It could have sounded better.
There are about 3 sounds worth listening to. Can't remember the last time I bought such a disappointing album unless it was Neil Diamond America. Most of the tracks have unfinished sound to them and it might have been a demo album he produced himself. I purchased the album because I heard one of the songs on Rosewood the tv series and it sounded good.

A little slow on turns, but overall worth the cash.

I needed something to wean me off of Map Quest as looking down or over to see where I needed to go next while driving was a bit dangerous and troublesome. I decided on the Nuvi 350 after looking up several models on the web and deciding on Garmin as the manufacturer I wanted to buy from. I like the ease of use the touch screen design offers, but the turn by turn and voice guided street name turns was the main reason I decided on this model.
I have tried switching the modes from car, truck, bus and walking, but the only difference I have noticed is in the warning zones in our area for trucks/busses to pull off the road in a mandatory zone. This unit seems to like to route me on seasonal roads even after being told to avoid them and has a propensity to take the "main street" route even when there is a preponderance of lights and the shorter and faster route would be a different one. I think that is just a software read that was programmed into it though.
I have downloaded and installed the newest software for the unit and the newest map update, but the roads that were completed 8 months ago are still not listed on the maps and when I take them (because the unit is telling me to take a route that no longer exists) it just shows me driving through an empty field.
If not for the aforementioned items I would consider this an excellent unit. All-in-all I would say if you are looking for a good general use navigational system the Nuvi 350 is a better than average choice and for the money is certainly a “buy it now”.
Well, we all knew it would happen, after about 4 months I bumped the car charger and broke the plastic tip. Luckily I was able to use it till the replacement arrived. I could not believe that Garmin sent me another with a plastic tip, so... I immediately went onto E-Bay and bought 2 replacements (OEM from Garmin). Imagine my surprise when I got 2 with metal tips! Do yourself a favor and get the OEM replacements as they are much better than the one that ships with the unit.
I don't know if anyone else had this trouble but my unit stopped working at the 8 month mark (it stopped tracking the satellites, troubleshooting from Garmin was no help - the antenna just stopped picking up the satellites.) I contacted Garmin and they gave me a RMA # and had me ship it back to them. They returned a refurbished unit a week later (That week was the longest!). I am so glad I bought the 3 year extended warranty.
** Update**
Here is the more than 1 year out determination:
Garmin sent me a free update to the maps and I uploaded them pretty effortlessly into the unit. It fixed the road that had been missing off the map for 8 months since I bought the unit and found a few areas that were faster travel. It still wants me to go down the main street route that takes 25 minutes rather than taking me down the expressway and arriving in 5. I just wish they had an option to take the fastest that isn't the straightest route. I'm afraid you have to be smarter than the unit in that respect.
Determination: I still think this unit is a good buy for the price, especially given the price of the extended warranty and so far not a single problem with customer service.

Not as good as the first movie.
1 of 1 found this helpful They changed all the people playing the characters for different actors and the story wasn't as well written as the 1st movie. It is almost a totally different story. The special effects were good though.
