Easy to use. My husband has taken it on numerous work trips and it really helps him to get around and save time! It is compact and light.

First off, I did not buy the device, my son bought if for me for fathers day in 07. I had seen them and thought why waste the money, maps at airports are free and the hotels usually give pretty good directions, and I had never been seriously lost anywhere.
As it stands now, if this one dies, I will have it replaced in a day and this is why.
since owning the 350 I have been to North Dakota, Wyoming, California, Florida, New Hampshire, Maine, Alaska, Massachusetts, Vancouver BC, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada and Arizona. It is not so much that it works, but how well it works. I have used it walking in cities allover, and for locating my car in a parking lot, and to give directions to a cab driver. I have located places which did not have an address by entering the lat long of the location and it has given me the closest road to the site. I have found places by panning the screen, and I was very surprised to find that it included at least some forest service roads, or it showed the one I was on and provided me an alternate route to the one I had come up on.
The defining moment when I decided that I would not be without one again was in driving from Laramie to Cheyenne. I found a Mexican food place in Laramie that was very good, the Garmin also provided the phone number which I used, a. to make sure the place is still open and to check menus, b. No point in eating at a place that can't pronounce the menu right, or find out it is an in and out when you wanted a meal.
When I got to Cheyenne it was about 10:30 at night and so foggy you could not see the line between the lanes until it was there. At the 80 25 interchange the fog was so dense you could not see the bridge or the lights, everything just glowed. I expanded the map on the Garmin nearly as far as I could and used it to catch the right exit, I hoped. I was only doing about 10, but you simply could not see anything until you were about to hit it, like guard rails. I didn't know that I had followed correctly until it got dark again as I moved away from the lights. I was never so glad to get to a hotel, again I just followed the Garmin, I could not read the street signs without getting out of the car. With my unfamiliarity of the area and a map being of no use if you can't see the signs, the only way I got to bed that night was due to a device I would not have bought.

Garmin has proved itself to be one of the best GPS makers in the industry. I choose this particular model after reviewing several of the other competitors available:TOMTOM, Magellan ect.) For the price, reliability, accuracy, ease of use and portability; I decided on this model. The 350 is small enough to take anywhere, it has more than enough bells and whistles(mp3 player, currency, audio books, ect.) It also pronounces street names instead of just saying "turn Right"...it says "turn right on Main St." great feature especially at night. Touch screen is easy, battery lasts a long time, acquires satelites quickly on start up. I've only found a minor issue that seemed odd to me with Garmin GPS. For some reason, their keyboard layout for punching in names is done as abcdefg...fashion NOT "qwerty". It's not a big deal, but with all the PDA's and cell phones that are qwerty keyboards today, I can't see why Garmin would go with straight alphabet leters. Overall great product, even better at $250 sale price (11/2007). Buy one and never get lost again!

The nuvi 650 is a great GPS unit. It has a detailed map and is much more accurate than 2007 editions. This unit allows you to program parameters for navigation such as if you drive a truck or car, bus, motorcycle or bicycle. The routing takes into account truck routes, fastest route, shortest route, and allows you to program in avoidances such as u-turns, toll roads, ferries, dirt roads, etc. Routing announces upcoming turns and the turn itself. Embedded into the unit is an extensive restruant, gas, attraction, and point of interest guide. Traffic info can be added to the unit for a price. It has an MP3 player, picture viewer, and many more extras. Definitly worth the investment.

It started as my toy, however, I like using this product. I can't compare this with other similiar products but it is very user friendly (especially for one that has no time to read the instruction book). I did purchase a second window suction cup and plug in for my other car to facilitate using this without any moving of attachments.

I do recommend this Garmin 350 GPS.

It's a good product...However some difficulties tracking the satellites from inside a building. Also digital keypads are arranged in alphabetic order not in the usual setting of most computer keypads, which makes typing on it kinnda awkward and difficult. Also battery is not holding on for as long as indicated in the specifications.

I have not used the one I bought because I already have one. Mine is ewxcellent and I hope my Daughter enjoys it as much. I will give it toher for her birthday in a few days

The Nuvi 350 is all you need when it comes to portable navigation. The screen is plenty big, tells you street names, and is easy to use. Unless you NEED to have music and all of the other bells and whistles (not to mention a big difference in price) on your nav unit I would recommend the Nuvi 350.
