Our take on the
Garmin nüvi® 3590LMT
Meet Garmin's top-of-the-line portable navigator
Garmin built their nüvi 3590LMT portable navigator to help make everyday travel and special road journeys smart, easy, and fun. It's got a nice 5" multi-touch display so you can see the maps and menus easily. Built-in Bluetooth® connectivity lets you make and receive calls with your compatible phone, while voice-activated guidance helps you keep your hands on the wheel. Lightning-fast traffic alerts and map updates for the life of the nüvi without any added costs help round out this advanced transportation tool.
Find your way around with ease
Like the multi-touch display on your smartphone or tablet? The nüvi 3590LMT's glass screen gives you the same sort of fingertip control, allowing quick map zooming and shifting to give you the perspective you want. The display moves automatically between landscape and portrait orientation, making it ideal for discovering locales on foot. The nüvi 3590LMT also offers maps of the entire U.S. plus most of Canada, Mexico, and several Caribbean Islands, along with 8 million searchable points of interest.
Convenient control using your vocal cords
While the glass display makes the nüvi 3590LMT more fun to touch, you also have the option for safer operation with hands-free control. You can wake the navigator up with a customized voice command, then find the menu screen you want just by speaking. Or just say the address or name of the point of interest you want to find, and the nüvi will locate it for you quickly.
High-speed Garmin 3D Digital Traffic updates
When it comes to traffic information, nothing's more important than timeliness. Garmin's Digital 3D Traffic races past the competition, with updates that are up to 4 to 10 times faster than traditional services. It can feed you details every 30 seconds in some areas, using the HD Radio™ broadcasting system in addition to all the other sources Garmin traditionally uses. You'll see congestion as it develops and be able to route around it, rather than getting stuck at inopportune times. Best of all, the updates are free for the life of your navigator.
Advanced Garmin Guidance 3.0
The Garmin Guidance 3.0 feature set is the engine that drives the nüvi 3590LMT. You'll see maps load and routes form with uncanny speed, and you can save even more time by finding and selecting businesses right on the map screen. Text-to-speech voice prompts that say actual street names at turns keep you focused on the road, while Lane Assist guides you through tricky intersections. When you're entering an address or point of interest, the 3590LMT uses predictive text to give you more time traveling instead of searching.
Easy-to-follow visuals
Select landmarks and terrain aspects appear in 3D, giving you the most comprehensive view of your surroundings, which is especially helpful when you're exploring on foot. And photoReal™ junction views make complicated interchanges a breeze with easy-to-follow realistic representations, including signs. Sometimes the screen will split automatically to give you a photoReal view of an intersection so you'll have a clear picture of the next turn.
Handy features for every kind of driver
Do your friends call you "leadfoot"? The nüvi 3590LMT's speed limit displays with visual warnings on major roads can help keep you safe. A quick listing of destinations near approaching highway exits will save you valuable time when you're ready for a pit stop. You'll also find a photo viewer, "Where Am I?" emergency aid, audiobook player, trip planner, and other legacy Garmin features.
Learns your driving patterns to help you stay ahead of traffic
Garmin's myTrends™ feature keeps track of your driving habits and can predict where you're going once you're on your way, then give you an estimated time of arrival. If you live in an area not covered by the traffic info service, you can activate Garmin's trafficTrends™ feature, allowing the nüvi 3590LMT to take historic traffic data into account when creating routes. It'll guide you towards paths that are less congested depending on when you're traveling, saving you time and gas.
