Electronics : Garmin nüvi 350 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator |
- GPS for DummiesGreat GPS. Quick setup and very easy to use. Voice directions, including street names as well as large map showing route you are traveling. Very pleased with it's performance, size, portability, and looks. The package came with everything I needed, didn't have to purchase anything else.

- Garmin Nuvi 350This was my first automotive GPS and it does a good job. It easily follows the signal and with WAAS it knows exactly where you are. Street names are easy to read even on the 3.5 " screen. Drawbacks: Does not always find the best route (Ignored a one-way street and had me go around the block and return from the other direction.) (RTE 5 and RTE 91 merge together and then separate and it had me continuing on RTE 5 when I was in fact on Route 91) That said, many GPS's have th same quirks. Typing in addresses is easy but finding a particular POI in its database takes considerable time to search. Pros: Good verbal directions and easy to use. It has taught me more street names by calling out their names then I ever knew. If you miss your turn it immediately provides new directions to get you back on track. Tells you your expected arrival time which is adjusted for your speed. I see they make wider screens on some--don't think I need that--works just fine. I may buy another for the other car.

- A Big HelpGarmin nüvi 350 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator
This is a very helpful little machine. I am still learning all of the aids it provides. It is very easy to carry with you and will be great for sightseeing this summer in Salt Lake City.

- Reconditioned Nuvi not New as AdvertisedI received (2) defective Garmin 350's. The first unit was totally hosed! The second unit went belly-up after 6 hours of use. Garmin informed me thet second unit was a reconditioned model, Amazon stated it was new. Amazon paid for the shipping of both units back and gave me a full refund, however I am now without a GPS!

- Garmin nüvi 350 This is a cool device. However, it is not 100% up to date. In Atlanta, it had us turning into a block under construction. And in Orlando, it gave us exact directions to a restaurant which wasn't there. But all in all, it is very helpful, and fairly intuitive to use. We joked, however, that there should be a "French taunter" voice option.
