 Nuvi is an excellent product! I am VERY pleased! January 16, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have had my Nuvi for 6 weeks and I use it almost every day. I just moved to a new city and it's been a tremendous help. Even before I moved, I dreaded going anywhere new because I might get lost. Now I venture into unknown territory with confidence. Nuvi was easy and fun to learn to use. The features that I enjoy most are the touch screen and the verbalization of street names. You can choose either a male or female voice and from many different accents. You can even choose another language if you like. If you take a wrong turn, Nuvi adjusts your route and you don't have to backtrack. (It says "recalculating" when it does this.)
Nuvi has several features that I did not expect. It can provide a list of similar locations near you. For instance, gas stations, restaurants (broken down by cuisine), hospitals, etc. It contains an MP3 player which also reads audio books. The memory storage can be expanded by inserting a chip of up to 2 GB. You can save a list of favorite locations that can be easily recalled. It is very easy to carry and it comes with a nice case. The screen is just the right size. It's big enough to glance at while driving but not so big as to get in your way.
One of the reasons I bought Nuvi was to enable me to drive across Houston to see my old friends. Without Nuvi I wouldn't even have attempted it. With Nuvi I can take the trip without having a map in the car. I believe that Nuvi makes traveling safer because I don't have to stop and ask for directions and I don't have to search for street signs and addresses while driving. I would buy it again and I would recommend it to anyone. My husband has an excellent sense of direction and he still enjoys using Nuvi. Nuvi is one of the best items I've ever purchased.

I have made much use of my 2+year old Garmin Quest. This is a real advance in appearance and user interface.
 No Owners' Manual & Tech Support January 16, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Following the growing trend, my Garmin Nuvi 350 did not come with an Owners' Manual. This caused problems. The "Quick Start" folder supplied gave basic set up & operating instrucitons but few details. I downloaded the 79 page Owners' Manual from Garmin's website and was able to look up answers to a couple of my questions. However, to correct a problem, I had to contact Tech Support. I phoned and was advised by a recording that the wait to talk to a human was 40+ minutes. Having better things to do with my time, I decided to e-mail my question. Within a couple of days I received an e-mail in reply which told me how to reset the Nuvi's settings and correct the problem. Other than these issues, its apparently working fine now. Don't know what someone without a computer would do to obtain an owners manual or seek technical help.
Strongly recommend it! January 16, 2007

I got this from amazon for $450. It was worth every penny! I've used it daily since I just moved to Tampa - it's a pretty big city but I get around without any problems thanks to the Nuvi!
Love That Nuvi Jill! January 16, 2007

This is merely the best little navigator on the market! The American English voice I've selected (Jill)tells me every turn to make in ample time to make safe lane changes. Really vital on unfamiliar routes. I select my destination even when I'm familiar with a known route just to be reminded of when its time to merge lanes. And especially now that I have added the optional Real Time Traffic antenna. I simply don't sit in traffic backed-up jams anymore-Jill recalculates a new route in plenty of time to avoid the problem areas.
The portability and exceptionally stable windshield mount are outstanding compliments to this well-conceived little product.
