Customer Reviews
Fits My Nuvi 255W Perfectly Just got this installed and it does look nice. I think there is a little more glare as one reviewer has also noted. Will check it out tonight in the vehicle. I got these from SF Planet and on the envelope there was a web address given. Went to the web page and there were very detailed instructions as well as a picture on how to install. Glad I read it because I overlooked the numbers on the blue and red tags (#1 and #2). My eyesight isn't what it used to be! Peel off #1 blue tag - apply to device - smooth out with credit card - peel off #2 red tag - Done! It was real easy. Time will tell as to how long they will last, but I sure can't complain about the price. Took about 4 days from time of order to receive. No complaints with SF Planet. SF Planet instructional web page URL is below.

PERFECT PRODUCT ! Previously had tried the universal fit screen protector from another source and it was a bother to cut and fit and apply.... This was perfect and installed in 30 seconds without reading the instructions... and allows the gps touch screen to function perfectly ! A + ! (Those of you that had issues - are you sure you used the screen protector or one of the TWO protectors that protected the screen protector ???) Could see where that could happen - the real screen protector is sandwiched between two THIN tabbed films.... just an fyi..... :)
You Need This: I was at first skeptical of this item because of the reviews saying it was hard to install and that they needed all 3 before they finally got it right. What are they talking about????? 30 seconds after opening the package, my Garmin GPS was screen protected and looking like it had just come out the box. Buy this item and be at ease at how easy it is to put on your screen. NO cutting or modifying, just peel the back off, and stick on the screen.

Editorial Reviews Garmin nüvi 350 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Factory Refurbished)From Garmin

Amazon.com Product Description This is a refurbished GPS. Refurbished generally means that the unit has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the navigator back to like new conditions. Some GPS may contain cosmetic blemishes.What if one device could help you navigate anywhere in the U.S. andCanada, while offering travel tips, storing your favorite tunes and photos, providing translation assistance, and more? That device is here, and it's not much bigger than a deck of cards. The Garmin nüvi 350 is set to revolutionize what we expect from a GPS navigation device, or from any device for that matter.

Which nüvi is Best for You?: Click here to see a quick, simple comparison of features for all Garmin nuvi GPS navigators

DesignWith a total weight of 5.1 ounces and slim measurements of 3.87 x 2.91 x 0.87 inches (WxHxD), the nüvi 350 is just right for the pocket or purse. A bright, 64,000-color display dominates the front of the device and a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels means that there's plenty of room for displaying map data and other elements of the device's interface. An SD memory card slot is provided for expansion software, such as a points of interest database, media files and electronic guides (see below). The flip-up antenna includes an MCX-type connector for connecting the unit to an external GPS antenna. Meanwhile, a powerful built-in speaker resides on the back of device. A built-in lithium ion battery will give you for to eight hours of battery life, depending on use. In addition to an AC charger, the unit also ships with a 12-volt power adapter for vehicle charging, as well as a windshield suction cup mount.
Fortunately, Garmin has made it easy to interface with the nüvi 350's 700 megabytes of onboard memory, thanks to "plug-and-play" USB mass storage support. Just plug the device into your computer's USB port and you've got instantaneous access to all the audio books, music, photos, supplemental maps and other data on the nüvi 350's internal and SD card memory.
NavigationThe nüvi 350 is first and foremost a personal GPS device. Wherever you go -- in your car or on foot-- the device offers extremely accurate position data, thanks to a high-sensitivity integrated GPS receiver by SiRF and WAAS-enabled, 12-satellite reception. Combined with detailed maps of the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico the nüvi 350 provides automatic routing, turn-by-turn voice directions, and touchscreen control-- making it easy to find your way anywhere. Plus, the unique "text-to-speech" feature calls out turns by street name, and you can choose from either 2D or 3D mapping perspectives when you're viewing your route on the display. Additionally, the nüvi 350 is compatible with Garmin's GTM 10 FM TMC traffic receiver*, which allows users to avoid traffic tie-ups by simply pushing a button that will calculate a new route.
As mentioned, the nüvi 350 comes packed with mapping data for North America, but you can can also load up your custom points of interest. Set up proximity alerts for school zones, safety cameras, and more using Garmin's free POI (points of interest) loader program (available from garmin.com).
Important note about map updates: Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our Garmin Store.
Tools for the JourneyNavigation is just part of the journey, and the nüvi 350 is one of the first devices to recognize that. The built-in "Travel Kit" offers an MP3 player, an audio book player from Audible.com, a jpeg-format picture viewer, a world travel clock with time zones, a currency converter, a measurement converter, and a calculator.
In addition to the included travel tools, 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, including American English, British English, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, European Spanish, and Latin American Spanish. Now you can look up and translate more than 17,000 words or 20,000 phrases per language -- right in the palm of your hand. 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. The software allows you to navigate to an address or search points of interest-- places like hotels, restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions. The nüvi 350 automatically calculates the fastest route and provides voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions along the way. The unit also audibly announces the name of upcoming streets-- letting you keep your eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic and tricky roadways. And if you stray off course, the nüvi 350 automatically calculates the quickest way to get back on track.
*Traffic services available only in select cities where RDS-TMC coverage exists. Requires the GTM 10 FM TMC traffic receiver and subscription fee to enable traffic capability.

