Re: I'm considering buying a GPS system for my car

Ed,

The Garmin Nuvi 350 is a great system. (I sell these for a summer job... well and many more things lol)

It has the enhanced voice commands so you get the actual street name ... something i like but at times it can be annoying...

Re: I'm considering buying a GPS system for my car

My mom also has a Garmin Nuvi 350. She drove my car for a bit, and loved the Lexus nav system, and so she wanted to find something similar to it. I haven't played around with it, but she hasn't gotten lost since, so she's happy.

Re: I'm considering buying a GPS system for my car

I have a Garmin Quest II on my motorcycle. I like the small size and color screen. It also has all the roads in the USA and has 140 meg of memory for waypoints, POI's etc...
This is my third GPS I have owned. I've had a Garmin GPS III and a GPS V. I've loved them all.
The Quest II has a problem with my 2004 Vibe windshield though. GM puts metal in it for UV protection and the Quest gets jammed by the metal.
I would rather have a portable GPS than one permanently mounted in my car. I can take the portable anywhere.

Ed, just out of curiosity, what did you pay for the Nuvi 350?

Any suggestions?
You could just take me to IRI with you! I am an amazing navigator when I'm not sleeping in the car!

Yay! Now you have a week to learn how to use it! And I can play with it when I'm not sleeping in the car!
