 Was extremely pleased with the price! July 15, 2008

I bought this for my husband for Father's Day and he couldn't believe I purchased the nuvi 350 for such a low price. He was thrilled to receive it. He was able to download the most recent information without any problems. It has been very easy to use right out of the box. The only negative was when he was in downtown Boston and it tried to have him turn down one way streets. Fortunately he knew a little bit of the area and didn't follow the instructions. The positive was that he was able to circumvent an accident on a major highway by just getting off an exit and have the GPS guide him to his destination.
I think you would always want to have a backup from Mapquest or similar with you just in case!
 Great interface, but not perfect July 15, 2008
I bought this for my motorcycle because it claimed to have an 8 hour battery life. I figured that I would never ride that much at once, so it should be fine. I found out that it dies after only about 2 hours.. big letdown. However, if you plan on using it in the car, you can't go wrong for the price.. it's got a great interface and is easy to use.
best GPS ever July 15, 2008

Garmin Nuvi 350 July 15, 2008
The Garmin Nuvi 350 is an excellent GPS for the money. I was origanally looking at the Nuvi 200, but for only 40 dollars more the 350 was well worth it. I won't bore you with what was good as I could go on and on with the that, however I would like to tell you a negative:
When you try and avoid highways, you can not chose between Interstates and state highways. I was testing it and it wanted to take me out of the way through a neighborhood to avoid the state road I was on. I wish there was an option to avoid just interstates.
That is my only complaint with the gps, any other issues are minor and to be expected.
If you are looking for an inexpensive GPS for basic needs with a little extra the Nuvi 350 is it.
Superb GPS July 15, 2008

The Garmin Nuvi 350 is my third GPS, and it is by far the best unit I have used. As an avid GPS user, I cannot express enough praise for this unit. With its large touch screen, complete U.S. street maps, built-in MP3 player, JPEG viewer, voice output navigation, this is one sweet unit. I hooked is up out of the box, and it worked perfectly for me in just minutes. (To discover all its features, however, I admit that I did have to scan through the paper manual, and then I read the .pdf manual that was included with the unit.)
This is an extremely simple unit to use, and it is very intuitive. At first, I thought I would not like its limited set of screens and menus, but with use, I have come to appreciate how Garmin simply removed the clutter that multiple options gave me on previous units.
Most shocking is how inexpensive and yet powerful this unit is. My last Garmin was a Quest (with color screen) for which I paid about $500 in 2006. This Nuvi is much faster, has a bigger screen, and provides far more capabilities than my previous unit. For me, this is a quantum leap forward in technology in just a 2-year period of time.
I really appreciate the fact that it takes an SD card. I bought a 2GB card and have loaded almost 30 CDs of music, and there is still room to spare. I just plug the output of the Nuvi into my car stereo (via a cassette adapter), and I no longer have to carry a bunch of CDs with me any more.
Some things this unit does not provide include track logs, routes, and a few other odds and ends, which I thought I would miss. But within a very short time, I realized I did not need those things to navigate with ease.
Thank you, Garmin, for making such a compact, intuitive, and feature-packed unit. The Nuvi 350 is a real winner for both novice and experienced GPS users.
