Garmin nüvi 370 Car GPS Receiver

Pros: Accurate, Good voice prompts, Bright display, Europe included
Cons: Moderately expensive, Small screen, non-replaceable battery.

I was skeptical about “needing” a GPS. But because my wife (who has to do the navigating on vacations, a heavy burden) wanted to give me one for Christmas, we did some research. Finally, Consumer Reports magazine (October, 2007, Page 6) had a ...

Pros: Nice compact size and shape. Europe and USA maps built-in. Bluetooth phone interface.
Cons: Internal audio amplifier a little under-powered.

USA and Europe Coverage I bought the Nuvi 370 because of the pre-loaded European and USA maps. I travel 12-15 times per year to Europe on business, and I've found that it's often difficult to get a rental car with navigation built-in (despite ...

Pros: Extremely easy to use, bluetooth works great, accurate maps, good battery life
Cons: Small screen, weak volume, expensive

Everything you need is in the box. Really, a great small, stylish GPS with the latest satellite receiver, USB cable, windshield mount, dashboard disk, international charger, carrying case, traffic FM receiver, CD-ROM, and a car battery charger. This ...

Pros: Excellent performance, legible screen, small size
Cons: Small screen, bad foreign street name pronunciation

Bought this unit after a friend recommended the Garmin Nuvi series, and selected this particular model because of the included European database. User Interface The screen is easy to read under most conditions, and large enough for normal ...

Pros: Easy to use. Accurate. Flexible. It's a travel experience not a technology ordeal.
Cons: Speaker volume is not loud enough w/ radio playing.

I have the NUVI 370 for several months now. It is extremely easy to use right out of the box. This is technology that gets out of the way and lets you use the functionality without too much fiddling around.

I find that I use the audio 99.9% of the time and don't refer to the display map while driving (safety issue, of course).

Garmin provides online software updates and, since my unit was still under warranty, sent me the US 2008 highway map updates free of charge via a CD-ROM.

Having gotten lost in Lithuania last summer, I bought this unit because it comes with Europe, Central Europe, and Eastern Europe maps pre-loaded. It even has optional language updates that can provide audio output in dozens of different languages. It's small enough to throw into carry-on and will travel to Europe with me on the next trip.

There's an MP3 player; Bluetooth; and shopper/traveler guide functions as well.
