Garmin is founded on the principles of innovation, convenience,
performance, value, and service. Our co-founders Gary Burrell
and Dr. Min Kao display our innovative products in the lobby
of our Olathe, Kansas, world headquarters.
What began as a brainstorming session of a handful of engineers
around a card table in 1989 has evolved into a worldwide
collaborative effort of thousands of colleagues. Garmin's goal,
as it was then, remains simple: To create navigation and
communication devices that can enrich our customers' lives.
Our innovative products span various areas of interest, including
automotive, aviation, marine, fitness, outdoor recreation and
wireless applications.
Garmin is thriving because we take pride in the cooperative
environment that stems from vertical integration — we design,
manufacture, market and sell our products ourselves. During any
given conversation about a product, you're likely to find
engineers, designers, product testers, artists, writers and
salespeople sharing their thoughts.
Investing in innovation has been central to Garmin's success.
The original handful of employees in 1989 grew to a workforce
of 1,000 just 10 years later. That number doubled within four
years and eclipsed 4,000 by 2006. In 2007, Garmin's worldwide
workforce topped 7,000 and showed little sign of slowing amid
expansion in Europe and Asia.
Since Garmin and Navionics joined together, we have been
comparing and combining the best of our data and technology
to produce superior cartography products.
This relationship is a win for every boater, and the result is
the g3 cartography from Garmin, featuring unparalleled coverage
and brilliant detail with integrated Garmin and Navionics content.
Together, we can deliver the best of both worlds to our customers,
with unmatched content, services and innovation.
We don't just design and sell products; we embrace the lifestyles. From aviation to marine, automotive to fitness, wireless solutions to outdoor recreation, Garmin employees are in the air, on the water, in the woods, behind the wheel and on the run. And we're always thinking of ways to adapt and improve. At Garmin, you never know how the next great idea will be born. But you know it's coming soon.
nüvi® 3790T: Experience uniquely personal navigation from the elegantly slim nüvi 3790T. It features a multi-touch glass display, nüRoute™ technology with trafficTrends™ and myTrends™, voice-activated navigation, 3-D building and terrain view, lane assist with junction view, hands-free calling compatibility and subscription-free traffic alerts.
The nüvi is less than 9 mm thick, about the same as a standard #2 pencil. It has a full-glass 4.3-inch diagonal multi-touch display. Dual-orientation capabilities allow you to use the nüvi 3790T either horizontally or vertically, fitting smartly in your hand when walking. Its sleek design also disappears neatly into your pocket or purse. With a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, it's ready to guide you by car or foot.
Smart and good-looking, this uniquely personal navigator comes
with advanced routing capabilities that include trafficTrends™
and myTrends™. There's no subscription necessary and no added
costs; your nüvi 3790T just does it.
With trafficTrends, your nüvi 3790T automatically learns daytime
trends for traffic flow to improve your routes and better predict
your estimated time of arrival based on the time of day and day
of the week.
With myTrends, when you save your regular destinations in your
Favorites, your nüvi will, over time, begin to figure out where
you're going even without your telling it. It provides arrival
times and relevant traffic information, helping you get to work
or your regular destinations on time.
The nüvi 3790T not only tells you where to turn but also listens to your spoken commands. With its innovative speech recognition, you can control the nüvi with your voice, allowing you to keep both hands on the wheel. Simply wake up the nüvi with a customizable voice command and begin speaking menu options that are clearly displayed on the screen. Tell the nüvi "Find Address" and speak an address to start navigating.
Steer clear of traffic with the integrated FM traffic receiver and free lifetime traffic updates. Receive alerts about traffic delays and road construction ahead on your route. Simply touch the nüvi screen to view traffic details or detour around the problem.
No more guessing which lane you need to be in to make an upcoming turn. Lane assist with junction view guides you to the correct lane for an approaching turn or exit, making unfamiliar intersections and exits easier to navigate. It realistically displays road signs and junctions along your route, with arrows indicating the proper lane for navigation.
