Accuracy 5 Ease of use 5 Durability 5 Cost/Benefit 4 Overall Rating 4.8	no summary Reviewed by Laura R. from Thousand Oaks, CA on 06/22/2006 06:16 pm I purchased and returned a Magellan 760. The Magellan was huge in comparision, had no battery power, and the 10 buttons are confusing. It takes a long time to get ready too. The Nuvi 350 is simple, small and very fast. I use it on battery mode! Fits in my purse. Great speakers. Great screen. Wow. It clicks easily into its cradle. It unclicks easily too. Nice software. Very accurate maps. Great features! It's simply an amazing gadget and it's fast becoming a must travel tool for me.

Accuracy 4 Ease of use 4 Durability 4 Cost/Benefit 4 Overall Rating 4.0	New Nuvi Reviewed by Rey R. from Manhattan Beach, Calif. on 06/01/2006 06:26 pm A friend referred the new Nuvi 360 to me but after looking into it I found the 360 is not available for another 2 to 3 month. I didn't think I will be using the bluetooth handsfree feature in the 360 so I decided to get the 350 instead. It's cheaper and just as good. Great deal and works great just like my friend said. (He is an experienced GPS user). I like the sleek design, the great user interface. Once word to describe it: "EASY".
Accuracy 5 Ease of use 5 Durability 5 Cost/Benefit 3 Overall Rating 4.5	My Travel Assistant Reviewed by Thomas J. from Long Beach, CA on 06/01/2006 12:55 pm I saw a Garmin ad in an in-flight magazine and did some research and bought my Nuvi about a month ago and I still can't believe what a great product this is. If you travel in U.S. and Canada often, (even to Europe) this is the ideal GPS unit for you. I have read many reviews and I agree with them all and I still can not find weakness in this unit. I just download the new Vehicle Icon from Garmin's website. They even have a little yellow sports car icon that looks like my yellow Z. This new updates are free and could easily be downloaded. Very cool!

Reviewed by Patty from Los Angeles, CA on 05/25/2006 10:28 pm I found you and bought this after my girfriend show me her Nuvi. It was so easy and simple for someone who isn't techy at all...not to mention the sleek and efficent design. I went to New York for business earlier this week and was able to find every address as well as restaurants and other locales with ease! I have shown to 2 directionally challenged coworkers this and they all bought one! Thanks!
Accuracy 5 Ease of use 5 Durability 5 Cost/Benefit 4 Overall Rating 4.8	I just love my sexy new Nuvi Reviewed by Grandma Gloria from Manhattan Beach, CA on 05/23/2006 08:07 pm I felt in love with this great GPS, MP3 Player, Audiblebook Player and Picture Viewer etc. at first sight. It's everything I have read on all the review and more. I can't believe how much the Nuvi has improved my life. I have already finished the 3 free audible books I downloaded from the free offer. The best part is that I have not gotten lost since I found Nuvi. I just love that I can simply type in "Star" at any time and find the nearest Starbucks and usually there will be 6 or 7 of them within 3 miles from my car. My long wish has come true! I will learn to download some MP3 next and can't wait to see my grandson's reaction.
