Just wondering if anyone has used this particular model of GPS.

I just bought the Nuvi 350.
Waiting for the unit to arrive.
Same as the 360 without Bluetooth.
My Camry has Bluetooth.

I've read great reviews on the 350.
Nice to have a unit I can move from vehicle to vehicle.
I'm about toi buy one of thiose A/C vent mounts.

Please post a review after using it for a few days. I was considering the 360.

Thanks

I have a 350... like Joe said... same as the 360 minus the bluetooth...

This unit is hands down the best GPS I've ever used. It's pretty quick to get a lock on satellites and I can even connect inside buildings which I haven't been able to do with many other units. The interface is very straight-forward and easy to use even when you're driving. The screen is a little small so it's prone to miskeying things, but the tradeoff is the incredible portability of the thing. It spends most of it's life in the console of my camry, but it's nice knowing I can slide it in my pocket easily...

I've used an older Garmin StreetPilot, GPSMAP 60CS, Eclipse 50D, Factory Prius NAV (essentially the same as the eclipse), Verizon's on-phone GPS and an Alpine Blackbird (Magellan-based... complete and utter garbage). Out of all of those, I would take the nuvi every time. While I can go on and on (and already pretty much have...) the bottom line is that this unit works absolutely brilliantly.
