garmin nuvi 350 user here too.
pros: small size, fairly accurate, includes canada and mexico as well.
cons: short battery life if using it to walk around, no blue tooth if you want to use it with your cell in the car.

I only use my nuvi in the car so I've never noticed the battery life. Houston is much too big geographically to walk around trying to find stuff. As for the blue tooth thing, i don't receive all that many cell calls to need it.

Hey rudywoofs do you have a BJ's in the area? If you do they are having a sale Nov. 28-30 and are selling the garmin nuvi 250 for 169.99 (129.99 w/coupon).
I believe all bj's are the same throughout the US. I think you have to buy it online but I'm not positive.

If you want to get the 350, than why not purchase the 760 which is better and also a $100.00 savings at BJs for $249.99. Which I believe is cheaper than the 350.

wow...what a great deal. But I just don't have the money to spend. I'm still trying to decide whether or not I can afford the nuvi 200 @ $128 or the nuvi 350 @ $148. Hard decision when you're hard up for $$.
thanks for the info pk..

I broke down and bought a Garmin 350 on sale. Any "quirks" I ought to know about it that you owners know about?
