailer. I would have bought the 1490T but I'm afraid that it's the 1450 only with traffic and the same circuitry and it might wind up shutting off, also. Right now, I'm not a big fan of Garmin units. Msybe I was expecting too much. Right now I think I want to return the 3760T even if it means paying the restocking fee and shipping costs.
 Not worh the $400! August 15, 2010

I decided to buy the 3760 after having the 250W Garmin for several years. I wanted a GPS unit that would warn me of traffic issues and could route me otherwise, and also one that had a sleeker design. The only problem I had with my 250W Garmin was that it took a long time to pick up satellites and then route me to the place that i wanted to go. The 3760 has upgrades like a better design, sleek, can be hand held horizontally or vertically and it does look like an IPhone. You can also use it as a walking navigation system which is neat, although I've always just used this as a car navigation. However, I must stress that one of the other reviewers was correct: It does NOT have any accuracy in letting you know in advance that there is traffic or providing any type of traffic updates. So because I live in NJ, (land known for being a constant parking lot), it never warns me that there is an accident ahead and a lot of traffic and never once has routed me to another way to go to avoid all of the traffic which was one of my main reasons for buying this unit. Now, that being said, I did try to adjust all of the traffic settings on the unit to ensure it was turned on, but it still does not work to update me in advance of the traffic. NOT WORTH $400! I think that it is worth it if the traffic updates would work like it claims to do. I'm debating whether to return it for a new unit or just return it for an older Garmin (like the 765) which everyone claims to work well, and it's cheaper, too because it's an older model. The other features of this unit were fine, it picked up the satellite signal very fast, and it could locate all of the addresses I placed in the unit to travel to, even confusing areas of New York, NJ and Connecticut with no problems.
Updated as of September 5th:
I ended up returning the 3760T unit and only received a $320 refund from Amazon. While I am annoyed I wasn't refunded the full amount I paid for the unit (I paid $400 initially), I decided to suck up the $80 loss and look for a better Garmin GPS unit. I have re-read my review above and have additional comments for anyone considering buying this unit:
Cons:
The unit, just like other Garmin 3700 series units, somehow gets extremely hot when you use it even for just a short while. It almost seems like it is burning and that was alarming because obviously high tech devices should not be so hot to the touch. It is also a very delicate unit, if you do not handle electronics carefully in general (and I know I've dropped my cell phone/ipod once or twice by accident), this is not the unit for you.
Currently:
I ended up buying a Garmin 1490T factory refurbished unit from amazon, and so far, I love it! Once I received it, I opened the amazon box. Since the unit is refurbished, it didn't come in a 'new' box, but it was definitely nicely packaged, and well I don't buy items for the packaging anyway. Just to let any readers know, I have never bought a refurbished product electronically, so I was weary about the effectiveness of the 1490T refurbished, but I read a lot of reviews on Amazon before making my decision and when I found I disliked this unit so much.
Once I received the 1490T, I had to call Garmin Support (unfortunately the wait time was ridiculously long, about 45 minutes until I spoke to someone over the phone, so add in adequate waiting time if you ever want to call Garmin for help). I had to tell them I just bought a 1490T factory refurbished item on Amazon and that I wanted a free upgraded map to be provided
in the unit. I had to provide proof of purchase to Garmin by scanning over my receipt and once Garmin received this via email, I received a 2011 map upgrade for free. It took about 2 hours of time to download from the Garmin website (but this updated map was provided by Garmin for free and was ultimately worth it.) The 1490T has a wide 5 inch screen. Once the new map updates were placed in the unit, the 1490T was great - it showed traffic updates, connected with signal satellites right away and routed me correctly, and it was even able to route me to a baseball stadium in Philadelphia (I didn't have the exact address of the Phillies baseball stadium on hand, but I was traveling to Philadelphia from NYC), and all I had to do was go to the points of interest, sports stadium, and it showed up. I am happy with this purchase because I only paid $178 for this unit, compared to the $400 I paid for the 3760 (minus the $80 I lost since i had to return it). So I recommend going with a refurbished unit like the 1490T if you want something just as good. I would just suggest that once you receive it, to upgrade the maps to the 2011 version and then it should work well. I know it sounds like a pain to do all of the steps above to make the 1490T refurbished unit working well, but it is worth it, in my opinion.
Really great but ... August 15, 2010

This GPS is head and shoulders better than my previous NUVI GPS. It is slim, sleek and has some really great features. I love the builtin bluetooth, the red-light camera alert is very helpful. Much easier to work with the sound. it is far more responsive and the routes are excellent. Much more improved.
However ... periodically it just blanks out ... loses the route and leaves me high and dry. I have to re-start it to get it back. The traffic function is laughable. I'm in the middle of San Francisco and on a regular street and the traffic alert goes off. And, when I'm dead-stopped in traffic it shows no problems. go figure. The security function has yet to work. I am supposed to be able to use it without entering a security code at my home. Hasn't worked yet.
If I had to do it over again, I'd buy a different model. I Love GARMIN but I think they rushed this model.
 3760T--Love it 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, the secondary seller (Car Toys), and shipping sucked big time; Amazon itself did OK.
