Cutting Edge Technology Of The Garmin Nuvi 3790T.

By Kandace Rebecca Xavier


How you would apply the Garmin Nuvi Gps is something to think about as we discuss the unit in the following article. If you are looking to purchase a Navigation device, Global Positioning System and aren't familiar with the technology, then you have things you need to know. The first question to ask yourself is why you want it and what you want to use it for. There are some cars that already have Navigation device built-in, but this is not a standard option for many cars. So do you plan to travel cross country or regionally or are you wanting one that is hand-held and used mainly for walking? You will be able to narrow the field by answering these important questions.

When it comes to consumer electronics, the ergonomics of the device must be considered. The Nuvi 3709T can be easily carried in a shirt pocket and has the Pedestrian navigation mode which meets a new marketing demand. Because it is too early, we don't know if Garmin's latest release is a hit or miss.

Advanced speech recognition is a feature of this Navigation device because these days consumers are demanding voice activation and control.

There are so many features available that we can't cover them all in detail. Various software for making just about any kind of calculated conversion you would ever need.

Voice response isn't anything new in the Nuvi 3790T. The speech recognition engine software can be customized to learn to recognize your voice though. As time goes on we are seeing a degree of "learning" capability in intelligent devices. You can teach this unit to recognize your voice and with a special command wake it up or activate it. All you need to do once it is awake is to say the particular menu command and choices that are on the display. Just let your Navigation device buddy know where you want to go once you have decided, but you will still have to do the driving-sorry. One can really appreciate the Garmin Nuvi Gps with its updated ergonomics, features and the excellent ability it provides. Perhaps Garmin is reaching out to capture more of the population of female Navigation device users with the new very low profile design. But either way, of course we know men appreciate a more compact unit that is easier to carry, as well.

Needless to say, there are plenty of ways to use your GPS unit. The most popular way is in your automobile. And one of the coolest vehicles recently has been the Kia Rio. If you'd like to drive a Kia Rio, consult your local automobile dealer.

Fishing GPS : The Brand New Fish Locater

By Johnny Striker


Drivers around the world have benefited from using GPS units for a long time. Now it is time for us anglers to benefit from these amazing devices. The truth is, many fishermen have been using them for a while now. They seem to be complicated, and if you have not used one before, I can understand when someone is nervous about buying one. What do you need to consider before you take that plunge?

In all honesty, the GPS system is somewhat difficult to operate initially. But with its accurate locating capacity and conveniences, it is slowly gaining popularity. With this device you can mark underwater structures, contour breaks, river patterns, creek channels and some spots where you have had some great luck fishing. With the help of the GPS you can return to the exact same location later whenever you want. The LCD displays the information. Latitudes, longitudes, surface speed, altitude, surface speed, sunrise and sunset, as well as an 'accuracy warning system' are displayed on the device.

What is even better about GPS is that fog, darkness; bad weather does not affect its accuracy. It is even possible to call someone in cases of emergency and they would know where exactly to find you with the help of the coordinates. The device also has a 'way point capability' function one can record some waypoints with the help of which you can locate good fishing spots and even find your way back home.

While you are busy catching fish, take a minute to log each and every fish you catch. That way, you can easily return to the exact areas where you caught fish. The GPS unit allows you to study the topography of the terrain. Now you can return to the areas that will yield more fish in the future.

Make sure you get out your manual, and learn all the features. If your GPS unit features a chart plotter, it will give your exact location that is relative to the nearby landmarks. It will also give the water depth, making it easier to identify possible underwater pools full of fish. This is also a good time to learn your "lat" and "long". Given enough time, you will get good at reading these.

I know there are some old school anglers out there that will never replace their paper maps. My father is one of those types. After I showed him how easy and efficient my fishing GPS unit is, he changed his tune. They are not that complicated to use, and the learning curve is not that steep. The benefits completely outweigh all the cons.

A price of a GPS device range from $80 to some several thousands however the accuracy does vary with price. Some consider it a luxury while some others would not leave home for a fishing trip without it. After all you can get all the information you need just with a touch of a button!