Customer Reviews Garmin nüvi 350 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Factory Refurbished)From Garmin

Garmin is great! Garmin is great!.. I have the 360 and have learned a great deal about using it. It helps greatly with information about gas stations, restaurants, hotels and avoiding construction. We have traveled for years and this is the best aid we've ever had.
Love it! My Magellan took forever to locate me - the best feature about the Nuvi is how quickly it finds your location when you turn on the unit. Magellan took sometimes up to 10 minutes - Nuvi takes no more than 2 minutes. Other great features are portablity and size, user friendly, very lightweight, easy to read. Cons are notfication of turns, exits, etc., which occur within .5 miles from the exit, Magellan gives a two mile and 1 mile and .5 mile notification. This gives driver ample time to maneuver especially on unfamiliar roadways and heavy traffic. Otherwise great unit for the money with many great features including hands free! I highly recommend it.
An exceptional GPS It's done all it was advertised to do!!! My only regret is my cell phone is not one that is compatible for it's blue tooth capability.

Customer Reviews Garmin nuvi 205 3.5-Inch Portable GPS NavigatorFrom Garmin
First GPS This is the first GPS I have owned so don't have anything to compare it with, but it works great. The only problem I have had is in rural areas it has been off a little bit at times, but nothing major and in populated areas it works great. Liked it so much a bought a second one, exactly the same (refurbished and all -- I'm cheap!)
Great! Since I have already owned the Nuvi 200, I will base my review off the improvments I see from the previous model. It is basically the same thing, same size but there are some new features like what the spped limit is, "where am i?" for emergencys & one noticeable ting is the screen animation when driving is more fluid/smooth and not so jerky....Highly recommend it.
My GPS got me lost! I just recently started geocaching (if you're saying "Huh?" check out geocaching.com), and when my parents came to town, I got them into it also. They already have a GPS (they use it for driving) so I decided to get one for myself. I had a different one ordered on Amazon.com but for some reason, it wasn't going to be shipped out for a few more days! So I gave up and went to Wal-Mart after work and looked at their (very small) selection. I chose the Nuvi 205 and when I got home I checked out the reviews. Mostly good reviews (sorry to lower the average!) so I was happy. My geocaching wasn't the greatest and I figured it was because I wasn't used to it yet. I picked the British accent and named it Lady Victoria. My parents call theirs Betsy. Today at work, I really tested it out. On my 30 minute lunchbreak, I went to look for a nearby cache. Just me and my GPS. No parents and no Betsy. Didn't find the loot but I thought part of the problem was because I was trying to rush (ended up being late from my lunch anyway! Oops). When it was time to go home, I told Lady to "Take me home". I normally get right on the interstate. Very easy. Not for Lady! "Turn left here!" O..k... Down into a residental area. She kept wanting me to go left....right away. Who cares if I wasn't in the correct lane and if there was traffic behind me (it was late at night so I didn't have to worry about that). So I was kinda lost and trying to compromise with her. Got to where I knew exactly where I was but I gave her one more chance. Bad mistake. "Turn left here!" WHY???? Then I was too busy trying to figure it out that I got totally lost...in the wrong part of town. I shut Lady off and finally found myself. I could read maps better than the GPS! I think I'll return it and get another type. Today I received my charging at home adapter in the mail (forgot to buy one when I bought Lady). I might just return it to Amazon, unless I purchase another GPS that I could use it on.

