GPS and More: Garmin nüvi 350

It seems like the line between electronic device capabilities is blurring. This is just one more example but one that makes perfect sense. The Garmin nüvi 350 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator is a compact 700 MB GPS navigator with MP3, audio book player, photo viewer, and world travel clock. It’s small enough to fit in a pocket and can be mounted on a vehicle windshield. It has a 320x240 touchscreen display and a SD memory card slot.

Additional software add-ons are available, such as the Garmin Language Guide, with data provided by Oxford University Press. This software suite contains a multilingual word bank, phrase bank, and five bilingual dictionaries. The multilingual word bank and phrase bank supports nine languages and dialects. Through the unit's text-to-speech interface, users can get a spoken pronunciation of each entry in the word bank, along with gender and part of speech information.

Another useful add-on software package, the Garmin Travel Guide, is loaded with information provided by Marco Polo. These guides put in-depth travel information such as reviews and recommendations for restaurants, tourist attractions, and more at your fingertips.

What's truly impressive is that over 1000 people gave this device a perfect 5-star rating at Amazon.com.
