Electronics : Garmin nüvi 350 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator

Rating: - Great companion on the road...
I have this product for a month now and so far I have enjoyed it. I don't have to worry anymore about the places I want to visit, the nuvi 350 just takes me there. The unit acquires satellite signal fast in about 3 minutes or less (that's cool!). The mp3 player is also a plus, good sound but not better than my car stereo. I guess this is the only Garmin GPS that comes with the important accessories needed like the AC charger, car charger & case. No need for additional purchase, well worth the price. I upgraded the map to the latest version, the 2009 map navigation. It worked well, the only drawback was it took so long for the download, 2 hours. But overall, I'm satisfied with the product. Perfect for my Matrix XRS. I just hope it won't lead me to the wrong direction someday.

Rating: - Garmin nüvi 350 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Text-to-Speech
Garmin nuvi 35o is adequately legible. The Text to Speech (TTS) feature allowing the unit to speak street names performs well enough to recognize the street without looking at the unit.The speed of the Garmin's route calculation is more important that simply allowing you to set off quicker, though. If you miss a turn en route, the machine must recalculate your trip so it can correct your path. The readability of the screen is very good. Even in bright daylight, the screen can be easily read.

I LOVE MY GARMIN GPS NOW WHEN I TRAVEL ALONE I DON'T HAVE TO STOP AND LOOK AT A MAP TO MAKE SURE I AM ON TRACK. THIS GPS I JUST BOUGHT WAS FOR A FRIEND WHO SAW HOW WELL MINE WORKED AND WANTED ONE ALSO.

Rating: - Great Product...but costs $70 each year to update
The garmin is great. But I wish I had known that is costs $70 a year to update your maps. The updates are essential as construction is constantly changing the face of our roads. My garmin has already lead me to several wrong locations this year (I bought it in Oct. 2007).

The cost of updates is vital information to the consumer and Garmin is deceitful for not letting the consumer know that ahead of time.
