ive try several gp unit from Magellan & Garmin & I believe the nuvus 350 was\/is the best of they . the display on the Garmin 350 be much cleaner than the Magellan 2000 or 3000 & the touch screen be far easier to use than all the different button on the Magellan . and when youre drive down the highway at speed that could kill , you dont want something that go to take you attention away from what youre do . of the Garmin 330 , 340 & 350 I think the satellite reception be faster & more reliable on the NUVI 350 . it always located instantly inside or out & the only time ive lose reception be in a tunnel . deep inside a tunnel . I also prefer the compact size of the 350 . however , that small size come with the price of reduce the speaker -lrb- s -rrb- to 1 small rear mount speaker that face the windshield . this probably fall under the head of a `` personal problem '' as im a long distance truck driver & the truck be fairly loud & im fairly hard of hearing after a few year of these condition . I dont use the NUVI 350 in my car but I suspect the condition allow you to hear it much better . my only other complaint -lrb- and its a small one under that personal problem head again -rrb- be that you cant put more than two -lrb- 2 -rrb- destination in at a time . you can put many different location in the favorite or recently view list ahead of time & then just pick they when you get ready to leave you current or last destination . the NUVI 350 be very versatile & there be several `` work around '' to get what you need out of it . also , if you have no clue as to the address of a location but you do know or have a good idea where it be , you can use a stylus & -lrb- - -rrb- or -lrb- + -rrb- to pinpoint the location & then set it for route . in this mode you can also use you fingertip to `` slide '' the map around to locate a area . very nice & useful . I also like the constant northern point arrow to keep I orient , the 3d map & the clear direction & turn arrow . there also the stats & direction screen that be available at you fingertip . very easy to read & toggle to & from while drive . I havent use the mp3 player or the other function available & probably wont . although id like to hear more from other about the traffic watch service as that could be a useful tool in the right place . all the review ive read -lrb- although they be few -rrb- that didnt give the nuvus 350 at least 4 star seem a little silly . nothing personal , they just seem way over expectant . its just a gp unit after all ... overall , the NUVI 350 ia a great tool . I spend less time look for street sign & address & more time watch out for the traffic all around I . im more confidant when go into larger city & rural area as well as street & road be clearly mark on the NUVI 350 even if there be no sign in sight .
