Re: Which Garmin Nuvi Model is Good?

Phil,

I know that you are a professional and that you have accomplished the goals you set for yourself.

A tip of the hat to the both of you.

That said, spend a few dollars more and get a NUVI 350 with voice prompts.

From experience I have found it to be a great asset.

I can't tell you the number of times I have had directions on the QC, confirmation via a call to the shipper/consignee and my new ring bound trucker's Atlas only to find the turn to be obscured by traffic, construction, weather conditions, etc.

Miss a few turns, hunt a place to turn around and then drive over the ground really adds up over a year's time.

UPS's new routing testifies to inefficient turns.

When the NUVI 350 says "Turn in .01 miles, counts down 500,400...100...Turn Here"

It helps.
