Design
With a total weight of 5.1 ounces and slim measurements of 3.87 x 2.91 x 0.87 inches (WxHxD), the nuevi 350 is just right for the pocket or purse. A bright, 64,000-color display dominates the front of the device and a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels means that there's plenty of room for displaying map data and other elements of the device's interface. An SD memory card slot is provided for expansion software, such as a points of interest database, media files and electronic guides (see below). The flip-up antenna includes an MCX-type connector for connecting the unit to an external GPS antenna. Meanwhile, a powerful built-in speaker resides on the back of device. A built-in lithium ion battery will give you for to eight hours of battery life, depending on use. In addition to an AC charger, the unit also ships with a 12-volt power adapter for vehicle charging, as well as a windshield suction cup mount.

Fortunately, Garmin has made it easy to interface with the nuevi 350's 700 megabytes of onboard memory, thanks to "plug-and-play" USB mass storage support. Just plug the device into your computer's USB port and you've got instantaneous access to all the audio books, music, photos, supplemental maps and other data on the nuevi 350's internal and SD card memory.

Navigation
The nuevi 350 is first and foremost a personal GPS device. Wherever you go -- in your car or on foot-- the device offers extremely accurate position data, thanks to a high-sensitivity integrated GPS receiver by SiRF and WAAS-enabled, 12-satellite reception. Combined with detailed maps of the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico the nuevi 350 provides automatic routing, turn-by-turn voice directions, and touchscreen control-- making it easy to find your way anywhere. Plus, the unique "text-to-speech" feature calls out turns by street name, and you can choose from either 2D or 3D mapping perspectives when you're viewing your route on the display. Additionally, the nuevi 350 is compatible with Garmin's GTM 10 FM TMC traffic receiver*, which allows users to avoid traffic tie-ups by simply pushing a button that will calculate a new route.

As mentioned, the nuevi 350 comes packed with mapping data for North America, but you can can also load up your custom points of interest. Set up proximity alerts for school zones, safety cameras, and more using Garmin's free POI (points of interest) loader program (available from garmin.com).

Important note about map updates: Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our Garmin Store.



The device automatically calculates the fastest route and provides voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions along the way.
Tools for the Journey
Navigation is just part of the journey, and the nuevi 350 is one of the first devices to recognize that. The built-in "Travel Kit" offers an MP3 player, an audio book player from Audible.com, a jpeg-format picture viewer, a world travel clock with time zones, a currency converter, a measurement converter, and a calculator.

In addition to the included travel tools, additional software add-ons are available, such as the Garmin Language Guide, with data provided by Oxford University Press. This software suite contains a multilingual word bank, phrase bank, and five bilingual dictionaries. The multilingual word bank and phrase bank supports nine languages and dialects, including American English, British English, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, European Spanish, and Latin American Spanish. Now you can look up and translate more than 17,000 words or 20,000 phrases per language -- right in the palm of your hand. Through the unit's text-to-speech interface, users can get a spoken pronunciation of each entry in the word bank, along with gender and part of speech information.

Another useful add-on software package, the Garmin Travel Guide, is loaded with information provided by Marco Polo. These guides put in-depth travel information such as reviews and recommendations for restaurants, tourist attractions, and more at your fingertips. The software allows you to navigate to an address or search points of interest-- places like hotels, restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions. The nuevi 350 automatically calculates the fastest route and provides voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions along the way. The unit also audibly announces the name of upcoming streets-- letting you keep your eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic and tricky roadways. And if you stray off course, the nuevi 350 automatically calculates the quickest way to get back on track.

*Traffic services available only in select cities where RDS-TMC coverage exists. Requires the GTM 10 FM TMC traffic receiver and subscription fee to enable traffic capability.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT AND SIMPLE TO USE!   July 18, 2008
I was very undecided which to get either another product or Garmin. My sister-in-law had purchased one from Amazon which I tried. Conclusion: Loved It and simple to use!! I may buy another one for a gift to my husband since he used it briefly and much better the one he has!


5 out of 5 stars Best Bang for the Buck   July 18, 2008
I researched a variety of Garmin GPS. I found the best price for the dollar was the Nuvi 350. It had the features I wanted in A better than basic GPS. If you're looking for a better than basic GPS the Nuvi 350 is the one. I looked in the $200.00 range and I could not find another with the included features in this price range. Completely satisfied with my purchase. Also Amazon has some great comparison charts to help you make your selection.

i enjoy the fact that it does help you get around however it seems like at time it avoids the freeway even when you chose either route fastest route/shortest route it doesnt make a difference. i tested in my home town so i could see what it would do. it concerns me what it will do in an area im not familiar with


5 out of 5 stars You can guess or you can Garmin   July 17, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This little gadget made our recent trip even more of a pleasure because we never got lost or had to worry about directions. Finding local eateries and a drug store when we needed one were great bonuses. I have a navigation system in my car but was riding with my kids for this trip and bought the Garmin for them as I know the advantages. What a difference it made! While following interstates is easy, finding hotels, points of interest and restaurants was made effortless as well. I did a lot of research before buying this model and am truly pleased with the purchase. The Amazon price is far better than the same model in stores and with quick shipping, it was definitely the way to go.

Although I don't use the local points of interest feature for my around town driving, on a trip it is very useful so I'm glad I purchased a unit that provided that. The Garmin is really easy to use and needed almost no learning curve.

My daughter accidentally left her purse in a restaurant on the trip, but luckily, it was turned into police in tact. Finding the police station in this unfamiliar area would have been a nightmare without the Garmin, so we were doubly blessed. Also, being able to find our way around without a problem gave us the freedom to visit some off-the-beaten-path sights we wouldn't otherwise have ventured.

All in all, saying it was well worth the money is a vast understatement. My son has another type of unit and although it serves his less demanding purposes, the special features of this Garmin make it an all around winner.



4 out of 5 stars Garmin Nuvi 350-GREAT Buy   July 17, 2008
When the Nuvi 350 was first introduced at waaayyy over $500 it was an innovative, excellent product with sticker shock. At $199 it's a no brainer. If you want a fantastic GPS that does a whole host of other things excellently well, this is it!!!
