The new Garmin Nuvi 3790T vs. Garmin Nuvi 265WT

Released April 19, 2010, the Garmin Nüvi 3790T 4.3-Inch GPS Navigator is the latest version of the Garmin GPS navigation systems. The newest version is not released until August 15, 2010.

Both of these applications combined track traffic patters and help you arrive to your destinations on time.

Also, the Garmin Nüvi 3790T navigation system has speech recognition that allows you to tell it where to go without your hands leaving the wheel. The new Nuvi 3790T is also compatible with your Blue tooth phone and allows you to make calls via voice commands.

The Garmin Nüvi 3790T GPS Navigator not only guides you to your destination, but it digitally projects the landmarks and the terrain in 3-D.

The Garmin Nüvi 265W/265WT 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic has been available to the public for awhile and prides itself on the motto, "Get the big picture and big features for a small price."

The Nuvi 265WT offers preloaded maps as well as directions that denote the route turn by turn and uses street names. It is very simple to use and begins with the questions, "Where to?" and "View Map?." With a touch screen, you can easily mark your destination and voice command will lead you there.

The Garmin nüvi 265W/265WT also has 2-D or 3-D maps, although without the technical advancement of the Garmin 3790T. The Nuvi 265WT is also compatible with Bluetooth, which enables you to make hands free calls using voice command.

The only difference between the two Garmin Nuvi Navigation systems is the Nuvi 3790T has more advanced display capabilities and also has the applications, eco-route, trafficTrends, myTrends, that the Nuvi 265Wt does not.
