Garmin nuvi 500 Review

Posted on September 7, 2010

In these times when competitive GPS manufacturers constantly vie with functions to differentiate their products to offer from all others, it is hard to believe that the crossover GPS market remained largely untapped. Far more than a year ago, we reviewed Magellan’s CrossoverGPS an outdoor GPS for campers, hikers, and hunters, as a compatible double-in-car navigator. Garmin is just now releasing a competing line of crossover products: the nuvi 500-series.

Garmin’s new nuiv 500 line includes one and a 550 model. Both devices weigh 7.6 ounces, measure 3.4 by 4.2 by 0.9 inches (HWD) and feature a 3.5-inch, 320 x 240-pixel screen. And each model is waterproof to IPX7, which they can in the water to a depth of one meter (3.3 feet) for 30 minutes without using water damage under rated. The 500s even a built-in waterproof speakers ensures that more than sufficient volume for spoken turn-by-turn directions. Only the supplied maps to distinguish the two models. The 500 includes topographical maps and street-level maps for turn-by-turn navigation for the 48 contiguous states, Hawaii and Puerto Rico (sorry, Alaska). The nuvi 550 offers only street-level maps for all 50 states, Canada and Puerto Rico. You can create a DVD with topographic maps you on your own microSD card for 116.65 USD, download, or you can buy one of 11 regional topographic maps on microSD Cards at 86.14 U.S. dollars per direct from Garmin. You can also upgrade one of the two units with the optional BlueChart g2 Vision and Inland Lakes Vision card, which provides detailed information to marine. Since both models have the same list price, which are nuvi 500 is a better deal, especially if you use as an outdoor Navigator, right out of the box plan.

Our tester was a nuvi 500 If you have activated the device, the main screen is almost identical to that of any other nuvi GPS I have seen. You are greeted with the familiar “Where” and “View Map” large icons, along with smaller icons at the bottom of the screen that you can adjust the volume setting and access the setup menu. On top of the screen there is a four-bar GPS signal strength. Tapping the signal bars, not the GPS status, as in some of the older nuvi models, and there is no GPS status option in the Tools menu, so there’s really no way to see how many satellites you track. However, you can determine that display GPS accuracy by checking the compass, without an active route.

In the main menu, a new fashion icon in the middle at the top of the screen. (See the slide show.) A faucet you can between driving, walking, cycling and mode. You can use your routing, map and cursor icon preferences for each of the three modes. For hiking and cycling modes, you have a selection of the street or in the field. For driving, your decisions are faster time, shorter distance, or off-road. In driving mode, you can also include the possibility of your choice avoidance of nine options, toll roads, ferries, HOV lanes, and others.

Since the 500 in-car navigation is similar to that of other nuvi models, such as the 5000′s, I will concentrate on the 500-Offroad-walking mode. Recently I have Garmin Oregon 400t, a device dedicated to the outdoor enthusiasts checked, so I thought it would be interesting to take two devices on a hike to search for some geocaching. Armed with a premium account at www.geocaching.com, I registered and downloaded about a dozen sites geocache, descriptions and “Warnings” on both devices. I went to DeKorte Park in the Meadowlands of northern New Jersey, which has at least four caches.

In either walking or cycling Mode, which adds 500 to display a compass when navigating. Since I had with the Oregon 400t, I back and forth between the map and turned on the compass view en route to each of my geocaches. On the nuvi 500, the four data fields in the compass to the following: speed, set altitude, time and distance to arrival. could Unfortunately, the distance-to-arrival field was never populated, so the only way I see when I approached the geocache, was to view the map, which shows an arrow with my direction and the distance was used. The distance was shown in tenths of a mile until you got under one tenth, one might know a good deal, without, if you or away from the geocache went on foot.

I found that the outdoor-dedicated Oregon 400t has been much more flexible and helpful in the search for caches. Still got the nuvi 500 can find me at the same place and made me my day. Similarly, the 400t has been much better track management. On the 500, you are limited to the current track, can not save one or more segments of a track walk, just on the 400t. For a device with a dedicated walking mode, I expected better track management. On the other hand, for vehicle navigation systems, the 500 is a much better choice than the Oregon 400t.

As a crossover device, the Garmin nuvi 500 is a compromise as well as in-car GPS navigator and an outdoor enthusiast. Garmin chose not to text-to-Speech for the auto-mode include so that the device does not pronounce street names. For me, this is almost a deal breaker, as we begin to see text-to-speech functionality in low-cost devices, such as the Mio Moov 200 and the V7 NAV740. There are also no Bluetooth phone integration, which we have seen in many devices in this price class. Given that the 500 is a device with outdoor enthusiasts modes, I expected a better handling of track logs from her, but maybe I was spoiled by the first revision of the Oregon 400t. Apart from these restrictions, Garmin could just hit a sweet spot for those who demand the functionality of an automobile and outdoor enthusiasts equipment but not the best of breed want to either.

