Garmin nuvi 350
It's a great experience to try out the sleek, portable nuvi 350 from Garmin. The 350 takes the GPS concept into a wider world than just basic GPS navigation, offering an all-in-one traveler’s reference and digital entertainment system . It's really a pocket-sized personal travel assistant, and its rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or foot.
The compact Garmin Nüvi 350 has a strong GPS receiver and includes lots of travel-friendly features. No bigger than a deck of cards, the Garmin Nüvi 350 is more than just another voice-guided GPS device. This ultraportable device aims to be the ultimate travel companion, acting as a GPS navigator, a personal traveling assistant, and a digital entertainment center. Yes, it may be a little more expensive compared to other GPS units, but if you crave the latest technology and a big wow factor, the high-performance Garmin Nüvi 350 should be at the top of your list.
The Garmin Nüvi 350 is small and light enough to fit comfortably in everybody's pocket. The unit's centerpiece is a bright 3.5-inch color touch screen, framed by a thin silver bezel. The 320x240-resolution screen is daylight readable and has five backlight-timer settings. Other than a power switch located on the upper bezel, the Nüvi is devoid of function buttons. Instead, all commands are entered via the responsive touch screen and the user-friendly menu system, although you can use the power button as a shortcut to jump from screen to screen.
A flip-up antenna folds into the back of the case, right above the internal speaker and grille. Along the right side of the Garmin Nüvi 350 are an SD (Secure Digital) card slot, a USB port, and a headphone jack. The Nüvi has 2GB of internal flash memory, half of which is dedicated to the user interface and detailed maps of North America. That leaves about 1GB of storage for digital photos, music, and Audible Book files.
The Garmin Nüvi 350 is based on the SiRFstarIII GPS chip, which boasts fast satellite-acquisition times and improved GPS-signal reception in areas where the view of the sky may be partially blocked. In addition to voice-guided, turn-by-turn driving directions, this Garmin GPS offers all the usual features you'd expect from an in-car navigation system, including automatic routing, the ability to save your favorite locations, a detour function that recalculates your route when you veer off course, and 2D and 3D map views. It also has text-to-speech directions through which the actual street name is spoken, and you can hook up an optional FM traffic receiver to obtain real-time traffic alerts.
Using the Garmin Nüvi 350 is a easy. The main screen consists of three selections: Where To, View Map, and Travel Kit. The Where To page lets you search for destinations from a massive points-of-interest (POI) database, including food, lodging, and transit establishments. You can also enter an address, spell a name, and select a specific intersection, or you can simply tap a point on the map to create a route from your current position. The View Map page displays your location on the map, as well as your heading, speed, and estimated time of arrival to your destination.
The Travel Kit feature is what separates the Garmin Nüvi 350 from virtually every other GPS system. The Language Guide SD card lets you translate words and entire phrases in nine different languages. Phrases can be translated from a list of categories such as recreation, food and drink, accommodations, and transportation. The language translations, which include two English dialects, two Portuguese dialects, two Spanish dialects, French, German, and Italian, are displayed in text form and can be spoken by the Nüvi's text-to-speech interface.
Also part of the Travel Kit is an optional European Marco Polo Travel Guide SD card ($160) that offers detailed information on tourist destinations, including restaurants, hotels, shopping, and other attractions. The Travel Guide lets you create routes to each destination and provides reviews and recommendations for each location. Add to all that an MP3 player, a JPEG picture viewer with a slide-show function, a world clock, currency and measurement converters, a calculator and an Audible Book player.
The first time you power up the system, it takes around 30 seconds to obtain a 3D fix (four satellites). After that, the system is ready to navigate in a matter of seconds. Most impressive is the receiver's ability to maintain a satellite lock when your view of the sky is obscured. In the car the Nüvi workes equally well. The voice-guided driving directions are easy to comprehend and are accurate.
The nuvi 350 is truly a complete gps system, and you will be satisfied if you were to purchase one. The Garmin Nuvi 350 is head and shoulders above its competition, compared to TomTom and Magellen. The others are bulky, and the power cords are the curly awkward ones that compare to the cords of an early 80’s telephone. The power cord on the Nuvi 350 is a thin straight wire that can easily be hidden from view. But this is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of features this favored product provides. Its greatest feature is its turn-by-turn voice prompted navigation with its ability to speak the names of upcoming streets. It has a 5 hour battery life, which means you can take the device with you as you walk. The nuvi 350 is one of the best devices on the market!