Navigational Tools Now Enabled With GPS

By Valerie Lawrence


Some Portable Digital Assistants (PDAs) are now Global Positioning System (GPS) enabled. GPS is global navigation satellite system (GNSS). This has been established as well as managed by the United States Department of Defense which in turn is under the United States Air Force 50th Space Wing. Civilians all over the world have been permitted to use GPS freely. Installation of PDAs with GPS receivers will enable it to transmit radio signals to a collection of 24 to 32 medium earth orbit satellites. This will show precisely the location of the PDA. GNSS became totally functional in 1995. GPS system is now increasingly being used in navigation whether over land, sea or in air. It can be applied as a tool for surveillance, tracking, land surveying, map-making, commerce and scientific use. Handsets with GPS were first introduced by the late 1990s.

GPS has been installed in a number of mobile phones by the mobile phone manufacturers. GPS enabled PDAs began to be extensively used in sports for calculating the distance, time and speed. It is also used in navigation. You could carry out precise and quick customized directions and maps, planning of trips, tracking of movement, and detailing of journey. Route Planner application designed by Palmtop Software assist in detailing route maps and travel plan too. It requires indicating the starting as well as the destination point or it can be done by pointing out in the map and clicking the route you wish to take. Realtime automobile began to use the GPS enables PDAs. New cars came fitted with the device. The road conditions, roadside mobile radar guns, traffic conditions and dynamic routing were conveniently displayed.

Newer models with added features and technologies as touchscreen and GPS have made the PDA market an exciting place. The popular PDA models in the market include Palm TX, the PalmOne M515, Pharos GPS 535e Traveler, Palm Z22, Palm TX Handheld, HP iPAQ 111 Classic Handheld, Nokia N810 Portable Internet Tablet and Palm Tungsten E2 Handheld.

PDAs are applied in very many spheres of human activity. It is deployed in health care. It is used in assisting the recording of symptoms and further diagnosis of diseases. It also suggests the line of treatment as well as assists in selecting drugs. PDAs can be used by students in the field of education for dictionaries, digital note taking, spell-check, word processing, digital planning and storage of e-books and their use amongst others.

A lot of companies in the PDA market have been producing GPS enabled PDA products. As a result, customers are having a difficulty in selecting but one thing they should take note is that it's all about quality.

What's New About The 3790T Global Positioning System By New Garmin Nuvi?

By Kandace Rebecca Xavier


Nuvi 3790T Navigation device. The Nuvi 3790T shows the focus of Garmin in updating and expanding from the technological perspective as well as design. Many hand-held electronic devices already have the "ultra-thin" style, so we feel they are a bit behind in their design. Garmin did make a good move on this however because it is what the consumers wanted. So we are always asking ourselves how much better can bells and whistles get because they do always seem to be improving.

It's simply amazing that a Global Position System unit was design engineered with the concept of "sexy' in mind. The consumer electronic market is a huge one, and Garmin has been smart to pay attention to the likes and dislikes as well as the desires of that market. Take a look at a #2 pencil and you will see the same slim profile cut of the Nuvi 3790T. Of the many very cool features, one is the devices ability to display either in horizontal or vertical orientation which makes it very convenient to use.

The demand for voice activation and control by consumers is growing and this Navigation device does include advanced speech recognition.

Recent years have shown a real push to make products more earth friendly. The ecoRoute feature on the 3790T allows customers to map out the most fuel efficient routes to reach their destinations. You can also use this feature to determine how much fuel your vehicle is consuming. In order to give you this information you'll only need to add two small details of your own. This feature also allows users to determine a fairly reliable estimate of fuel costs for their trips too.

Processing and voice recognition in the 3790T are a couple things that have been reported to out perform other Garmin Navigation device units. Some reports on minor decreases in the performance in other areas of speech recognition have come in too. We think there could also be differences due to many reasons such as individual differences among people, etc.

Of course, everybody must have a Navigation device in their car. And one of the very most common automobiles to have nowadays is a Kia Rio. If you'd like the winning mixture of a Kia Rio along with a Global positioning system, check with your neighborhood automobile dealer.

The GPS locator map is a form of GPS unit that shows a map like a visible guide combined with the thorough directions to various locations. To better know the GPS locator map, you should know how GPS functions, the history of GPS, together with the uses and advantages of a GPS locator map.

