Pros: Ease of use, design, accuracy, features, features, features.
Cons: A little slow in processing, battery life.
Summary: Back in the good ole’ days, out of college, no mortgage, no family, when 100% of my post-bar tab take-home pay was disposable, I would have gladly plunked down the dough for a GPS device. But then one day I realized how much money I’d been ... read more

Summary: This unit stranded me in the country on my way to a wedding when it was able to identify the address of the destination, but it sent me down the wrong roads miles from my intended destination. I ended up late for the wedding. I guess I had too much faith ... read more

Pros: Small, portable, accurate and lightweight.
Cons: Can take awhile to locate a satellite.
Summary: I still think an old fashioned paper map is fine for anyone with half a brain and the willingness unfold one, but if you want to get where you're going without delay or confusion, the Garmin 350 is a great, modern mapping tool. I bought this as a ... read more

Pros: Eventually gets you from point A to point B
Cons: Map display lacks important pieces of information: direction of turn and name of street.
Summary: Ok, I've had the Nuvi 350 for over a year now and would say it partially does its job. That is, it eventually gets you from point A to point B and that's what you want in your GPS device. As a previous reviewer noted though, the speech directions ... read more

Pros: Saves you time, money and gas
Cons: typing screen is small, sometimes confuses commerical with residential properties

Pros: Compact size, text-to-speech, easy to use, extra features.
Cons: Screen could be brighter, no external volume buttons.
Summary: The Garmin Nuvi 350 is in the middle of the pack between the 200 series and 800 series Nuvi GPS units and because of this it may be overlooked. The Garmin Nuvi 350 combines great GPS functionality with a handful of other features such an a currency ... read more

Pros: Accurate routes. Small in size, great touch screen, talks the street names
Cons: takes about 2-5 mins to connect - everything else is sweet

Pros: Fantastic GPS device
Cons: The newest roads don't exist
Summary: The Garmin Nuvi 350 is a GPS device for your motor vehicle. When we first got one, I was sort of old school in my thinking. Why did we need this? I have been getting around fine for years by word of mouth, or by simply using a map. The Garmin Nuvi ... read more
