 Nuvi 350 April 4, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
My wife and I took our new friend Nuvi on a recent cross-country trip of about 1000 miles. We let Nuvi lead us all the way, including several short-cuts we wouldn't have noticed otherwise. A restaurant we were looking for in one city was in Nuvi's database, and our little friend took us right to it. We hadn't made hotel reservations in that city, so Nuvi gave us the name and phone number of several nearby motels. We called ahead, found one that had room for us, and Nuvi took us right there. It's a great little machine.
Everything I hoped for and more April 3, 2007

This is my first GPS but I was amazed at the accuracy and amount of data available in this machine. It's easy to find a nearby Post office, gas station, food, park etc. One item I do like is the portability of the unit. Fits nicely in a shirt or pants pocket. Very light and portable. Downloaded POIs, music & pictures with the software on the Garmin site with no problems.
Turn right on Northland doctor??? April 2, 2007

I love my new toy but there seems to be one particular quirk in the text to speech software that just cracks me up. Considering that this is a road navigational tool I would think that Garmin would have realized that "DR" after a street name means "drive" not "doctor". Maybe they'll get it right in the next software update.
Very useful with only a few quirks April 2, 2007

This is my first GPS machine, and its working very effectively. It seems to be picking the most efficient rout 95+% of the times. The text to voice feature that announces street names is extremely valuable at complex junctions. I am so happy that I purchased another one as a gift for my brother.
 Nifty little box with LOTS of technology within April 1, 2007

I bought this model even though it's more expensive than say the 330 because of its size. Prices should drop over time, but I wanted it NOW.
Instead of a small tv tube shape, it's a flat screen model and even within the handy leather case that comes with it, it fits nicely into my shirt pocket. You can use it for walk arounds!
I'm finding new features almost daily as I get used to this thing. For one, at dusk, the screen goes to a "night" mode. Cool. The choice of voices is nice; I'm currently using the sexy female Australian one.
I've never listened to books on tape, but the Audible sample chapter of about 5 minutes lured me right into the story. The unit has an audio output so if you have an FM modulator or other connection into your car stereo, you can put it on the big speakers. With an MP3 Player on board and accepting SD cards, it's a cool player too.
Finding gas stations, or nearby Greek resturants is pretty neat too.
Downsides? Minor, really. Booting up and gaining satellite signals does take maybe two minutes. The keyboard is abc rather than asdfg. Big deal. The European map add-ons which is what I bought this thing for (a trip to Europe is coming up) are kind of expensive. Sometimes the SD add on maps are available on E-bay a bit less than list price. Sometimes it seems to take me an unfamiliar way to my destination. This might have to do with some of the settings such as "maximum use of highways" or "most direct route." In California, you can't mount this on the windshield by law. The included disk (sold for $18 for two if you need more -- kinda expensive) supports the suction cup on the dash nicely and I haven't tried the temporary disks that I bought (maybe for other models?) yet on my other cars. Other than that, this is a good unit. But I haven't compared the map quality with those of some "off brand" units that are now appear on the market; you could get one of those for maybe one half or less the price.