GPS locator maps, similar to Magellan, Nextar, and also Garmin GPS, are currently very widely used for personal, commercial, and military uses. What is actually a GPS locator map and how could it be of use to you? Here are additional information about GPS locator maps for your information:

How exactly Global Positioning System operates

The Global Positioning System, often known as GPS, is a class of twenty seven satellites revolving throughout the Earth with 24 of these satellites functioning. The remainder three satellites are actually extras in case one operating satellite crashes. These types of functional satellites, weighing approximately 3,000 to 4,000 pounds each, are solar-powered and orbit throughout the Planet at more or less 12,000 miles or simply 19,300 kilometers, making a couple of full rotations everyday. The path of these great satellites is placed in a way that anytime and also everywhere, you will find four or five satellites visible in the Planet's sky. The work of a Gps receiver, like a GPS locator map, is to locate at least four of the satellites, find the range to each of the satellites, and make use of this data to look for its own place.

The background of Gps

The Gps was made and also used by the U.S. government typically for military applications during the early 1970s. It was announced completely functional in 1995. Previously referred to as the NAVSTAR, or Navigation System having Timing and also Ranging, it was used to provide steady, all-weather navigation information for military functions. At this time, the U.S. government's Department of Defense still manages and preserves the Global Positioning System, but it is now accessible to the public free of charge, provided you have a Gps receiver.

Applications and advantages of a Gps locator map

Similar to other GPS device, the Gps locator map offers you correct location data.

Learn About The Versatile And New New Garmin Nuvi 3790T Gps.

By Kristal Sagakawa Xavier


The amazingly small profile of the New Garmin Gps made some eyebrows go up because of its super small profile. Yet, this is a full-function Navigation device unit that can easily handle just about any need for the average consumer. This type of micro-design has been an ongoing trend for several years and is certainly popular and not only in Navigation device units. In fact, you could say that Navigation device devices were just a little behind the times in the ultra-slim design department. At this point, there are so many features and functions crammed into a Navigation device that it is difficult to imagine what will exist in three or five years. But the Nuvi 3790T may have started a new trend that only time will tell what is on the horizon.

A new feature we have noticed is the capacitive glass variety of touchscreen where you can use a pinching action to zoom in either direction. Android or iPhone users might find that the Nuvi 3790T multi-touch function is not as good as their phones. By that we mean the effect does not seem to be as completely smooth and seamless; however, it does not detract from the manner of operation or effect. A minor flaw is the lack of light sensors that adjust the light in ambient lighting conditions. On the other hand that is aptly compensated for by the very high quality of the screen display. Even though there have been some serious upgrades and improvements, the new design will still provide a familiar Navigation device experience for long-time Gps users. Map reading might have been a problem on older Garmin units but their latest offering has changed all that. But the device remains extremely simple to use. While other brands are well-known for their complexities, Garmin remains committed to delivering a simplistic Navigation device experience. Having a choice in wallpaper is another small upgrade that gives people a warmer, fuzzier feeling about this latest Garmin unit.

Of course you can take the Nuvi 3790T anywhere you want which includes your vehicle. Another important note is that is fantastic to use while walking too. Its slender shape and design make it perfect for this purpose. A feature this unit offers is called Pedestrian Mode. There are some nice features that make it great to use in your car or truck that Garmin was smart to include. A mount for the window as well as audio capabilities are standards that are offered with the Nuvi 3790T that makes it easy to use while driving. However, what is also pretty cool is the Park Position Recall function which makes the unit remember where you parked your vehicle. Now instead of wandering around that huge mall parking lot trying to remember where you parked your car, you can use the Nuvi 3790T to navigate you back to it. Even though the Nuvi 3790T sports a radical new thin design profile, it still provides a familiar experience for those who have used Garmin Gps units, before. Map reading might have been a problem on older Garmin units but their latest offering has changed all that. This device is one that it easy to use that's one thing that hasn't changed with the upgrade. That aspect has not changed with their latest model which is most welcomed. Other features such as selecting your choice of wallpaper may appeal to some, as well, which is another way to add your own personal touch.

Can using a Navigation device get any more convenient? Lane assistance navigation is probably best when you are on the open freeway or interstate. It can be nerve wracking to be in the middle of the congested city rush hour traffic. If you have a turn coming up, the Nuvi 3790T will inform you which lane you need to be driving in. This is great for those who are navigation challenged as well as others because it appears to take all the confusion out of driving. What you can expect on the display is a real life image of where you are located.

