Excellent map update for my 2014 Toyota
936643
I received an email from my Toyota dealer advising me that my maps need upgrading. The cost for this service would have been $200.00 but I ended buying this Micro SD map card from Amazon for $37.99.

Installation Process:
This process was smooth. With the car turned off, eject the old SD map card and install the new SD card. My card slot is located on the bottom right corner of the display unit. This process is similar to changing an SD card to a camera.
When I turned the car back on, the system installed and applied 13 updates and it warned you not to turn the car off. After it finished, it advised me to restart the car, and the whole process took 5 minutes.

Results:
Driving around with this update, I noticed that it now displays the street names with speed limits. It also shows new streets that were built since 2013.
Finally, it also kept my previous destinations, home, and customization's.

Conclusion:
For the cost of this product at Amazon, and less than 10 minutes of your time, you cannot go wrong with this update.

I've been waiting for a functional in-dash GPS device for our Honda Odyssey.  GPS wasn't offered for this vehicle the year it was assembled.  However, this GPS offers IPOD connectivity, backup camera connection and we've added XM Radio to it.  DVD playback too.  We like that Panasonic provides updates on their website and it's easy to apply using a SD Card.  The most recent update converted the maps from 2D to 3D, nice enhancement.

I have owned many gps units for the past 10 years. I am very picky when it comes to gps units and I do not think twice about sending back units that I do not feel are good and accurate. I currently own Nuvi models 360 and 780.

I received my 3790T last week and for a brand new model this one has blown me away. One main thing to remember is to make sure you uncheck most of the choices on the avoidance screen so your routing is more accurate. For instance on my unit the only thing I have checked is to avoid ferries.

I downloaded the voice Dr. Nightmare and is by far my most favorite voice and is excellent quality. The maps that ship with this unit are April 2010 and Garmin support indicated the next map update is due out in July and they indicated I would get that update for free.

So far the 3790T has exceeded my expectations and I will keep this unit.

It has not locked up or rebooted at all during the first week so far, so hopefully the hardware issues other models have had are not going to occur since this model is a new design.

I would highly recommend this unit !

***Update***

Well after writing my previous review the 3790T starting to do some strange things. When I left work or my house I did not go the direction that the gps had suggested which would of normally prompted the gps to recalculate the route. In both cases the gps correctly showed my position on the street which was 1-5 blocks away from the suggested route and it did not reroute me until I crossed the suggested route and then it recalculated.

Next I had problems getting the unit to power up when getting in my car one morning. I placed the 3790T into the cradle with the car turned on and it would not power up, I removed the 3790T and tried to power it up holding it in my hand and still nothing. I then placed it back into the cradle again and after about 1 minute it power up. Keep in mind the battery was fully charged.

The last and most puzzling issue was I had told the gps that I wanted to go home so it calculated the route correctly, then I decided I wanted to stop for gas on the way home and searched for the gas station and selected to add it to my route which it did successfully. While still driving towards the first stop at the gas station I added a stop at Wendys into my route which occured about 4 miles after the gas station and 3 miles before my home.

I arrived at the gas station just fine, then it wanted to route me home first even though I was driving right past the Wendys that happens before my house, then once I arrived at home it wanted to have me do a U turn and go back to the Wendys.

I cancel the trip and put it back in again and it still was going to route me home, before the Wendys.

I called Garmin tech support, held for the usual 1 hour and then explain the various issues. Since there are no software updates for this new unit yet the only suggestion then had was to do a reset all and see if it happens again.

Well I decided not to keep the unit because I can't justify keeping a gps that does not route correctly. I purchased a Magellan Roadmate 3045-LM on sale for $169 that includes lifetime traffic and map updates that uses Navteq maps and traffic just like Garmin does and works correctly.

So if you are looking for a dependable no frills gps I would highly recommend the Magellan Roadmate 3045-LM. Also if you are a AAA member, once you register your Roadmate you can extend the hardware warranty for 1 extra year for free !

