the Garmin Nuvi 350 be my third gp , and it be by far the best unit I have use . as a avid GPS user , I can not express enough praise for this unit . with its large touch screen , complete U.S. street map , built-in mp3 player , jpeg viewer , voice output navigation , this be one sweet unit . I hook be up out of the box , and it work perfectly for I in just minute . -lrb- to discover all its feature , however , I admit that I do have to scan through the paper manual , and then I read the . pdf manual that be include with the unit . -rrb- this be a extremely simple unit to use , and it be very intuitive . at first , I think I would not like its limited set of screen and menu , but with use , I have come to appreciate how Garmin simply remove the clutter that multiple option give I on previous unit . most shocking be how inexpensive and yet powerful this unit be . my last Garmin be a Quest -lrb- with color screen -rrb- for which I pay about $ 500 in 2006 . this Nuvi be much faster , have a bigger screen , and provide far more capability than my previous unit . for I , this be a quantum leap forward in technology in just a 2-year period of time . I really appreciate the fact that it take a sd card . I buy a 2gb card and have load almost 30 cd of music , and there be still room to spare . I just plug the output of the Nuvi into my car stereo -lrb- via a cassette adapter -rrb- , and I no longer have to carry a bunch of cd with I any more . some thing this unit do not provide include track log , route , and a few other odds and end , which I think I would miss . but within a very short time , I realize I do not need those thing to navigate with ease . thank you , Garmin , for make such a compact , intuitive , and feature-packed unit . the Nuvi 350 be a real winner for both novice and experienced gp user .