There have been reports that the 3790T outperforms other Garmin Gps units in certain ways such as with voice recognition and processing.

Methods Of Asset Management

By Owen Jones


How does one go about taking care of one's assets - one's worldly belongings? Well, the majority of people keep their money in a bank, put the jewellery in a strongbox and insure the remainder. But insurance is not really taking care of your possessions, is it? It is taking care of yourself so that you do not have replace them with your own money.

In the old days, and even now, I suppose in some countries, you would employ a boy to watch over your sheep or cattle or bring them in at night for fear of lions, wolves or thieves. These were an early kind of security guard and indeed wealthy people had and frequently still do have private body guards.

What if you had a large office with a hundred laptop computers - laptops because employees had to do field work as well? How would you keep track on all those? A car is another good example and construction site machinery is being stolen all the time even from under the noses of (or with the help of) private security companies.

So what can you do? Invest in dogs? That works sometimes, but they can be poisoned. Get video cameras and passive infra-red movement sensors linked to a control centre? That works and many firms and private houses have it, but it is very costly.

As a cheap alternative, the police were handing out free pens in the UK, which wrote in invisible ink. The idea was to put your postcode and house number. This ink became visible under a certain kind of light. That is all very well if you have a suspect or found property.

Bar codes are not realistic, the pen is better. It all comes back to insurance or surveillance.

However, there is another technique that is becoming affordable. The concept has been around for about 85 years, but it was too expensive to use on anything less significant than an airplane or a battle tank.

I am talking about radio frequency identification or RFID for short. The idea is the same one that aircraft have been using since during the Second World War - a transponder emits precoded information in response to a demand from an RF reader.

Details regarding ownership and details of what the item is can be written to an RFID chip also known as a tag and the tag can then be taped inside the item that it is to safeguard.

There are two varieties of tag: the passive and the active. Passive tags will only respond if information is requested by a reader, whereas an active tag is always broadcasting.

Many entrepreneurs use RFID tagging to keep track of their assets. In the instance of livestock, most cattle are tagged these days. Most big offices have their IT devices tagged as well and we all know that clothing stores have been tagging garments for years, although maybe you did not know what that button was that they were taking off at the checkout.

Individuals are already tagging their dogs, cats and cars and it will not be long before these asset management techniques will be used extensively at home as well. Insurance companies may demand on it.

What Is The Point Of An Auto Navigation System?

By Owen Jones


Maps are essentially flawed. By the time the surveyors have finished and the data that they have collected has been mapped out and the printers have published the map and sent it to the distributors and they have sold it to the shops and you have decided to buy one, it is out of date. Sometimes years out of date

Another difficulty is that it is impossible to read a map and drive carefully at the same time. You cannot read a map and look out of the windshield at the same time. So, you either need a co-pilot who can read a map, or you have to stop repeatedly and memorize a small part of the map. That is all right, people did it that way for a hundred years or more, but now there is a better way.

GPS satellite navigation systems have been around for a long time. At first they were only utilized by aircraft and ocean liners. As the price fell, yachting people could afford them; later still long distance lorries had them, then very expensive cars and now practically all cars.

In spite of the occasional story of someone driving into a river in the dark, because the driver believed the sat nav and the sat nav did not know that the bridge had been taken down, the auto navigation system has been a fantastic success.

I am sure that family Sunday outings are far happier now that the spouse does not have to do the map-reading; lone travellers do not have to stop to get their bearings and lone female drivers are more secure because they do not have to stop to ask their way.

Being lost at night or having broken down in the countryside or even taking a wrong turn into a violent district of town is frightening. Even if you have your cell phone to call the breakdown service, you have to know where you are and if you are in a rough district of town by mistake, you do not want to stop to ask the way and you certainly do not want to go farther off the beaten track.

Then there are the detours that we want or have to make because of natural catastrophes, break-downs, traffic jams and roadworks teams. Sometimes you will get advanced warning on the local radio of trouble spots up ahead, but if you do not know the area, there is not much you can do about it. Unless you have an auto navigation system.

I know many people who do not use their auto navigation system every time they get into their car and that is how it should be for those people, but it is like insurance, it is nice to have it when you require it.

