Garmin's thinnest GPS navigator ever built, it's only 0.89cm thick and has a lot of nice
features,there is another model before 3790V which is 3790. The only difference is 3790 doesn't has video player. Below is the features of 3790V:

-          Multi-touch display - pinch-to-zoom, simple finger taps and drag, newly designed glass capacitive touchscreen that is bright, clear and more sensitive.
-          Dual orientation capabilities – using it either horizontally / vertically

-          myTrends (Predictive Routing) – will be able to figure out your “Favourite” destination without your telling it. It will provides time of arrival and relevant traffic information
-          Hands-free Calling (Bluetooth)
-          Junction View - Guides you to the correct lane for an approaching lane or exit

      3.5mm headphone adapter.

This is my first GPS navigator and what can i tell is, superb performance, the response is 
fast, receiving satellite signal in less than 10 second, 3D gives you clearer view of the 
buildings and roads. Voice activated navigation allows you to concentrate on driving without
you pressing the screen while driving.Lane Assist and Junction View is very useful, you will 
know which lane to keep before you reaching the next junction. One more feature is "Where 
Am I", you are able to know your location in case any emergency happens. As a conclusion,
this 3790V is the best navigator in town so far. Below is some of the screenshots from my 
3790V. ^^
