I was shopping for a GPS unit for a family vacation to New York. We planned to rent a car in NYC and drive our way through upstate NY to Niagara Falls and Toronto, stopping at multiple cities and attractions along the way. After reading quite a bit and ...

Pros: Preloaded maps, choice of languages, small size, low price, no need to read the manual.
Cons: It sometimes takes awhile to find satellite signals.

Cons: Sometimes takes you through the heart of downtown/stop signs/lights

Pros: Compact, better antenna, sharp screen, better windshield mount, satellite accuracy in my basement.
Cons: Focus seems to be not on GPS anymore but additions to unit.

Well, I'm a sucker for an upgrade. I'm the type who always has to get the newest and best of whatever I already have. Typically I upgrade my home theater receiver every 9 months because of this. I got my first GPS unit back in June (Garmin C330) and ...

Pros: Easy to use, accurate, compact, and portable.
Cons: marginal battery life, poor documentation

I've always wanted an travel GPS but they've always been way too pricey for me. After a co-worker showed me his Nuvi I was hooked. I like the slim design (not much thicker than a deck of playing cards). It has a easy to navigate touch screen ...

Pros: Size, ease, saves money from calling 411 and gas from driving around aimlessly
Cons: Touch screen is small to type words. Occasionally takes a while to find the satellite.

We've had our NUVI 350 GPS for three weeks and now consider it part of the family. We named our unit "Jill" from the voice option we chose to use when Jill tells us where to go. Most recently, we took "Jill" along with us to Michigan to a summer ...

Pros: Very easy to use, speaks street names, compact, excellent customer support
Cons: Doesn't actually drive the car; can enter only one via point if that's important

Pros: Small, portable, accurate and lightweight.
Cons: Can take awhile to locate a satellite.

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 ...

Pros: Extremely portable, Easy to see and understand, Accurate, WORKS.
Cons: Expensive, Doesn't actually drive the car

“Arriving at home, on right.” Oh, how I love to hear my Nüvi tell me that… but not only will it take me home, it will take me to where I’m going and back, with a quick stop at Walgreens, and maybe a Starbucks along the way. Living in South Florida, the ...

Pros: Great directions, intuitive controls, MP3/JPG w/SD, Smaller than most cameras.
Cons: Pricey, pop out GPS antenna, Traffic feature costs extra (I'd buy 3 if free).

I did some minor research and Nuvi 350 universally recommended on a number of electronics sites. I bought it hours before leaving on my honeymoon where we planned to tour California's major cities and drive the coast. We were told Hertz couldn't give us ...

Cons: It didn't know some of the more rural areas even though they were not new.

Bought the Garmin Nuvi 350 before going on three different long trips; San Antonio, St. Louis, and Santa Fe. The first trip was San Antonio so I was still learning what it could do. The feature that I found that was absolutely wonderful being able to ...

Pros: Size, Ease of use for first-timer. Accuracy.
Cons: Missing some established POI's in some areas.

Bought it before a family trip to Central Florda. Ripped open the box in the parking lot and it worked like a charm! Easy to enter address info, even if you have big hands. Good Points of Interest, especially in the Orlando Area. However, I live in ...

Pros: Compact in size and nearly idiot-proof
Cons: Some delay with satellites, information can be dated

Edited to Add: I wrote this review in disbelief that this unit had not been reviewed by any other member. I've since learned that it is listed under several different versions (this one uses the "TM" after Nuvi, which apparently is mistaken as a ...

Pros: dependable; pocket size; 2008 maps are very accurate; ready to use out the box.
Cons: Have to pay for the travel guide, wish it were part of the purchase.

pocket size; overall performance; accurate; ease-of-use; and screen graphics are it's high points. I've tested three other models prior to settling with the Garmin nuvi 350. It has been very accurate (none are 100%) at this point, but close enough. ...
