    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

    Cons: Bluetooth can be difficult to hear, small screen, flip-up antenna

    Summary: It wasn't until my wife and I visited my brother and his family in Seattle that I realized how invaluable a GPS unit could be. Since my brother couldn't play host to us the entire week, we were left on our own. He did supply us with his Tom Tom One GPS ... read more

    Cons: none

    Summary: When the GPS systems first came out, I was not only mis-informed but I was very skeptical. My fiance brought one home for me a few months ago. I reluctantly used it at first, just to be nice. After exploring the contraption, I decided it was pretty ... read more

    Jul 27, 2008
    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

  • User Interface Could Be Better

    Jul 15, 2008
    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

    Summary: I love my GPS. The greatest thing about it is that you just take it out of the box, turn it on and you're ready to go. There was nothing to set up, configure, download or put together. I love not having to worry about printing out directions before ... read more

    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

    Summary: I was so nervous about buying a Garmin because of all the talk about waiting up to 8 minutes for it to connect to the GPS satalites. Well all I can tell you is that it is basicaly true. Meaning that even if you are outside with absolutley no ... read more

    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

    Jan 15, 2008
    Pros: Very easy to use. Graphical display is terrific. Estimated Arrival time fantastic.
    Cons: It didn't know some of the more rural areas even though they were not new.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Pros: 3-in-1- Navigation, travel assistant, MP3 player WAAS capable Small, light
    Cons: Cons: Lack of a volume control. Cost. It is a pricey model. No Bluetooth.

    Summary: About the size of a pack of cards the Garmin Nuvi 350 is a GPS Navigation system, traveling assistant and a entertainment center all in one. It is small enough to fit in a pocket and light (5.1 ounces) to carry around easily. Combined with detailed maps, ... read more

    Nov 2, 2007
    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.

    Summary: We decided to get the Nuvi 350 when we relocated to San Francisco and were looking for apartments. Getting in and out of a city and driving point-to-point on a whim can be quite difficult and you soon get tired of the map printouts. This product came ... read more
