Garmin nuvi 1350 Review

In the earlier times, if a person needed to go to a new territory or a place, he could either purchase a map or ask people for directions. There were times that one misread the map or the directions were wrong, which led to a lot of wastage of time and energy. However, these days, whether you are in your own country or a foreign land you can go wherever you want with the new Garmin nuvi 1350.

Actual user review:
• "It didn't take me long to know that I purchased a superior product. I needed the bigger volume due to my poor hearing and this has it. Also, the maps are up to date and this was a minor concern as there were homes that did not show up on my previous model. Visual aids are well managed and keeps you from saying "what?" I assume that this model is Bluetooth capable but I have not been able to pair it with my cell as yet and I am not paying someone to tell me how to do it. The manual is not as detailed as I like but I am very pleased with what it does." - K.Wohlers (Oregan, KY)

With the bright widescreen display it's easy to get the complete picture. You can get driving directions, map details, photo images all in bright colors to read in bright sunlight or the darkest of the night.

If you need to go a new place, the nuvi 1350 will ask you just two questions: “where to?” and “View map”. Once you have finalized your destination, it will tell you exactly how to proceed and give you all the street names and directions that will help you reach your destination. The City Navigator NT maps will also advise you on the speed limit on the important roads and tell you about the Points of Interest (POI). You can even know about the surrounding landscape with the help of the digital elevation maps that have shaded contours and great zoom levels. The Garmin Nüvi 1350 has an interactive user interface that allows you to toggle between screens with your finger.

The color screen also tells you the important names, addresses and services. You get voice prompted directions and street names. So, if you are in a foreign country then you don’t need to wonder how a particular street name is pronounced. The Garmin 1350 will tell you that! It also has a satellite prediction feature which helps you to calculate the distance and the position from your destination and helps you to get there quickly. Other features like money calculator, time zones and world travel clock make this device a perfect companion for a traveler!
