"great gadget"

by gadgetsguy on December 3, 2005

Pros: use right out of the box... very accurate... fast recalculating

Cons: price is too high
Summary: Recently I decided to get a GPS. After much research and when I was almost decided on one, I came across the nuvi 350 in an article from Garmin around October (before it was available) and fell in love with it. I patiently waited for a review finally finding the one by Craig Ellison in PC Mag. It was a great review. I then started searching for prices, found it for $682 at Beach Audio and ordered one. Before placing the order, I called them and they said they had 14 in stock. The next day they cancelled my order and removed the item from their web site. When I contacted them, they told me they were out of stock and not going to get any more. I checked their website and they carry just about every Garmin product. I'm sure they decided they had made a mistake in the price and decided not to honor my order, the bastards. Today I decided to shell out the $899 everybody is asking for it and got one. I opened the box in the store's parking lot and after setting up the time zone and language, I entered my home address and was on my way home. I intentionally missed my turn a couple of times and it recalculated before I got to the next corner. It was very fast and accurate. When I got stock in traffic and slowed down, it added more time to my ?arrival time? and then took away a couple of minutes as I started to move faster. This is my first GPS but after riding around for a couple of hours with it I am finding that it was everything I expected and more. I just started to play around with the travel features. I speak two languages and when I tried the translation, it was very accurate. As I write this, I am uploading mp3?s and a couple of pictures into its extra memory.

I would definitely recommend this product. I think Garmin did a great job.
