A source of some fun comments when a turn is missed or a detour is taken. Some maps badly out of date. Life-saver at other times. Still learning.

Comments about Garmin Garmin Nuvi 350 Portable GPS Navigation Unit - Silver Finish:

Bought it to help get around taking the children on college visits and golf trips to Florida. Seems like a great model with more features than I have had a chance to use. Everything works great for the most part except when highways split quickly, but once you get use to it, it works pretty good. Do not leave it unprotected in a pocket though, as I have an imprint of a coin on screen from just a few minutes of walking around with it in my jeans. Hope the maps are kept up to date.

Comments about Garmin Garmin Nuvi 350 Portable GPS Navigation Unit - Silver Finish:

This gadget is worth it's weight (and then some) in GOLD. It has guided me safely to places that I have never been before as I travel weekly for business. It's easy to carry and easy to set up from one rental car to another. I couldn't live without it now that I am spoiled.

Easy to use. I love the options to find gas stations, food and lodging. It also has a great "spell" option you can type in the name of a store or restaurant and it will take you to the front door.

The nuvi 350 is very easy to use. Just enter what you wish to find and go. You really get to rely on it. It's very small in size and not bulky at all.

I love the product in every respect except one -- don't choose the English guy's voice for California. His pronunciation leaves a lot to be desired! Otherwise wonderful.

Comments about Garmin Garmin Nuvi 350 Portable GPS Navigation Unit - Silver Finish:

I gave this to my husband for Xmas. We have a large RV (40ft) that we use to go to motocross tracks with our kids. Our first trip out was from Michigan to South Carolina and back with no planned intinerary. The directions were great, good visuals. My only two complaints were the voice prompts don't start until about .5 miles from a turn, which can comtimes pose a problem with a large RV like ours. And lastly, it would give directions even though the oad didn't change. For example, when a turn was coming up for a state road, it would say that you had a turn coming up- when you really didn't, you just had to stay on the road you were on. Other than that- a great product- when you get used to the little odd details.

 
What a great GPS!!!
By BeethovenVerified Purchaser from Hawthorn Woods, Il on 12/27/2006

Comments about Garmin Garmin Nuvi 350 Portable GPS Navigation Unit - Silver Finish:

It is great. Plugged it in and it was so easy to get to our destination. It shows and speaks each street. If you change your direction it also recalculates to the change. We love it.

 
Perfect size and just the right features
By Cuban CookVerified Purchaser from Pennsylvania on 12/17/2006
Pros:
Accurate Maps, Easy Controls, Easy To Follow Directions, Fun To Use, Nice Visual Interface, Reliable
Cons:
Speaker Placement
Best Uses:
Anywhere, City Driving, Highway Driving, Larger Cars, Rural Driving, Small Cars

Comments about Garmin Garmin Nuvi 350 Portable GPS Navigation Unit - Silver Finish:

Great product, just the right screen size. The 660 is a little bigger, but the nuvi350 has a more than ample screen. Maps and directions are clear and easy to read. Voice narration is spot on and I love that an Englishman is telling me where to go (you can choose your favorite language). Satellite acquisition is quick and accurate. Only complaint is that the speaker is mono, and with radio blasting can at times be hard to hear the narration. Otherwise, this GPS has been a pleasure to use. All the other "extra" features are interesting and have value to business travelers, but bottom line this is a very responsive and compact GPA unit.

Highly recommended.

Very user friendly and works great
By Nuvi fanVerified Purchaser from Chicago, IL on 11/14/2006
Pros:
Accurate Maps, Easy Controls, Easy To Follow Directions, Nice Visual Interface, Reliable
Cons:
Slow to acquire satellite

Comments about Garmin Garmin Nuvi 350 Portable GPS Navigation Unit - Silver Finish:

The menus are highly intuitive and very easy to use. The ability to locate businesses by name was a bonus I didn't expect. We use that all the time to find stores and restaurants.

Our only complaint is that sometimes it takes a minute or two to acquire the satellite signal.
