Garmin nüvi™ 350 Car GPS Receiver

Where do I start?

The interface is just stupid good. I've never owned a GPS and I was able to use it for a trip to the market within minutes of opening the box for the first time. It would have taken less time, but I had to look up my local market's address and find the "on" button.

My primary car has titanium coated glass all around, the stuff that causes windshield mounted automated toll paying boxes to fail to see the toll booth sensors 4' away, even when fully stopped. I had to exchange that box for one that mounts on the front bumper. I had read so many reviewers here compliment this unit's sensitivity to finding satellites I thought *maybe* this would work without an body mounted external antenna. It not only works mounted on my windshield, it gets full strength signal.

The Nuvi 350 allows the user to select different female voices to speak turn directions. My first pick was Australian English by "Lisa" (I think that was her name). What can I say, I'm a sucker for Australian accents. This choice lasted precisely the amount of time it took for me to approach Harry Bird Highway, here in Northern Virginia. "Lisa" said, in flawless Aussie English, Turn Left in .2 miles on Airy Bayed Highway. That was reason enough for me to suspend my usual standard of preferring automated voices that have been assigned first names. The American English spokes model suffers from a greater identity crisis than Kafka's "Story of K", NO name at all. I miss Lisa's enchanting inflections, but not enough to be occasionally pressed to study how "plaza" is pronounced in Australia by focusing on a street sign to learn what the hell Lisa was saying.

The importance of the Nuvi 350 shirt pocket size can not be understated. Rechargeable batteries used in GPS's have their life seriously shortened, if not completely ruined by high temperatures. The glove box is a bad idea for concealment from thieves. Summer heat will render rechargeable batteries about as effective as batteries stolen out of it. In your pocket or purse is much more secure than a glove compartment anyway. Good thing is fits pockets easily.

Any concerns about screen size and thinking that car GPS's are like personal DVD/monitor players (the bigger screen, the better)is completely offset by the spoken directions being so clearly stated, the only reason to look at this screen is for the entertainment value of watching a map move underneath the arrow on the screen that represents your car.

Using the 350 in any car you wish, could not be simpler. It's sensitivity is so great, you don't need it mount it anywhere, you can just place it on the center console, or even tos it on the back seat. Looking at the screen really IS optional but the entertainment of watching your progress is hard to live without.

Screen brightness is excellent, but as I mention above, it wouldn't really matter if it weren't, since there's no navigational reason to look. As an illustration of how far you have to look to find something not to like, I could raise some hell that the screen doesn't like my polarized sunglasses anymore than my cell phone.

The Nuvi 350 is so stupid good, the only complaint I have is *magnified* by how likeable every other aspect of this GPS is … it only has one way point. From what I've read from other reviewers there's a way to use a PC to enter more, then download them onto the Nuvi. Compared to how silly simple everything else is about this unit, using a PC glares as a serious inc

It is fast Deryvely.I like it.I can not write english very well.So, I can not enter at least 100 charasters. Sorry.

I was given a tom tom one 3rd generation for christmas, as soon as I got it & started using it, the gps started locking up, I have had nothing but problems with it, I got in touch with tom tom but they would not help me ? the gps helped me in my job so I wanted another one, but it was not going to be a tom tom. I went to ebay & found a Garmin nuvi 350 & got it for about half of the retail price. the shiping was very fast, & it worked right out of the box, I have had it for a month now with no problems. this gps is great. & with the SD card reader function I slip in a SD card loaded with pictures of the work that I have completed to show to potential customers. The street names are anounced out loud so I do not have to take my eyes off the road. my tom tom did not say the street names it just said turn right so I had to look up at it to see which street. I love this GPS & would recommend it to my best friend.

P.S. does anyone want to buy a slightly used Tom Tom One 3rd Generation ???

This is an easy to use GPS. Has all the functions you need plus more. I used this model when I traveled cross country and it made life much easier. POI's are abundant and with one touch, you will be directed to the location. Once again, great product and easy to use.

