Review of the Garmin Nuvi 350 Travel Assistant

by Joseph Aaron

The Garmin Nuvi 350 Personal Travel Assistant is a great bargain at under four hundred dollars. The item is equipped with maps of the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and Mexico. In addition, the Nuvi 350 has a very clear way of speaking, giving you simple directions as you journey.

What You Get

When you purchase the Garmin Nuvi 350, you also get a well-designed item which is diminutive enough to carry with you both on foot or in an automobile. The item comes armed with detachable suction cups to easily attach to the dashboard in your car.

You can easily charge your Garmin Nuvi 350 by using either a cigarette lighter adaptor or a regular plug-in adaptor at home. Both adaptors are shipped with the package when you purchase the navigator. You will also receive a user's instruction booklet to teach you how to utilize the options of the Nuvi 350.

Features

The Garmin Nuvi 350 Personal Travel Assistant has several options that make it a good choice for anyone. The system itself was made to remain in place across bumpy roads; it manages this by using a ball-and-socket structure. The navigator also comes equipped with an MP3 player so you can enjoy music even if you are hiking with your Nuvi 350.

The maps may also be augmented through updates, although it will cost you a little extra each time you update your maps. Extra maps are offered several times a year and you merely have to update your personal Nuvi 350 when you have a reason.

Travel Kit

The travel kit that will already be on the Garmin Nuvi 350 Personal Travel Assistant is a fun feature. You are able to utilize the Travel Kit to search for your photos and MP3 songs, and to examine any of your other travel guides. These travel guides may be bought for a huge selection of other countries and can be helpful when you are taking a vacation. The majority of the guides cost less than eighty dollars, although the costs could vary according to which travel guide you would like to buy.

Additional Features

The Garmin Nuvi 350 Travel Assistant also includes quite a few additional tools, encompassing current traffic information for cities and a huge amount of information on the coolest areas in the cities to which your journeys take you. The traffic updater does require that you buy additional software, but it is an invaluable resource when you need to stay clear of the five o'clock rush.

The Garmin Nuvi 350 also makes use of street names to give you directions, rather than just offering feet or miles. This makes it easy to be confident about where you are going even if you are visiting a new city. You can work out your routes, shift your routes, and add stops to your route with ease thanks to a touch screen.
