GPS 4.3" Widescreen

[Jack & Donna Smith]

I have the Garmin Nuvi 350 and love it. Very accurate and easy to
use. The "Deck of Cards" size makes it easy to carry by its self,
and the car mount works very well. It has many options, Address,
Cross streets, and even Lat & Lon co-ordinates. (Have to try that in
the Jeep when off road in the center of nowhere) Any problems and
the factory tech support very good.
I wouldnt worry much about the bit larger screen, as I seldom watch
the screen on my 350 Several years ago, I had (& still have) a GPS
nav unit to use with my laptop, but the Garmin is better..
Just need multiple power ports in the vehicle when the Garmin,
CelPhone, MP3 Ect Ect Ect are used at the same time :-)
