I bought garmin 350 because I was making a trip to NYC

I am directionally challenged, nice way to put it. I bought Garmin nuvi 350 because I was making a trip to NYC with my daughter and granddaughter. Let me tell you, nuvi 350 was right on the money. Well worth what I spent. We did not have a single problem getting to NYC and we did not have a paper map, only Garmin! Another great feature is that when we wanted to leave, I just had to push the “Go Home” button and it mapped it out for us. Going home I did make a wrong turn (my fault, not Garmin’s) and it immediately recalculated the new route. Once again, got us home without any problems. I would highly recommend …

Garmin 350 is a great GPS but some stupid quirks

I love Garmin nuvi 350 for the most part. It is great, says out street names, has a nice bright screen and everything that you expect out of a great GPS. Trust me it has all of it. But now for the stupid quirks which irk people like me and I’m sure irritate many others too using this one. If these little things can be improved upon I think this would be the best buy at this price

NUVI 350 - Discontinued and great

In New Mexico taking the faster route sometimes meat taking the scenic route. I enjoyed it very much. The faster, back road routes saved me at least a tank of gas. For some reason Price, Utah was a challenge for the Garmin 350 and locked up. I had to reset the 350 and the balance of the trip out and back was great. On the return trip everything work fine. This model is not longer manufactured by Garmin, but as an owner of much older GPS 12 which …

Garmin nuvi 350 is an excellent product

I bought the Garmin nuvi 350 right before a trip to Charleston, SC from the Philadelphia area where we live.

The nuvi navigated us effectively the whole way even through Wash. DC. When it came time to get a motel (we took 2 days) in northern NC, we were pleasantly surprised the Garmin have driving instructions to all the motels in the AAA book we had.

Then, while in Charleston, we used it to navigate around to restaurants and various sites; e.g., Patriot’s Point.

By the way, I’d recommend spending several hours to download the free 2009 upgrade available from Garmin.
