Review of Garmin Nuvi 350 Navigation System

I was on the look out for a good navigation system for me as I am comparatively new to this country. I searched through various sources to find out the best and the optimum combination in the price and the performance for such navigation system. Finally, I purchased one such navigation system before around 3 months and have been using it almost daily since then. I am so happy about its performance that I feel it necessary to share it with all my readers of AC.

I have purchased GARMIN, nuvi make navigation system to model nuvi 350 on line on the web site of wall mart. I received my system as per the promise made online. I opened the box and found that it was packed very nicely to prevent any damage in transit. I checked the device and was pleasantly surprised to find it very attractive and more over, it did not require for me to charge it by mounting it in my car as the AC cord for home charging is supplied with this unit. The instruction manual was also so small, clear, and precise that it took only around 10 minutes for me to set it. As soon as I took it out, the powerful reception of the satellite signal was obtained indicating four dark bars on top of the screen. The system screen was also covered with the thin paper initially so as to protect it thoroughly till its actual use begins. I was able to set my home address and all the detailed addresses of my friends and relatives staying in this area in no time. The mounting of this system on the car windshield was also very simple and took only around 5 minutes.

I took a test drive entering the address of my cousin brother and gave a go to the navigation system. The system started functioning almost immediately giving me the directions in a clear voice of a lady in American English. I was really very happy when I found out that the system was also speaking the name of the street and direction of turn both. Normally, in all such systems I have seen the system tells you to take left or right turn without speaking the name of the street. This has been really a big turning point in favor of this GARMIN, nuvi 350 systems. This system also allows adding one stop on the way. This also is a unique feature of the system. Moreover, you can easily adjust the brightness and the sound volume of the system. It also was found working for around 3 hours just on battery without any external power source. It also has a feature to play the audible books and the songs of your choice, once they are unloaded from the computer. The necessary cord to unload such items of your choice from your computer is also supplied as an accessory with the system. The system can also give the traffic information of your area and you can know of such incidents that have resulted in to traffic jam in advance so as to take suitable route in the beginning.

All such positive aspects have increased my confidence tremendously while traveling alone on the high ways, even at night. I have found a real personal travel assistant in this system. In spite of using it extensively during last three months, I am still yet to find out any shortcomings of the system. I am really very satisfied customer. Can you imagine I purchased this system online just at the rate of $199.99 without taxes? The total amount came to around $210 with taxes. I strongly feel that this is really the best price when you consider all the unique features offered by this versatile system. I strongly recommend this system to all my readers of AC who are on the look out for such navigation system.
