Garmin's nuvi 3700 series clears the FCC

Been itching to get another look at Garmin's decidedly un-GPS-like nuvi 3700 series? Then say hello to your new best friend the FCC, which has now provided us with plenty of shots of the device both inside and out, along with the device's user manual and the usual slew of exciting test reports. Nothing much in the way of surprises, but the back of the device does look a tad less sleek than it did in Garmin's promo video, which might explain why all of the press shots show only the front or side of the device -- although it's certainly still a considerable step up from most other navigation units. Head on past the break for another shot of the device's familiar face, and hit up the source link below for the complete FCC goods.

@n0ne It looks so good!

[meekasanjinez Posted Apr 25th 2010 6:18PM]

@n0ne Cool but its usability is somewhat not in-demand. Reactions. http://j.mp/garmin-nuvi-3700-viewed

"Gamin?" Is that "Garmin" with a Boston accent?

[SetThemStraight Posted Apr 21st 2010 4:28PM]

Beautiful

[Randomdude Posted Apr 21st 2010 4:29PM]

Well this looks fun

[rlobrecht Posted Apr 21st 2010 4:33PM]

All it's missing is a Home button.

[commenter7 Posted Apr 21st 2010 5:30PM]

@rlobrecht

[ShyTownFantasy Posted Apr 21st 2010 4:47PM]

@drksilenc

What one does when you play video games. I'm not quite sure how they brought it into this article, though...

[WesleyHester Posted Apr 21st 2010 5:35PM]

The 3790T looks really slick.

[kjsin1994 Posted Apr 21st 2010 5:46PM]

a phone like this would look great.

[Supraman Posted Apr 21st 2010 6:05PM]

iPhone 4G'ish or is it the other way around?

[captaind172 Posted Apr 21st 2010 8:56PM]

@Supraman

I would say it's the other way around.

[HellFlyer Posted Apr 21st 2010 6:21PM]

Hmm... guys what happened to Nuviphones ? ASUS-Garmin hybrids

[hunterholder Posted Apr 21st 2010 7:02PM]

I thought it was a new Toshiba external HDD from the back, and an iPhone from the front. In conclusion, it looks really good.

But do people use GPSs anymore now that smart phones have the ability to give you turn-by-turn directions just like GPSs do(albeit on a smaller screen)?
