Garmin Gets Stylish With New Nuvi 3700 GPS Series
The company has just revealed the new nüvi 3700 series, a navigation line with an incredible amount of style. Not surprisingly, these units won the Red Dot Design Award, and it's easy to see why. We think these really raise the bar for standalone NAV systems, as they're less than 9mm thick and sport a multi-touch, capacitive touch screen. The series will include the nüvi 3790T, nüvi 3760T and nüvi 3750, all of which have 4.3" WVGA glass displays. The multi-touch inclusion means that this unit supports pinch-to-zoom, which is the same as Google Maps Navigation and one of the better features of a modern-day navigator. And to avoid inadvertent touches, the nüvi 3700 series features a simple screen lock, so you can tap the power button, slide nüvi into your pocket and go.
Unfortunately, no pricing details have yet been announced, nor have ship dates, but it's clear that everyone else will seriously need to step it up in order to get noticed above these.