No-one has to have an auto navigation system to go to the local shop, but it is very nice to take the scenic route the next time you go out of town to visit a relation. Perhaps you always take the same route when you visit your Aunty Lil, but with an auto navigation system you can vary your journey to pass local attractions.

RFID Tags In Clothing

By Owen Jones


You have heard of RFID tags, right? The technology that is in most ID cards so admin that or security knows whether staff are in the building or not? Well they are being put into far more than ID cards these days.

They are going into the clothing of a lot of retail stores and even behind the labels on some tin cans. The situation is sure to mushroom.

They are the new generation of bar codes, but unlike bar codes, they can talk back and they can be so minute that you do not even know that you are wearing one. I say 'wearing one' because at the moment they are mostly being put into clothing, but the day is not far away when they will be under every label of every can of food that you buy.

Some stores have even got that far already. Look next time you visit the superstore. Is the check-out clerk scanning a bar code or just scanning 'something'? If there is no bar code to scan, they are looking for the RFID tag.

However, if you had a bar code on your new top, you would take it off before wearing it, but an RFID tag is so small and so well hidden, that you may never discover it.

Why would that matter, you may be asking yourself? Well, we are told that it does not matter; that people who do worry are just being unreasonable, but others perceive it as the thin edge of the wedge.

You see, in a city, you are never that far from an RFID reader, so really, if you walk past one, your shirt could be crying out: 'He bought me from Wal-Mart'. It could also be saying: 'I only cost 4.99'.

If you do not see that as a problem, all well and good, but what if you are walking down the high street and a loud speaker from a shop shouts at you: 'People who buy their shirts from Wal-Mart normally love Wimpey Burgers!'.

You may think that that is a coincidence or you may have forgotten that you bought that shirt from Wal-Mart, but the tag sewn into your shirt will never forget and it will inform every RFID reader that asks it. Is that fair? You have now become a walking advert.

Of course, RFID tags were not brought in for this reason. They are used purportedly to help track merchandise from manufacturer to consumer - point out. They are very useful for tracing stock in a warehouse, but the fact is that these live beacons of their provenance are not switched off at the point of sale. If they were, perhaps there would not be such a hoo-hah being raised about them.

Is there a reason to be worried about these tags? Probably not, but then that does not mean that there never will be. What if you were on vacation somewhere and there was a smart bomb linked to an RFID scanner hidden waiting for an American and your shirt was screaming out: 'I am a shirt. I was bought for 4.99 at Wal-Mart, store ID 0001, New York, USA'?

GPS Car Navigation System: Trying To Get The Right One

By Owen Jones


In order to work out which GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) navigation system (also known as sat nav) is suitable for you, you first have to be certain on what you want to get out of the set-up. Will you be utilizing your GPS auto navigation system just in your car or will you be requiring to use it to go cycling, hiking or boating? Another question is, whether you already have a laptop or palm computer or not.

There are dedicated GPS auto navigation systems for every situation and some are flexible enough to cover a couple of uses. The best systems are those that are devoted to doing just one job. In this category, you have the stand-alone vehicular GPS navigation systems. These are either cut into the dashboard or mounted on it or sometimes even onto the windscreen.

One good piece of advice, if you are buying a new car on finance is to have the sat nav installed by a third party or to pay the garage cash for the sat nav and its installation. If you have the price of the GPS auto navigation system put on the finance contract, you will end up paying a great deal more for it.

On the other hand, you could install the device yourself. I do not mean that you should cut holes in your instrument panel yourself, but you can buy mounting packages that use powerful transparent rubber suckers. They will hold the screen securely, as long as you check them from time to time to make sure that the suckers are still holding.

You can get just as good a service from a GPS navigation system running on your laptop and the screen will almost certainly be larger that the normal sat nav screen as well. Your laptop will run off batteries or an in-car adapter and the software will run within the laptop.

This is an outstanding alternative if you already own a laptop or were thinking of getting one. The laptop will perform its normal tasks as a computer and double as a navigation aid with the additional bonus that you do not have to leave it in the car as another excuse for a thief to break in.

The cheapest alternative in the portable sat nav market is the portable or hand-held unit. However, the screens can be rather small and the directions may be given either in pictures or by voice, not all hand-held sat nav systems present both options at the same time.

