The Garmin Nuvi 350 is:

• A compact 700 MB GPS navigator with bundled MP3/audiobook player, photo viewer, and world travel clock
• Small enough to fit in a pocket or purse; mounts on vehicle windshield with included suction cup
• Preloaded with City Navigator NT V.8 with maps of U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico

Other features include:

• Turn-by-turn directions, automatic routing, and 320 x 240 color touchscreen display
• Secure Digital (SD) memory card slot; measures 3.87 x 2.91 x 0.87 inches (W x H x D)

Weighing 5.1 ounces and measuring just 3.87 x 2.91 x 0.87 inches (WxHxD), the Garmin Nuvi 350 is just right for the pocket or purse. Its 64,000-color display dominates the front of the device and with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, there is plenty of room for displaying map data and other elements of the device’s interface. An SD memory card slot is provided for expansion software, such as a points of interest database, media files and electronic guides. The flip-up antenna includes an MCX-type connector for connecting the unit to an external GPS antenna.
For the ultimate listening pleasure, a powerful built-in speaker resides on the back of device. A built-in lithium ion battery provides up to eight hours of battery life, depending on usage. In addition to an AC charger, the unit also ships with a 12-volt power adapter for vehicle charging, as well as a windshield suction cup mount.

Fortunately, Garmin has made it easy to interface with the Garmin Nuvi 350’s 700 megabytes of onboard memory, thanks to “plug-and-play” USB mass storage support. Just plug the device into your computer’s USB port and you’ve got instantaneous access to all the audio books, music, photos, supplemental maps and other data on the Garmin Nuvi 350’s internal and SD card memory.

Navigation
The Garmin Nuvi 350 is first and foremost a personal gps device. Wherever you are, the device offers extremely accurate position data, thanks to a high-sensitivity integrated GPS receiver by SiRF and WAAS-enabled, 12-satellite reception. Combined with detailed maps of the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico the Garmin Nuvi 350 provides automatic routing, turn-by-turn voice directions, and touchscreen control– making it easy to find your way anywhere. Plus, the unique “text-to-speech” feature calls out turns by street name, and you can choose from either 2D or 3D mapping perspectives when you’re viewing your route on the display. Additionally, the Garmin Nuvi 350 is compatible with Garmin’s GTM 10 FM TMC traffic receiver*, which allows users to avoid traffic tie-ups by simply pushing a button that will calculate a new route.

As mentioned, the nüvi 350 comes packed with mapping data for North America, but you can can also load up your custom points of interest. Set up proximity alerts for school zones, safety cameras, and more using Garmin’s free POI (points of interest) loader program.
