 Great GPS January 15, 2007

I've had this unit for several months now and really like it, especially the size. I had a problem with the window mount falling off frequently, but I wrote to Garmin and got an immediate response. I was very impressed with their customer service. I just dampened it slightly and now I'm not sure I could even remove it! Worked like a charm. The voice is clear (I'm using Jack) and the instructions are easy to follow. I had a Lowrance iWay previously. It was a great unit, but very large and heavy and could not be used outside the car. This Garmin will be so easy to travel with and use in rental cars as well as when I'm walking in unfamiliar cities. Great unit!

Pro: Size - you can use it while walking in search of nearest Starbucks, convenience - navigating while driving is not recommended, but if you need, you can with minimal distraction, accuracy. It is actually more convenient than built-in GPS - in sunny day you can always select some angle when it would not have a glare. Plus it can play MP3 and audio books, which is nice on long lonely trips, and hold your pictures. The memory can be extended by inserting SD card. Upgrade of the software is super simple, but you need a computer connected to the Internet with UPS slot.
Cons: Maps in some area are not accurate. Do not try to find railroad station in White Planes, NY - it is on the other side of Hamilton Ave.
Accuracy is not sufficient to recognize if you on the main or service road, so Nuvi may advice you to do prohibited turn, but it would be probably a problem for any GPS. Loading stuff on SD card is slow, you'd better use some other device and only then insert it to Nuvi.
Conclusion - recommended.

Initially, I was very pleased with the results of the Garmin NUVI 350. However, after 6 weeks of use, the unit stopped working. I was in conract with Garmin on 3 different ocassions trying to resolve the issue via tech support and the internet, but with no success. Garmin agreed to replace the unit with a new one and even paid the shipping costs for the broken unit. Garmin's customer service is outstanding! I would recommend them to anyone.
 garmin 350...could be quicker to respond January 15, 2007
Quite often it takes a long time to acquire the satelite.I've noticed it has tried to take me to the same place in different directions from the same starting point.While actively using this in downtown traffic going to and from work the charge on the battery lasts approx 1 and 1/2 days and the car charger is already broken.However when it is working it has helped me in a few jams. I've recommended it to friends!!
Great but not perfect January 14, 2007

The NUVI is a great unit; no rocket science requirement to get it working out of the box. I live in a rural area of Arizona and several times NUVI has told me to turn on dirt roads that don't exist and it doesn't have roads in memory that have been in existence for the past three years. Going into major cities, it works great; it takes you exactly where you want to go. I'd buy it again in a minute.