I liked this product before but the new update has made this a real winner.
When I first got my Worldnav I was going to Nebraska to visit a new customer, it got me there even with the last 6 miles of the trip being on dirt roads.
Now, the resolution is far better and with yearly updates, you keep up on the latest roads and POIs

It provides a great view of vehicles behind me, and in "the blind spots" - thus letting me know when I'm totally clear to change lanes to the right or left.  I did have to add a little "black masking tape' to the brackets to be certain the "panoramic" version doesn't slip off, but it was only a minor modification.  All in all, it works for me.

Customization of the screen allows you to select many different pieces of information while driving. I changed up the default to view current time, arrival time, time to destination and current speed. Very cool. Yes, I have a free navigator on my phone but this interface is so much better and it doesn't reboot for no reason :-)  Worth the money.

I've owned a 2005 Toyota Avalon Limited for over 2 years.  It came with an expensive GPS.

I've used it but never liked it as it wasn't user friendly and a pain to use.  I also own a very expensive GPS on my boat.  Why I am mentioning this is that I am familiar and have used some GPS units.

A few months ago I purchased this Garmin C330 and my whole image of GPS changed......LOVE it!

Because of this Garmin C330 I found out that GPS units can be very EASY to use.

I take my Garmin C330 along in my Avalon and use it instead of the car's GPS.

Thank you Garmin!

The screen size is much better than the older versions.  And, they have improved the directions by giving you lane suggestions for upcoming turns.  It also calls out the street names for upcoming turns.

If you don't have a built in unit in your car, this one is great!  Annual updates are free, although after a few years you do need to purchase another chip to hold all the new data.  It directs me almost flawlessly anywhere in the U.S.  When I travel and use a rental car I save $10/day by using my own GPS; it has repaid its purchase price many times.  I also transfer it to my R.V. when I vacation.  I love it's ability to accurately estimate travel time too, something that is not always evident from merely looking at the map.  I love it!

I am very satisfied! Even 2 ISO cables was inside!
Total I spent about 10-15 minutes to connect everything and install updates for Google maps.
Most difficult part was to hide gps antena))))
Good product! Thank you HIZPO!

I ordered this GPS a couple months ago after a decision to by a new one rather than pay $65 for the map updates.  It made very little sense to me to pay just a little less to get an update than it did for a brand new one.

Surely enough, I like this one much better.  They've refined the features so that you not only have an easierr time typing in the address but you can also see the current speed as well as posted speed.  The maps seem to be much more complete (although that might be due to the fact that I'm back in 'civilization' rather than living in Oklahoma...sorry Okies, my review, my opinion.

The keypad has also been improved in that the numbers and text are on the same screen in typing in the address, quicker and easier to input.

I understand from a friend who works at Garmin that this particular model is about to be discontinued, which explains the very low price for a new one.  *shrug*  That's fine with me; I got a good deal for a nice GPS with vastly improved features.  And it still uses the same cord and carrier which means less fussing around.  However, this did come with cord and stand for the dashboard which is a lovely thing.

All in all, I'm very pleased.

I ordered the updated North American maps for my Garmin and received them digitally without any incident.  I am glad that I did this because I had not done so since purchasing my device 4 years ago.  Now my Gramin acknowledges new roads and restaurants for my long, cross-country road trips.

I chose this product i had a Garmin Nuvi260 since 2008 in June of this year it was stollen out of my car. I chose the 44lm because of reviews. . I do like the life time map update  that is onr reason  i chose the 44lm because it includes both usa and cananda. We went to o'hare airport about a month ago i just put in the information and it took us right to the terminal we needed. I have only had it about a month and used it 3or 4 times i think it is going to work out well. I would recommened this product to anyone interested in a gps system.

I have used Charles Wells guides for years and found this new one to be even better than before because of the color photos and maps showing topography. The driving instructions remain quite cryptic so I waited to write this review until after I used the guide. A friend and I followed the Gardner Canyon trail (moderate) and the Bull Springs trail (easy) in southern Arizona in March and found the directions quite adequate. All the important junctions were identified and the directions were clear. I recommend the book to anyone interested in exploring back roads.
