I just bought a Garmin NUVI 350 from Best Buy and it works great. I mostly use it in upstate NY where there a 100's of roads that nobody knows of and I have to say this thing is great. I knows them all, calls out the turns in advance, even has a detour button in the event you hit a traffic jam. ( I have used this once on the BQE going to brooklyn and it worked great!) The only complaint is that the voice is a little robotic but I got used to it over time. It has an mp3 player in it which is nice as you loaded it up with songs then connect it to my stereo, when the navigator needs to tell me to make a turn it cuts in, lowers the music and speaks, then goes right back to the music. I paid $450 for it and got the extended warranty for a little extra. the other good thing about it is that it's portable, can run on batteries in the event you are walking around in a town looking for museums, restaurants, or medical needs.
