Thread: 3490 X 3790 Benchmarks and more

Really is need a map to calculations of Benckmark, but this map can and should be preferably the Basemap to match the test conditions when comparing GPS, reminding that with him the route calculation is Direct set. I also tested the benchmark with City Navigator North America 2014.10: the results were much worse and the calculations of more complex routes had flaws, eg, NY-> LA (no highway). With CNNA the speed of calculation certainly has to do with the complexity and type of route set (faster, shorter ..) and too with the speed of reading of the SD card (variable) among other factors, therefore, can not be standard for comparison purposes. In addition, after testing with the CNNA the benckmark stopped working. Only clearing the non-volatile memory all returned to work. With any other map installed, other than the CNNA, will be used the Basemap by the Benckmark. So if CNNA is present, suggest disabling it to better compare it to other devices.

Thus, for the purposes of comparison on equal terms, recommend:
- enable the GPS Simulation and wait a few minutes for all the internal gps processes of launch to finish and if the performance is very bad, so clear Non Vol Memory.

The route that we may use would be for the comparative Benchmarking could be:

Long: NY-->LA (no highway)
Medium: Seathle --> Bainbridge Island (no ferry)
Short: SFO--> Fisherman’s Wharf

I can't believe that 3597 have a slower processor than 3790. Especially looking on screen when driving

Probably the test was done in different conditions. I believe the above explanation may help. No doubt that the 3597 has to be faster than the older models ..