If you want a GPS auto navigation system but you are finding them a little pricey, you could always wait a while, because prices are dropping all the time. You could also check out online stores such as Amazon and eBay.

Remember, that the worst thing you can do if you are thinking about costs, is to put the cost of the sat nav on the car finance deal. If you really want a stand-alone GPS auto navigation system installed by an expert, take your car to a garage after you have bought it. Otherwise, run the software on your laptop and sit that on the seat next to you.

Get Valuable Insight From A Consumer Reviews Site

By John Thomas


Knowing about the different products on the market, and how they fare is a very important thing for any consumer to understand. Of course, if you've never used it before, it is unlikely that you will know how good or poorly it actually fares, unless you have gotten first hand information from someone you know. As not everyone uses similar products, getting the help you need from a consumer reviews site is the only way to go about total satisfaction.

There are so many people that will comment on whether a product has delivered on its promises, leaving much of the guesswork out of it for other consumers. This is extremely beneficial as it saves a lot of time and money. People do not have to invest in a product when they know that it will not be able to satisfy them.

In addition to that, it's just better for the business as well, as it will not have to reimburse the item. Shopping in traditional stores sometimes gives people more purchasing power. They feel more comfortable buying an item in a traditional store, knowing that they can return it within a few hours if they are not fully satisfied.

However, customers who shop online want to know that they are getting their money's worth and they will not have to go through the trouble of returning the item. Through the various delivery methods, this process could take a lot longer than one is willing to put up with.

Therefore, although it is safe to say that every consumer should check these reviews, those who shop online must make it a common practice. This recommendation comes for every type of purchase, regardless of its monetary value or cost.

The site you choose to rely on for valuable information should be rich with either specific products, if it is geared to one subject, or as many products as possible, if it is a broad website. Just remember that you stand to benefit the most from reading customer reviews.

Are You Deciding Between Entry-Level GPS Navigators?

By Yusef Naser


Clearly, not everyone wants to own a GPS unit. Some people would rather spend their money on digital cameras, MP3 players, mobile phones or other gadgets. In fact, some smartphones have built-in GPS features, which might make having a dedicated GPS device seem like it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense. Companies like TomTom, however, are working to make the idea of GPS devices more attractive to drivers. Even basic GPS devices provide safer and more convenient driving. You might even think GPS devices are worth more than their price if you look at some entry-level units like the TomTom GPS Navigators.

Common Features of TomTom GPS Navigators

For new users, the interface is the most important aspect of a GPS unit. Fortunately, all TomTom GPS navigators have the same user-friendly interface. Their touchscreen interface makes route planning a snap, and it's easy to use to the menus to gain access to additional features.

Handheld GPS units are saddled with small screens, but the recent entry-level TomTom GPS Navigators models are different - they have attractive color widescreen displays that are slim and compact. The screens are able to display detailed maps, including 3D views, in order to give you a better driving perspective. TomTom GPS devices are truly able to completely replace the maps and atlases you've been keeping in your car.

Most GPS devices come with maps that cover the United States and may include Canada and Mexico maps too. These maps are highly interactive since you can zoom in and out and add points of interest in case you frequently visit a particular location. Even if you do not use that feature, you can still access lots of these points the moment you turn on the device and the roads are properly mapped as well.

These properly-mapped roads allow even entry-level TomTom GPS devices to use the IQ Routes technology effectively. IQ Routes is a navigation technology that shows you the fastest route to your destination by examining traffic conditions. If you don't mind taking a slower route in order to save fuel, the ECO Routes function can help you out.

Automotive GPS units like the TomTom VIA, ONE and GO series models will also give you the important text-to-speech feature, which helps you keep your eyes on the road instead of on your navigation device. These devices will call out your next turn and even say the street name to prevent possible confusion.

If you are willing to spend a little bit more, there are devices like the TomTom VIA 1405T that supports voice recognition and Bluetooth. This further increases the safety of your driving since you can give the GPS device commands without touching the screen. With Bluetooth, you can make and receive calls through your GPS device after you link it.

The TomTom VIA series devices provide plenty of features for less than $170.

These are only a few of the things that a GPS unit can do for you, but even with a no-frills device you will be able to navigate your way around much more quickly and easily.
