What's great about it: Great display. Easy to use.
What's not so great: Auot power cord is big and ugly, a curly cord would have been nicer.
I wasn't sure about ordering a refurbished item. So many refurbished units made me think there was a problem with the models. I read the other reviews, and it looked like a good deal at $150 off the new price.
My GPS arrived in a timely manner. When I first connected it to my computer it would not power up. I re-read the instructions and checked the connections. Nothing. It didn't even work with the auto adapter.
I took it to the nearest Best Buy. They plugged it in and it powered right up. I sheepishly thanked them and took my new toy out to the car.

The 3790LMT was super easy to use. In no time I had it set up to guide me home. Once home I registered it online with Garmin, and set it up to down load the latest map.
I did not have any problems with it being registered to another person. It was as if I was its first user. (I can't believe people rated it only one star because they had to make a phone call. It deserves a higher rating for the design and interface alone.)

What's great about it: On paper, it has the features I was looking for
What's not so great: Well, it wont update!
I picked up the unit this refurbished unit this afternoon. I could not even register the unit. It was still registered to someone else! How refurbished is that? I called and waited on hold for about 20 minutes. They were helpful and got me registered. (Though the registration date is still showing over a year ago.) I ve been trying to update the software (The first step after registering the unit) for the last 4 hours. It gets to 47% and stops. Very Frustrating.
Hopefully I will be able to get this straightend out quickly, but if not, it is going back to the store tomorrow afternoon.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I received my refurbished device today. I couldn't register it because it was already registered. Took a 30 minute call to resolve. The support person was very nice but I would expect Garmin to take care of that before sending it out. Then as I was driving home I found out that they gave me the wrong car charger. I am now contacting support for a replacement. The device seems fine so far but given how sloppy Garmin has been I don't think they ever even checked the device after it was returned.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Works perfectly and not a scratch on it.
What's not so great: Nothing.
I was leery of a refurbished unit but they could have sold this one for new. I'm very pleased with the condition and operation. I am forwarding information to several of my friends. Hope they have a good supply!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Ease of use. Features. Speed at recalculating. Great price. Fits in shirt pocket without a bulge.
What's not so great: Took several hours to update map because I failed to notice default name was same for both units.
My wife wanted a replacement for her nuvi 880 (which has Microsoft traffic until Jan 2012) so I bought and received refurbished 3790LMT yesterday. Faster at finding satellites than the 3790T I bought about a year ago. Lifetime maps and traffic along with a nuvi 3790 at about half the cost of a 3790T with a lifetime maps subscription is a great deal. More bells and whistles than I or she will ever use, but nice to know they are there if we need them. Plain box packaging, but out of the box I could not find any sign that this was a refurbished (by Garmin!) GPS. Considering another one for my son who commutes weekly from Sacramento to Emeryville, CA. $10 Best Buy Cyber Sale store pickup offer Gift Card paid half the cost of the Garmin carrying case.
This product has... Large/easy to see screen, Easy menus, Lifetime traffic, Free map updates, customizable maps
