we origionally purchase a garmin 205 on sale for $ 199 plus tax . then , my sister tell I she just buy a garmin 350 for $ 248 online . I go to google shopping and find it brand new for $ 199 . I return the one I buy , and order it with the free shipping . I get a way better product cheaper . the main reason I want this particular one be for the vocal street name feature . the 205 do not say street name out loud . we travel a lot , so hear the street name really help when the place be unfamiliar . we origionally buy it for travel , but one day i have a bunch of errand I have to do in a part of town I be not familiar with . if I have to use my own sense of direction , I would have waste a lot of time and gas !! but , I have the neat idea of plug all of my via point in the order I want to go to they , and it map out a simple route I would have never think of . thanks garmin ! -lrb- on a side note , it also help I see if I 'll be late for work with the estimate arrival time feature that be constantly update . -rrb-
