A Super GPS System - Garmin Nuvi 350

by Joseph Aaron

The Garmin Nuvi 350 Personal Travel Assistant is a wonderful value at under four hundred dollars. The product arrives pre-loaded with maps of the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and Mexico. As an extra advantage, the Nuvi 350 has a very clear way of speaking, offering you understandable instructions as you journey.

What You Get

When you get the Garmin Nuvi 350, you even get a great-looking piece of technology which is diminutive enough to take with you both when walking or in the car. The item comes armed with easily-removed suction cups to easily attach to a surface in your truck.

You can easily charge your Garmin Nuvi 350 through plugging it into either a cigarette lighter adaptor or a standard plug-in adaptor inside. Both adaptors will be included in the package when you get the navigator. You will also receive a guide to help you understand and use the system of the Nuvi 350.

Features

The Garmin Nuvi 350 Personal Travel Assistant has quite a selection of features that make it a good choice for any traveler. The system itself was made to stay put even when you drive over bumpy roads; it manages this through a ball-and-socket system. The product also will arrive with an MP3 player so you can enjoy music even when you are out walking with your Nuvi 350.

The maps can also be updated, although it will cost you a little extra whenever you want to update your maps. New maps are up for grabs several times a year and you just have to update your personal Nuvi 350 when you feel it is the right time.

Travel Kit

The travel kit that comes installed on the Garmin Nuvi 350 Personal Travel Assistant is a neat bonus. You are able to use the Travel Kit to find your photos and MP3 songs, and to examine any of your additional travel guides. These travel guides can be purchased for a great number of other countries and can be put into service when you are in the midst of a vacation. The majority of the guides cost less than eighty dollars, although the fees may be different depending on which travel guide you want to get.

Additional Features

The Garmin Nuvi 350 Travel Assistant also includes several add-on features, including instant traffic information for cities and a giant amount of data on the coolest areas in the cities to which your journeys take you. The traffic updater does require that you buy more software, but it is quite beneficial when you have to avoid the five o'clock rush.

The Garmin Nuvi 350 also makes use of street names as it gives directions, rather than just offering feet or miles. This can help you know where you are headed even if you are traveling through a new city. You can work out your routes, shift your routes, and add rest stops to your route with very little trouble due to a touch screen.
