the Garmin nuvus 350 be the best gp system in its class that you can buy . Amazon be have a incredible sale when I buy mine about 6 week ago . I do not necessarily need the mp3 player built-in , but hey , it be only $ 20 more than the next step down of the Garmin GPS system which do the same as the 350 . I do not travel a lot , but it be very handy when I go out to Dallas to see my brother . I want to go to a art museum after my flight land . I pick up my rental car , punch in the address and voilum ! no problem . I really enjoy the feature that help you find restaurant , gas station , etc. . it find we a great coffee bar when we go to a town we have never be in . it give we the name , address and phone number as well . the great thing about the 350 be that it speak the street name . if you can afford it , get this feature . it be a lot better than try to decide at a major highway intersection which of the 3 road that merge to the leave to take . I be very pleased with my purchase . Birmingham , AL
