Design
With a total weight of 5.1 ounces and slim measurements of 3.87 x 2.91 x 0.87 inches (WxHxD), the nuevi 350 is just right for the pocket or purse. A bright, 64,000-color display dominates the front of the device and a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels means that there's plenty of room for displaying map data and other elements of the device's interface. An SD memory card slot is provided for expansion software, such as a points of interest database, media files and electronic guides (see below). The flip-up antenna includes an MCX-type connector for connecting the unit to an external GPS antenna. Meanwhile, a powerful built-in speaker resides on the back of device. A built-in lithium ion battery will give you for to eight hours of battery life, depending on use. In addition to an AC charger, the unit also ships with a 12-volt power adapter for vehicle charging, as well as a windshield suction cup mount.

Fortunately, Garmin has made it easy to interface with the nuevi 350's 700 megabytes of onboard memory, thanks to "plug-and-play" USB mass storage support. Just plug the device into your computer's USB port and you've got instantaneous access to all the audio books, music, photos, supplemental maps and other data on the nuevi 350's internal and SD card memory.

Navigation
The nuevi 350 is first and foremost a personal GPS device. Wherever you go -- in your car or on foot-- the device offers extremely accurate position data, thanks to a high-sensitivity integrated GPS receiver by SiRF and WAAS-enabled, 12-satellite reception. Combined with detailed maps of the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico the nuevi 350 provides automatic routing, turn-by-turn voice directions, and touchscreen control-- making it easy to find your way anywhere. Plus, the unique "text-to-speech" feature calls out turns by street name, and you can choose from either 2D or 3D mapping perspectives when you're viewing your route on the display. Additionally, the nuevi 350 is compatible with Garmin's GTM 10 FM TMC traffic receiver*, which allows users to avoid traffic tie-ups by simply pushing a button that will calculate a new route.

As mentioned, the nuevi 350 comes packed with mapping data for North America, but you can can also load up your custom points of interest. Set up proximity alerts for school zones, safety cameras, and more using Garmin's free POI (points of interest) loader program (available from garmin.com).

Important note about map updates: Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our Garmin Store.



The device automatically calculates the fastest route and provides voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions along the way.
Tools for the Journey
Navigation is just part of the journey, and the nuevi 350 is one of the first devices to recognize that. The built-in "Travel Kit" offers an MP3 player, an audio book player from Audible.com, a jpeg-format picture viewer, a world travel clock with time zones, a currency converter, a measurement converter, and a calculator.

In addition to the included travel tools, additional software add-ons are available, such as the Garmin Language Guide, with data provided by Oxford University Press. This software suite contains a multilingual word bank, phrase bank, and five bilingual dictionaries. The multilingual word bank and phrase bank supports nine languages and dialects, including American English, British English, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, European Spanish, and Latin American Spanish. Now you can look up and translate more than 17,000 words or 20,000 phrases per language -- right in the palm of your hand. Through the unit's text-to-speech interface, users can get a spoken pronunciation of each entry in the word bank, along with gender and part of speech information.

Another useful add-on software package, the Garmin Travel Guide, is loaded with information provided by Marco Polo. These guides put in-depth travel information such as reviews and recommendations for restaurants, tourist attractions, and more at your fingertips. The software allows you to navigate to an address or search points of interest-- places like hotels, restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions. The nuevi 350 automatically calculates the fastest route and provides voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions along the way. The unit also audibly announces the name of upcoming streets-- letting you keep your eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic and tricky roadways. And if you stray off course, the nuevi 350 automatically calculates the quickest way to get back on track.

*Traffic services available only in select cities where RDS-TMC coverage exists. Requires the GTM 10 FM TMC traffic receiver and subscription fee to enable traffic capability.

5 out of 5 stars Garmin nuvi 350 ROCKS   October 13, 2008
This is a great product. easy to set up, easy to use, easy to see and hear the instructions. love it. never get lost or arrive late again. even tells you your estimated arrival time!


4 out of 5 stars Garmin Nuvi 350   October 13, 2008
This was a gift for my spouse who remains delighted with it. We had a lot of fun playing with it, putting in addresses and seeing its response. The other reviews were right on, and our experiences were similar. One thing we did not anticipate is that the software version for this Nuvi purchased in September, 2008 was dated 2006! and many addresses are not available. A search on the Garmin site said that he'd need to spend $60 to get the current software. We were not pleased. However, when he registered the product on the Garmin web site a one time free version update was offered which he immediately accepted.


5 out of 5 stars Garmin Nuvi350 review   October 12, 2008
This is actually Sue, Ken's wife, & I bought this for a trip to Oklahoma, that my daughter-in-law, & my 2 grandsons & I were going to be taking. It worked out great! It was very easy to use, & was very helpful when it came to some road construction & we had to make some detours. Also, we were stopping around St. Louis at my daughter's, & it was right after Hurricane Ike had blown through, & there were some water problems, with flooding, so we had to find some alternate routes because of that. So, that came in handy there as I certainly don't know that area at all!! Ken & I also took it recently to Schererville, Ill. for a wedding, & it took us right to the hotel where we were staying; was really nice.


4 out of 5 stars Pretty good   October 12, 2008
I've never had a GPS navigator and I really liked this one. I used the location functions for the nearest gas stations which help (especially when your low on gas and are unfamiliar with the area). I'm not too fond of the car attachment, though. A bit flimsy and it obstructs my windshield view.


4 out of 5 stars Older driver.   October 12, 2008
My nuvi 350 is just what I needed to find those addresses in unfamiliar towns. It took a while to learn but what a time saver, and it makes me a safer driver, not having the distraction of looking for street signs. As an older driver it allows me more complete attention to my driving.
