Ultraportable- one of thinnest GPS units ever at just 9mm thickFlexible- offers pedestrian mode and vertical/horizontal orientationEnhanced- features myTrends and trafficTrends capabilities

Very thin ; Gorgeous, bright screen ; The loudest nuvi yet ; trafficTrends historical road speeds result in improved routing ; More streets labeled than on recent nuvis ; Improved junction view and lane assist coverage

trafficTrends can result in increased route calculation time ; Slightly weaker GPS receiver performance than other recent nuvi series ; Multi-destination routing needs improvement ; Trip logs do not consistently display

Highly recommended — the 3700 series is the best nuvi line released to date. In many ways the 3750 is better than the 3790T, where I found fault with the voice command interface and Bluetooth quality.

Some routes it takes aren't really the quickest. Comparing my old garmin 250w to this one it does do better. However I haven't played with every setting (ie econ mode)
