Navigate Like A Rockstar

Hi, I’m Carl P. and I’d like to tell you about the new Garmin Nuvi 3790T. When my helicopter is in the shop and I’m forced to drive my Tesla Roadster Sport to dinner (which is currently on display at the Abt atrium until tomorrow), I use this device to get me from point “A” to “B”.
