There’s always a junction
Where remnants of the night’s sacrifice
Welcome fast the morning traffic
And there a voice calls from the road
The wail of a lunatic messenger
Crying out his morning dispatch:
“Cursed are your politics
Who stray from Obatala
Lord of mankind and all man’s nature
“Cursed are your vehicles
You who forsook Ogun
Who breathed your machines
“Cursed are your cities
For Olokun is angry
And his aquatic army ranges
“Cursed are you by Sango
For his lightning is dire
And your houses in darkness
“Cursed is your counsel
Ifa withdraws his wisdom
And rots you in ignorance
“Cursed is your harmony
Shattered by Esu
Violent lord of mischief
“Curses on your days
Slaves of alien ways
Ensnared by deceit…”
And the voice fades away
As the traffic deepens
With sacrifices for the day
There’s always a junction
Where lunatic words are shaped
And then flung north and south

And they are still flinging them, running jibberings amok like beckoning decrees!

Amazon Verified Purchase() This review is from: As a GPS Unit, the 3790LMT is phanemenol, and I’ll get to why in a bit, but first, I decided to write this review for those who, like me, live in a part of the world where the climate is extreme enough to make it a necessity to take your GPS in and out of the car on a regular basis to prevent damage (or crime).I used to have a Garmin 765T, which was a great little unit, for all the reasons I personally purchase a GPS. I don’t care so much about playing MP3 s or viewing photos, or even bluetooth, I just want a fast, accurate, and user friendly GPS. And, I’ve come to discover that I also NEED one that is easy to take with me when I leave my vehicle.So, when my 765T’s maps were out of date I was faced with a decision whether or not to upgrade the maps, or just get a different unit and I decided that for about the same price I’d upgrade to a new GPS that came with lifetime map and traffic updates rather than paying for a couple month upgrade to my old Garmin 765T.After shopping around I settled on a TomTom XXL500TM. As a GPS, it was a good unit, but I immediately missed the quick release feature of my old 765T which allowed me to just pop it out of it’s charging cradle on extremely hot or extremely cold days or when parking in areas where having a GPS in plain sight might tempt the criminally minded beyond what they were strong enough to resist. After a couple 20 second episodes groping around at night in the dark to hook up the charging cable and snap the TomTom into its cradle, I’d had enough and I sent it back. It was simply impractical for where I live. If you live where you can leave your GPS in the car most of the time without it growing legs, melting, or freezing into a sub-zero brick, then save a few bucks, but if you don’t, read on Next, I began a search of the web looking for ANY gps units that had lifetime traffic and maps and some form of a quick release charging mount. That was literally all I cared about in terms of features, and I sadly came to discover that it was going to cost me a small fortune to get a GPS matching those simple search criteria.Finally, after comparing mounts between the TomTom and the Garmin I broke down and tried the Garmin 1390LMT.Same story, while the Garmin 1390LMT proved to be similar in quality to the TomTom XXL500TM in terms of response time and features. And while I did find its car charger and mount to be slightly easier to hook up in a dark car (maybe 15 seconds of fiddling around with the power cable and mount instead of 20), it was still a no-go.That only left me with a couple other GPS models offered anywhere, by ANY manufacturer that had quick release mounts (at the time of this writing) and I was hesitant to spring the $499.00 sticker price (again, at the time of this writing), for a Garmin 3790LMT just for what I saw as a few extra features I’d likely never use, and a return to a somewhat quick release mount.But then luck struck and I was able to pick up a 3790LMT here at Amazon for a little over 20% off and I simultaneously sold my old 1390LMT for more than twice what I’d just recently paid for it making the upgrade a wash. And what an UPGRADE it turned out to be!!This GPS does what it is supposed to do, and it does it well. It’s quick. It’s sleak. It has great battery life. AND, most importantly to me, it has a fairly quick release mount (not the same old button release as the 765T, but it can still be done in a second or two using one, stiff, cold, gloved hand. And for me that’s not too bad at all).Added Bonuses:I quickly came to appreciate the 3790 s voice command feature. NEVER thought I’d even use it, and really didn’t care one tiny bit about it when I bought it, but now I have looked up all my frequent destinations via Google Earth and entered their lat/long in as Favorites and using voice command I am quickly routing my next destination, and adding via points for coffee or gas, all while driving down the road, with my hands and eyes fully engaged in driving. On trips with frequent stops, the time savings really does add up.Voice Command Tip: The Voice Command feature works nearly flawlessly with good diction, but even when munching on a snack (aka talking with food in my mouth shhhhshh, don’t tell mom), it has still proven to be almost false detection proof when using the numbered destinations saved in my favorites .Can it be improved upon? Yes.1. Garmin could go back to the old button release mount they used to have in the days of the 765T.2. Voice Commands could have more options such as zooming maps in and out, lane assist and junction view.Conclusions:I heartily recommend this unit as one of the best all around GPS units at the time of this writing. All opinions and brand preferences aside, it is one of the ONLY offered by any
