SatNav company Garmin has just announced the slim new nüvi 3700 personal navigator, highlighted by a new design that looks more iPod touch than personal navigation device. It’s still built to be used on the road, packaged with a dashboard mount, but the slim new frame that features a 4.3-inch screen easily fits in your hand or pocket in case you want to hoof it.
The nüvi 3700 line comes in three “trim levels” that includes the entry-level 3750T, the mid-range 3760T, and the top-end 3790T—all of which pack in the basic navigation apps and tech inside a frame that measures less than 9mms thick. The 3750T starts at $350 and features the basics for navigation, including lane assists, turn by turn directions and cityXplorer maps for navigating the metropolis on foot (or by public transportation). The kit also features ecoRoute that tracks fuel usage and computes the best gas-saving route, and the company’s nüRoute Tech that “learns” traffic trends and predicts your ETA depending on the day and time of your travel.
The 3760T adds Bluetooth connectivity for making hands-free calls and free live traffic updates to the 3750T’s feature set for $400. The top-tier 3790T further adds full 3D building and terrain views, and speech recognition to give it voice commands—awesome tech to help you keep your hands on the wheel.
