review on garmins nuvi 350 I was anxious after reading so many amazing and positive garmin nuvi 350 reviews that perhaps I was setting myself up to be disappointed with over expectations from a cheap little piece of gadgetry, but after I ordered and received it, I was happy to realize that the nuvi 350 would live up to the hype that it has garnered on the internet review comments and the expectations I had built from reading so much positive information on it.

One thing I was concerned about was that maybe the screen would be too small and that perhaps one of the 600 series widescreens would be preferable, but after using it for a while, I actually barely need to glance at the screen as the voice directions are incredibly clear and precise and give you more then enough time to prepare for upcoming turns and changes of direction and speed.

It is also incredibly easy to use and very intuitive in control, with everything being well laid out and easy to scroll and find through the touchscreen menu system. Finding anything from grocery stores to particular types of restaurants in your vacinity is not only convieniant but very simple. One thing that I will note but I was prepared for after reading a few negative aspect in various garmin nuvi 350 review sites was that sometimes street names would be mispronounced, and I found this to be true in some places I have travelled to as well, and find the best voice to help correct this is actually the male British voice where it sounds less computerized and pronounces street names more accurately in many instances.

All in all it DOES live up to the hype, which you will find much of and positive praise as well, I will highly recommend and praise it as well and hope that more people get the satisfaction out of ordering their own Nuvi 350 gps system!
