Mike Jones street rep is low. keep going

Ok I'm now really looking into the Garmin Street Pilot c340. It seems to be basicly the same thing but it has many more POI's and I don't see all the people complaining and having to return them like they are saying with the TomTom 510. I'll keep researching though.

I use the touchscreen on my headunit all the time and I don't plan on having the GPS on me most of the time. Only when I'm leaving the area by myself which really isn't all that often so I'm not worried about it at all.

Thank you, I've gone to some GPS forums but they seem to be pretty much dead. I really want to know what people think that really know what they're talking about.

Well I'm seeing nothing but problems with the different TomTom units so that's out.
Now I'm looking at the Garmin C340 and the Garmin Nuvi 350. The Nuvi 350 is more than I wanted to spend but it really seems to have the best of everything I want and I have seen nothing but good reviews about it. I was going to go buy it today but apperantly everything's closed because it's Easter. Why can't my work be closed?

Alright I made my choice. I'll be buying the Garmin NUVI 350.
I wanted to go to a store and pick it up but I can get a nice discount if I buy it online. So I'll need to put the money into my account and then buy it tomorrow afternoon.

I just picked up my new Garmin NUVI 350. I paid a little more than I wanted to but if I'm going to have it for a good long time I know I won't regret it. I haven't had a chance to use it in the car yet but so far it looks like a good unit.

Price doesn't matter but CSF is just one of the reasons I wanted to buy one. I've never been to that area before and now it'll be nice since I won't have to worry about getting lost or having to keep looking at directions.