Garmin nuvi 3790t Review

Posted on August 5, 2010

Most GPS devices have a similar form factor used for a number of years – usually housing a resistive touch screen in a bulky plastic. Garmin has against the grain with the nuvi 3790T, sits on an ultra thin design and a high-resolution capacitive touchscreen gone to win consumers.

According to Garmin, nuvi 3790T GPS is the flattest in the world. With dimensions of only 8.7 mm thick and built with stylish brushed aluminum and chrome corners, it is without doubt the sexiest, sleekest and best looking at the GPS unit we’ve ever seen. Despite the thin design, it feels solid and there are no rattles or creaks. The same way as the Apple in the smartphone market leader to build quality and design is considered thanks to the iPhone, we think Garmin can now win similar awards in the GPS space, especially if the company will use this design other products.

The design of the Garmin nuvi 3790T GPS unit is kept in a pocket, so that it is the first navigation system, ideal to use for pedestrians. The nuvi 3790T has its own pedestrian mode and can be used in both portrait and landscape. For use in the car, install the included car window has an external speaker, provide a welcome boost to the nuvi 3790T is a regular volume. Whenever you remove the nuvi 3790T from his in-car cradle, park position recall will save your parking spot automatically, allowing you to navigate it back into pedestrian mode if desired.

In addition to its small dimensions, the best feature of the Garmin nuvi 3790T a glass capacitive touch screen, multi-touch is supported, meaning you can use pinch gestures on the screen to zoom in and out of the map. The process is not as silky as it is on the iPhone or Android smartphones many, but it works quite well. The screen is the brightest and sharpest we’ve seen on a GPS device to date, although the lack of ambient light and its tendency to give fingerprints are to win a nuisance. Garmin is not the first, which went a capacitive touch screen on a GPS device – that honor to belong Navman S300T.

When it comes to ease of use, that’s nuvi 3790T similar to most Garmin GPS devices. A simple and effective interface is supported by a clear and simple map and large, clearly labeled icons in every menu. The bright screen makes spruce up the tickets, but if you use a current Garmin GPS device, it will largely be a familiar experience – and this is definitely a good thing. One feature we love is the snappy acceleration sensor, so that the device is in landscape or portrait use. You can also lock the wallpaper on the screen.

Voice commands are a feature of the new Garmin nuvi 3790T, so you start a route simply by speaking to the device. Use the default “voice command” phrase (which is adjustable), initiate the function and the nuvi 3790T is a comprehensive list of command options display on the screen. to find use of the function to a specific address, is a rather drawn out process, but it is sufficiently accurate and effective for simpler goals, such as found, for example, stored address or recent sites.

The maps are clear and display the surrounding streets, security alerts (Red-light cameras, speed cameras, speed cameras and school zones) are preloaded on the nuvi 3790T includes a lifetime subscription to SUNA Traffic Channel. Unfortunately, the sleek nuvi 3790T means is that you connected to the bulky in-car charger to receive traffic updates (it doubles as an FM receiver for traffic updates needed) need to build. A cool feature is the 3D modeling and urban terrain, while the built-in Bluetooth means you can use your phone hands-free pair. As with most GPS units, if the built-in microphone has questionable quality for calls.

Garmin’s Real View Advanced Lane Guidance is resumed, shows a picture of the road and its surroundings, together with signs identical to those used in the real world. This feature is particularly useful on busy highway and interchanges. The nuvi 3790T also offers two new routing functions – and traffic trends myTrends. traffic trend is similar to TomTom IQ routes technology and calculates routes based on historical traffic data are based, while myTrends remembers your most frequent destinations and be automatically entered to predict their arrival time and the most effective route without the user entering a destination.

We found the 3790T to nuvi favorite routes with main roads rather than streets, which are often a little faster to calculate. We have also found that both the routing and the time it takes to win and maintain a GPS signal more slowly than other devices from Garmin is that we have tested. We do not know whether this is due to the constraints in the attempt, a GPS chip inside such a thin device fit involved. It has no great influence on the overall experience.

The Garmin nuvi 3790T also provides the “ecoRoute” function. This function can report a fuel screen and select an economical route. After entering the cost of fuel and your car’s rated fuel consumption, the nuvi 3790T provides a detailed report on the cost of fuel used, carbon footprint and your average fuel consumption based on your travel.

The planning is fairly simple; sites, either by adding “favorites”, addresses, LAT LON coordinates, intersections, recently found locations, cities, using the map or points of interest. Insert either the start or end point and then build from there. The magic can come after a time of entry. If you’re smart, you can figure out the order of things, and if not, you can rely on the Garmin that it will automatically do this by pressing the “best points” to. In my testing the unit, the points that are fairly well distributed interfere, and some routes, the city based on one-way streets, and so had a few thrown in. It performed well. The calculation of a route with multiple stops for a while has to be calculated, but overall it is a good feature to have.