Editorial Reviews Garmin nüvi 500 3.5-Inch Portable GPS NavigatorFrom Garmin

Amazon.com Manufacturer's Review (July 22, 2008)Perfect for crossing over the threshold from city to backcountry, the Garmin nüvi 500 provides a high-sensitivity GPS receiver with turn-by-turn navigation in a ruggedized, waterproof exterior that you can use while hiking, biking, or boating. With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix satellite prediction, nüvi 500 locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons--whether in the city or out in the wilds. And it easily switches modes (driving, walking, biking and boating) to navigate through your active lifestyle depending on your activity. Other features include a 3.5-inch touchscreen, microSD memory expansion, geocaching GPX file capabilities for complete cache descriptions and hints, and Garmin Connect Photos--enabling you to associate your favorite images with saved locations.

The nüvi 500 comes preloaded with the highly detailed City Navigator North America NT maps for the lower 48 states, which also includes topographic maps for a better perspective of your elevation. The map data, provided by NAVTEQ, features over six million points of interest, including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs and attractions.
The DEM basemap (above) provides shaded contours, and the nüvi also includes a digital compass.
Weighing 7.6 ounces and measuring less than an inch thin, the nüvi 500 fits easily in a purse, backpack, or jacket pocket. The 3.5-inch color touchscreen display (with 320 x 240-pixel resolution) is easy to read even in direct sunlight, and the nüvi's easy-to-use interface means you'll spend more time enjoying the outdoors and less time searching for information. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about your trip. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with turn-by-turn voice directions, 2-D or 3-D maps and smooth map updates as you navigate. Its digital elevation model (DEM) mapping shows you shaded contours at higher zoom levels, giving you a big picture of the surrounding terrain. In addition, the nüvi accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.
Garmin's HotFix capability automatically calculates and stores satellite locations, greatly reducing satellite acquisition time so that you can turn the unit on and get going. With HotFix, your nüvi 500 remembers the position of all satellites it is tracking when you turn it off, and calculates their movements in order to predict where they should be the next time you turn it on. HotFix can predict satellite positions for up to 3 days after the device was last turned off.
Conveniently plug in optional preloaded microSD memory cards for all your outdoor activities on land or water. Just insert an optional Garmin MapSource card with detailed street maps (such as for locales outside the United States), and the nüvi 500 provides turn-by-turn directions to your destination. And with optional BlueChart g2 Vision maps, you'll get everything you need for a great day on the water including depth contours, navaids and harbors.
A user-replaceable lithium-ion battery will give you up to eight hours of battery life (depending on use). In addition to an AC charger, the unit also ships with a 12-volt power adapter for vehicle charging, as well as a windshield suction cup mount.

Customer Reviews Garmin nüvi 500 3.5-Inch Portable GPS NavigatorFrom Garmin

Not bad, but not all good either. This unit is fairly nice, but its more of an on-the-road GPS. It has a terrific 3D view and works well at guiding you down the road. It does lack any way of holding it when in the back country though, and has no screen lock for when you throw it in your backpack, so the touch screen goes nuts while in the pack. It also only comes with the 1:100K TOPO's which are about as useless as they get in the woods, and at the moment Garmin has no TOPO 1:24K maps for the NorthEast, and you have to purchase those separately. There is support for Raster images, but no way to create Raster Maps, which would be a major plus if we could load on USGS 24K maps, which are superior to the ones Garmin uses. I also found the Address lookup ability, which a GPS unit should excel at, was quite useless. There just isnt enough addresses in the unit, it has serious troubles when looking up small towns addresses. I have a legal address and zip code and it refuses to accept it. It will suggest the next town over, or a location several miles from my home, and this is normal for all Garmin's. I find this annoying, because like I said, this should be its strong suit, it is a GPS unit afterall. I did find some custom made 1:24K maps online, and they are pretty good, but no where near as good as the USGS. Its a good unit, but they didnt think it thru very well, maybe the next generation of this unit will fair better. Things that need to be changed or added: 1) Should come with 1:24K Maps 2) They need to get the Raster ability working so we can load USGS 1:24K 3) Address lookups need to be updated/expanded and more accurate(This is a real let down right now) 4) Needs a place to hookup up a strap so you have a way to secure it while carrying it around. 5) Desperately needs a Screen Lock, even Garmin's vehicle units have this, but a Cross-Over unit that spends its time in the woods/backpacks doesnt? 6) Should be smaller, its just a little to large to carry around or hold.(Maybe adding the ability to turn the unit and have the screen view turn with you, its easier to hold the unit the long way)
Excellent unit.. but know something about map updates The Nuvi 500 (vs. the 550) has TOPO maps of the US. Great, but this creates an issue when Garmin releases new maps for their GPSes. The 2010 maps for this will not be available until summer, and if the included 2009 maps are any indication, they may be out of date compared to the standard 2010 maps for their other units. For example, in Milwaukee a major construction for the interstates is completed and included with the 2009 maps for the rest of the GPS line, but it is NOT in the 2009 map version for the Nuvi 500. There is also debate on if Garmin's Lifetime mapping program will be available for this. If you do not need the TOPO maps, and want more up to date maps, you may want to get the Nuvi 550.
cool machine my first gps . easy to use - survived well my first heavy off-raod trip - lots of mud and water around and it run beautiful - after it, i cleaned it and looks as new - i live in brazil .... working great here ... only had to load southamerica map ... rgds !