San Diego, CA

IT WAS A GREAT HELP TRAVELING. I WOULD RECOMMEND ONE TO ANYONE WHO IS GOING TO TRAVEL WHERE THEY ARE UNFAMILIAR ESPECIALLY IN THE CITY.

easy to navigate and i think its very user friendly. i don't get lost anymore and the voice guided turns and exits are pretty good. worth every penny i spent.

We bought this item to use to travel to different camping destinations. So far it has not let us down. It is easy to use, even for my husband who does not use any technology enhanced product. I would recommend this GPS to anyone who wants an easy to use product with known reliability. Even updating the product through my computer was easy.

The only con I have is that sometimes the voice prompts are a little later than we would like. Other than that it is Great and again I would highly recommend this to anyone who does any traveling.

Very accurate, multiple features, user friendly. We trust Garmin Brand and we are happy with this model.

I love this thing. I read tons of reviews before purchasing a Garmin. Garmin seems to be the most well liked overall of the GPS systems. I read that it was off by a few yards or feet for some people, but I haven't noticed that at all with mine. It's been spot on since day 1. GPS is absolutely amazing. I use it to go places I already know how to get to just because I get such a kick out of it. The very first weekend I had it I was traveling out of town and boy did it come in handy. I definitely recommend the Garmin 350. It has street speech which to me is a must. If you have ever gotten lost you should purchase a Garmin 350.

I;m kind of disappointed because it was that good as i expected. And also, It was not new as described. It'd actually been used.

If I had a chance to buy one more time, i would not pick this.

Product sent the next day, Great shape, like brand new, everything came that was promised. I would reccomend this seller to anyone.

Professional and efficient...great to do business with. Would recommend for future business.

This 100 word minimum for the review should be reviewed...would that be redundant?

I love this. it works awesome and I am glad that I finally got one.the seller was very fast and well communicated.

I drive for a living... Its so easy, and so helpful... No more stopping and opening and reading maps

Clearly I haven't sampled many other units, but the Nuvi seems to be a solid choice. It is reliable, but there may be items that perform just as well at a lower price.

I had had a Garmin before, tried a Tom Tom and hated it. So, I returned the Tom Tom and bought this Garmin. It works very well. The graphics are superior, it is extremely easy to use, and is more intuitive than the others I have seen.

WORK GREAT. COMPACT AND GOOD FOR CARRYING. GOOD ROAD COVERGE.
AUDIO IS NOT AS GOOD AS STREETPILOT.

We have 3 now and are starting to put them on our service fleet. Great voice prompts and very easy to use. They seem to have a little trouble pinpointing residential addresses but they get you close.

Pros: First of all when i opened the box of loosely packaged "NEW" goods i liked the size very compact, great size screen display, style and overall ease of use. Overall this unit works as good as my old Garmin, That's what counts..

Cons: Upon checking out al the feature I went to register the product with My.Garmin.com as stated in the directions. The computer Crashed stating that the Unit Signature Micro soft logo was'nt present on this item it may not be safe. So i tried it out on two other computers on mine only to have the same problem. So i am not able to register this Ite due to the fact that it is'nt made by Garmin and the computers do not recognize it. So no updates through Garmin...

I purchased this GPS for my husband who is a truck driver. He really likes the
size and the simplicity of how it works. You can easily update it to your computer for newer maps. It is small enough to throw into a small purse if you want to take it along with you. My husband is all over the East Coast in his truck and so far the Garmin has been "spot on" with directions & time to get there.

Riding around central Pennsylvania delivering steel with my son. This nuvi puts us right where we are suppose to be. This is while worth the monies you pay for it.

Bought at the last few minutes of auction, seller said brand new in the box but because of time I missed refurbished. It looked new but would not hold a signal I had to pay to mail it back to the seller. It has been weeks now and still I do not have a GPS.

Simple to operate. Even with all the new models & features, this one stands out, does the job and is still in demand!

Good value.

Decided to buy it after seeing it work in a friend's car, then did my research 'on-line' re: the unit itself and compared prices, then committed.
