Finally after research, I've bought the Garmin 3490 at 1,600AED in Carrefour with GCC and Europe maps.

This is the latest model from Garmin as is the replacement of the 3790. And one of the major reasons why I went over budget are:

[INDENT]Off Road navigation.

Display resolution, WxH: 800 x 480 pixels with multi touch.

Saves 1000 Waypoints and 100 Routes.

Voice-activated navigation.

Bluetooth.
[/INDENT]



So far in the city looks accurate and sensitive to the motion, giving a very accurate positioning. Now, still pending the test Off Road, which will happen IA next Friday.

See you soon!

For off-road use you will need a GPS that show you the direction of the end point either using arrow as what I have in my Garmin Nuvi 760 & GPSMAP 62S or pink line like what in Garmin 205w.

A friend of mine got yesterday from Amit Montana 600, including ME and North Africa maps 2012, glass holder, car charger with speaker for 2,500 Dhs. Montana 650 cannot record video, so this option is pretty useless.