Customer Reviews
Case for Garmin 255W - Excellent! I purchased this case for my new Nuvi 255W. This case much better then an original Garmin case. Design is better for inserting and removing GPS and at very reasonal price. Material is high quality and slick. This will protect GPS well and don't take up much space. Highly recommended!
Nice Case I ordered this for my Nuvi 765T. It's a nice case, and I like the look, but it's just a bit wider than it needs to be. I wish it was a little more slim.
Great case, great protection I was a little skeptical of this case because I wanted one that had a full cover on the top latch, but I went ahead and purchases it anyways. I am sure glad that I did that. The case is great quality, perfect shape and does exactly what is needs to, protects my GPS unit. The magnetic latch is wonderful. Pair this with the screen protectors and the unit will stay in perfect scratch free shape.

Editorial Reviews Garmin nuvi 205 3.5-Inch Portable GPS NavigatorFrom Garmin

Amazon.com Product Description----May 7, 2008 Garmin's nüvi 2x5 models improve upon their 200-series predecessors by adding top-of-the-line features such as FM traffic updates or MSN Direct content capability to an entry-level line. But Garmin is also introducing some significant improvements with this new series, like a predictive technology that provides faster satellite lock, a redesigned screen with more information, terrain maps, and an exciting new photo navigation feature.
The nüvi 2x5 models sport the slim design that Garmin introduced with the 200-series last year, so they all fit comfortably in your pocket or purse, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that makes them convenient for navigation by car or foot.All of the models include useful travel tools like a JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more.

New -- HotFix™ – aka: Satellite Ephemeris Data Prediction
Your GPS device locks onto transmissions from a dedicated network of Satellites in order to determine its position. Until the device gets a "lock" on three satellites, it can't effectively navigate, so decreasing the time it takes for your device to get "satellite lock" is always a goal of GPS manufacturers. With Garmin's new HotFix technology, your Garmin GPS remembers the position of all satellites it is tracking when you turn it off, and calculates their movements in order to predict where they should be the next time you turn it on. This gives the device an idea of where it should look for satellites, and dramatically decreases the time it takes for your Garmin to get its position and start navigating. HotFix can predict satellite positions for up to 3 days after the device was last turned off.Using Garmin’s unique Web site — Garmin Connect Photos — users can choose from millions of geo-located photos provided by Google’s Panoramio photo sharing community and download them to the nüvi for a richer navigation experience using pictures as a guide.

Great product !!! Great new product from Garmin. Accurate maps. Lands you to your exact point of interest.
Garmin Nuvi 205 This product works as I fully expected it to. It is functional, easy to read, and easy to use. Have not used others so can't compare to other manufacturers. It works for me. It was also less expensive on Amazon than anywhere else I could find it. In my mind worth the price I paid.
Idispensible If You Intend to leave the house What was I thinking? The Garmin is a must . Eevn if you know where you are going it tells you within a hundred feet how close you are. Never again will I have to roll down my window for instructions. It is a major winner.
