    Great GPS System for the money

    By flash  Feb 26, 2006 | 87 out of 90 found this Garmin nuvi 350 review helpful

    Pros: Comes with alot of extra's

    Cons: It's a little slow on start up and sometimes is a bit off on locations

    Over-all I love this thing. The pictures on the screen are great. The screen even changes color during diffent times of the day. The background is white during the day and black at night. This saves your eyes from getting burned out at night. It is e...asy to set up and I plugged it in and set it up in less then 10 minutes after leaving the store. All US and Canada maps are built in. Including all kinds of waypoints. I live in a small town and im impressed by how many places this thing already knows.It does seem a little off on some destinations by several feet but it always gets me in the right area. I beleive it goes off Postal address zones/areas. It shows my house at the begining of the small street I live on, instead of the end, but yahoo maps does that too. I am also using it in a small town and that might be part of the problem. It uses SD cards for the MP3 player. You can also buy preloaded language and book SD cards for it from Garmin. I havent had to deal with Garmin Support yet, but I did download some desktop software for it. It connects to your computer via a USB port. Read more Less

    Garmin Nuvi 350

    By ameritoy  Jan 16, 2006 | 40 out of 43 found this Garmin nuvi 350 review helpful

    Pros: Everything you want and more

    Cons: Some of the features no support given.

    I absolutely love my Nuvi, however when I tried to load MP3's into it I could not get them to load. No technical support available. I'm not extremely computer savvy but I think some instruction on it's features would be most helpful. It&#...39;s manual is very vague. If anybody knows how to do this function I would love to hear from you, as I'm still waiting to hear back from Garmin. The satellite's are excellent, I am no longer geographically challenged. Now I'm not afraid to venture too far from home. Read more Less

    Just Got

    By Angry Dragon Creator  Apr 25, 2006 | 23 out of 24 found this Garmin nuvi 350 review helpful

    Pros: Coolest thing that I have ever purchasedsince my I pod.

    Cons: Routing seems a little weird

    Perfect tool for traveling sales person. Easy to use. It will always go with me. You can type in a restaurants name and it pulls the closest one up. Really nice.

    Excellent GPS For The Price

    By Jay Dee  Jul 30, 2007 | 19 out of 20 found this Garmin nuvi 350 review helpful

    Pros: Compact, Plenty of Accessories, Built in Manual

    Cons: Can only program one additional waypoint per trip

    I've had this unit for about 3 weeks and it's both a pleasure and a breeze to use. Sometimes it takes a minute to acquire satellite reception, but by the time I get down to the end of my street it is usually up and running. I found the best d...eal at the time to be through Amazon ($378) total, with no tax and no postage. I've already downloaded several third party "Points of Interest" (POI) files and modified a few. It's a breeze. Naturally, the unit is only as good as the data in it and so far I've only run across to minor discrepancies where the unit directed me around an extra block instead of going the way I knew was shorter. No big deal, because if I had been somewhere unfamiliar, the unit would have gotten me to where I wanted to go and I would have been none the wiser. I LOVE the fact that I can take this GPS out of my car and slip it into my pocket. Too many other "pluses" to mention. Read more Less

    Nuvi 350

    By Arash  Jul 18, 2006 | 14 out of 17 found this Garmin nuvi 350 review helpful

    Pros: Size, Ease of Use, Text-to-Speech

    Cons: None

    Very easy to use and set up. Firmware updates are available from Garmin and easy to update. Use it everywhere, especially travelling. What a great gadget.

    Nice GPS

    By Doug  Jul 31, 2006 | 15 out of 20 found this Garmin nuvi 350 review helpful

    Pros: Size

    Cons: Map details, quality of voice guidance

    Nice GPS for the money and for its size. I just sold a car with a GPS(and never owned a “hand-held” or portable unit) so I can't compare this product to any other "hand held" but to "built-in" GPS’ only(I have had and still... have an Acura GPS and a Lexus GPS, respectively.) It lacks the level of details that you would see on a built-in GPS(More street names, more elaborate POI search options, voice guidance quality) but it does the job at a friction of the cost. Its slim size allows hiding it in the car or taking it with you. The built-in speaker needs improvement as the voice is hard(or harder) to understand than a built-in GPS but I, myself, may not trade the quality of speaker at the expense of its size or weight. It comes with a choice of voice guidance language(American English, Australian English, British English, French, Spanish, etc...) which I am having a little fun with. Not as all-inclusive as a built-in but I would recommend it for its size and versatility. By the way, the unit has no problem readily finding satellites if you have an unobstructed view of the sky contrary to complaints that I've read here before my purchase... Read more Less

    Garmin Nuvi 350

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 22, 2007 | 11 out of 12 found this Garmin nuvi 350 review helpful

    Pros: Light in weight, easy to use, a handy travel companion

    Cons: Long start up time, does not take intersection as a destination

    I bought a Nuvi 350 three months ago. It has been doing its job well so far. It certainly has no problem in taking me to where I want. Nuvi provides options for choosing shortest or fastest route. I always select the latter. But there are times when... I disagree with its suggested route. I have never really sat down and done the math. But having driven around in my neighbourhood for years, I would like to think I am right. Overall, I give an A- for its directions. Door-to-door routing is fine if you don't disobey its directions. But once you do not follow its directions, all it does is to ask you to make a U-turn rather than re-calculating the new fastest or shortest route when there clearly is a better route available. I did an experiment once. While I was waiting at a red light, Nuvi prompted me to make a U-turn right there. Instead of following it, I turned it off and re-entered the destination. It calculated a new set of directions! Another annoyance about Nuvi 350 is its start up time. It takes approximately five mins to acquire signal most of the times. There are times when it becomes ready in just a couple of mins, I have not figured out the pattern yet. Maybe it depends on how long it’s been powered off. So, sometimes you are better off looking up Google map before you leave. One final disappointment I have is that it does not allow entering intersection as a destination, which I thought is a rather basic feature. There are many great things about Nuvi 350. The obvious ones are its size and weight. It fits into my bag easily. I sometimes just leave it in my bag for days without noticing it. The user interface is clean and easy to use. The touch screen works well. It comes with a car charger, AC charger and leather case. I have never used it for playing MP3, so I can’t comment on that. Although not perfect, yet Nuvi 350 certainly brings convenience. I am happy to have one because I no longer need to print or look up maps when I travel! Read more Less

    Pros: Great

    Cons: None yet

    Have used it on my motorcycle for outing and travel and to find people where they live,It unreal at what it can do.No matter where you are at in the USA an you need food or gas it gives you the places in you location in that state an how to get there....It saves me gas an time.Planning a trip to airzona soon will see how it will do.Over all it is a good unit and tough to be on a motorcycle with the vibration there an changes back to auto mobile ues easy.

    great when it works

    By shark  Sep 6, 2007 | 12 out of 16 found this Garmin nuvi 350 review helpful

    Pros: works well when it works

    Cons: takes 2 months to get it fixed

    I bought mine for 440$ with a 3 year warranty from FRYS and it stopped working one day 3 months after purchase - "would not aquire satellites". I took it back to FRYS to get sent in for repair. It has never been dropped, never been exposed ...to water, never been abused. It has been 2 months now and still hasn't been returned and no loaner was offered. If you need a GPS system for your job - I would recommend you pass this one up as it is just a novelty in my opinion. I spent too much money for the poor service and treatment I have received and feel my money could have been spent better elsewhere. It did work great when it worked though. Read more Less
