A traditional method to find your way on the open road or in an unknown city has always led to have a roadmap of South Africa in your car. Since the early 1980s, global positioning satellite technology has been open to the commercial market, with many military and industrial uses in places around the world . Since the technology has been allocated to serve the commercial market as well, the need for a roadmap has flown out of the window.


German and Japanese automakers were some of the first to implement GPS systems in their vehicles, with integrated dashboard-based models to ensure that the driver can easily navigate and ensure that they arrive at their destination in good time. The next logical step could be to install a similar system in every car, even if it is not incorporated into the dashboard. This is where companies such as Garmin offers a viable solution for vehicle owners across the world with the windscreen-based car navigation systems allowing any car to use the functionality of global positioning satellites for route plotting, navigating, and avoiding delays such as roadworks or traffic congestion. Today, we will look at a specific Garmin model available from Electronic Fitment Centre, offering innovative technology to allow for an even better experience.

The Garmin Nuvi 3790LT

The types of windscreen-based car navigation systems have grown over the years, and Garmin units have always been some of the best units on the market, with the Nuvi 3790LT being a contender in its own right. This unit features a slim and slick design to ensure that you can easily handle, position, and operate it, with a multi-touch display to improve accessibility and ease of interaction with the screen.

With no monthly fees or maintenance costs involved with this Nuvi, you have access to lifetime map updates, as well as the latest traffic information to suggest the fastest possible route to your destination and ensure that you are never late for a meeting in the concrete jungle again. The navigation display features turn-by-turn directions, as well as a 3D-modelled environment to match the real-life environment for an advanced way of navigation, allowing for precise lane decisions and ensuring that you do not have to make any last-minute moves in heavy traffic to get to your destination or make the next turn.
