Here’s what one customer had to say about the Garmin Nuvi 350:
“For years, I’ve used and relied on a Garmin StreetPilot III and thought it was great. But technology has obviously improved over the past few years, and I couldn’t be more impressed with my Nuvi 350. Imagine a device about the size of a PDA, only much lighter, which contains detailed road data for the entire country. It’s so light, in fact, that I don’t believe that the suction cup mount will ever give out. I love the way it clearly speaks the directions, including the names of the streets.
But the REALLY cool thing about the Nuvi is that there’s no learning curve! Due to the super-easy touch screen, you can take the device right out of the box and easily use it right away without reading any material at all. In fact, you could tell your 90-year old grandmother to please go to your car and program a destination into the device, and she could do it with amazing ease. This may be one of the more expensive portable GPS devices out there, but it’s worth every penny. If you’re shopping around, stop now. This is the best GPS in the world!”
And here’s another review:
“After trying other Garmin units, this is the one I kept. Simply wonderful. I bought it when it was more than triple its current price and thought it was good deal then. It’s a great deal now.
It has all the characteristics that I was looking for:
1) VERY compact — easily able to fit in a breast pocket
2) Text-to-Speech — announces proper street names, not just “turn left in 500 feet”; radically reduces how much you need to look at the screen to figure out the real instructions; wouldn’t own a GPS unit wihtout this
3) Bright Screen — readable in virtually every situation
AND
Faster location of the GPS satellites. This turns out to be quite important in day-to-day use. In the other systems, it wasn’t unusual that we could be driving for a couple minutes before it located the satellites and could give us directions.
With this unit, the satellites are located almost as quickly as the unit fully starts up.
One comment on how we use this: We don’t mount it on the dash board or on the window (which is technically illegal here in California). Instead we just lay this on the center console in our van or car. The antenna system is plenty sensitive to work just like this and we’ve never lost the satellite signals except in tunnels.
We also like all the potential of the traveling features (clock, calculator, etc.), but this is the one to own even if you just use it for the basic GPS features.”
Overall, we highly recommend this Garmin Nuvi 350 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator!
