nüvi 350

Pros: great GPS for the price

Cons: like other GPS's, need to spend to upgrade maps

The Bottom Line: Love it for the directionally challenged!

Review: This Garmin has saved my directionally challenged self! I can now go places without the help of my husband without getting lost! Additionally, the features which show restaurants and local places come in really handy when the kids get hungry or just ...

Pros: Ease of use, design, accuracy, features, features, features.

Cons: A little slow in processing, battery life.

The Bottom Line: You can’t go wrong with the Nuvi 350. It's the perfect travel companion in town or around the world. Simple, powerful, feature rich. Haven’t regretted a single dollar paid.

Review: Back in the good ole’ days, out of college, no mortgage, no family, when 100% of my post-bar tab take-home pay was disposable, I would have gladly plunked down the dough for a GPS device. But then one day I realized how much money I’d been ...

Pros: Tiny, battery powered, 3D display, no PC required (except for PPOI), SD expansion slot

Cons: Short-ish battery life, Tracklog and much configurability removed. No PC-based routing planning. 1000 MP3 limit.

The Bottom Line: This is a really compact navigator for the business traveler. It is tiny and light and doubles as an MP3 player

Review: Updated July 22, 2006 to reflect the impact of the latest firmware release. ============================== ================= I am a gadget freak. So it's a good thing for my bank book that I have a friend who distributes Garmin products among other ...

Pros: Size, Battery life, Features, Accuracy, Screen brightness, User Friendly, Wow factor

Cons: Aged mapping, POI database inconsistency, Not hard-wire friendly

The Bottom Line: With prices dropping by more than 1/2 since its initial release@ $970, you're running out of reasons to keep procrastinating. Functionality teamed with endless options makes this hard to pass!

Review: Procrastination had pushed off the idea of a GPS unit for years, mostly because of the skyrocketing prices when they first showed up. However, in the late 2006, I was rather surprised to find that many high quality units could be had for fractions of ...

Pros: Extremely portable, Easy to see and understand, Accurate, WORKS.

Cons: Expensive, Doesn't actually drive the car

The Bottom Line: It looks great and works great. Clear, accurate, spoken instructions is what makes the Nüvi 350 a great decision.

Review: “Arriving at home, on right.” Oh, how I love to hear my Nüvi tell me that… but not only will it take me home, it will take me to where I’m going and back, with a quick stop at Walgreens, and maybe a Starbucks along the way. Living in South Florida, the ...

Pros: Very easy to use, speaks street names, compact, excellent customer support

Cons: Doesn't actually drive the car; can enter only one via point if that's important

The Bottom Line: Well worth the money. A great help, user-friendly, excellent support. Makes a real difference in my life when traveling!

Review: This is my first GPS unit, so I can't compare its use with others. I did read a lot of reviews and did some research before I purchased it, however. After using it on a recent driving vacation to several new destinations, I think it was an excellent ...

Pros: Very compact & portable, sleek design, Text-to-speech, SiRF technology, very good navigation/directions, excellent windshield mount

Cons: Screen could be brighter, Expensive

The Bottom Line: Well designed, high quality, pocketable GPS with outstanding performance and features, although a bit pricey. Consider waiting for prices to fall, as the Nuvi 360 (with Bluetooth) is coming out.

Review: I was shopping for a GPS unit for a family vacation to New York. We planned to rent a car in NYC and drive our way through upstate NY to Niagara Falls and Toronto, stopping at multiple cities and attractions along the way. After reading quite a bit and ...

Pros: Compact, feature-filled, simple & intuitive to use

Cons: About $100 to $150 more than the average portable GPS models

The Bottom Line: Wonderful, feature-filled device with intuitive menu on a bright, clear touchscreen. Very portable and good battery life. No looking back. Just travel with ease and confidence.

Review: I've been enjoying the ease of use provided by the Nuvi 350. The devise packs the necessary array of useful navigation tools along with a few features that may be useful to some, but certainly not essential. Quickly, right out of the box, the device ...

Pros: Slim, easy to read screen, highly useable

Cons: Could use a bigger screen, needs to handle more waypoints

The Bottom Line: Highly useable and easy to read screen, reliable navigation and cool extra features.

Review: After insisting on the Nav option in my wife's car, my wife loves it and gave the green light to get one for my car. After comparing in dash units, portables, PDA, etc, I ended up with the Nuvi 350 and am very happy. PEOPLE WITHOUT NAV DON'T KNOW WHAT ...

Pros: Easy to use, accurate, compact, and portable.

Cons: marginal battery life, poor documentation

The Bottom Line: I would not hesitate to buy the Nuvi 350 again.

Review: I've always wanted an travel GPS but they've always been way too pricey for me. After a co-worker showed me his Nuvi I was hooked. I like the slim design (not much thicker than a deck of playing cards). It has a easy to navigate touch screen ...
