I got a GPS System!

judy · 01-21-2008, 05:14 PM

I finally decided on the Garmin Nuvi 350 after doing all of my research. I went to eBay and won one that's new, still in the box, but at a substantially lower price than the stores want. It's not an entry level GPS - I'm hoping to have it for a few years.

It was still expensive, and I had no business buying it right after Christmas, but I'm not in debt - those gifts are paid for.

I think it's a wonderful thing to have for someone like me who drives long distances alone. I don't have anyone to read me the directions and sometimes I have to pull onto the shoulder of a highway to read the directions.

Way to go Judy!
That's the same exact model dh got. I hope it works great for both of you. lol

Good for you, Judy!! Your reasoning for wanting one make very good sense. It's not safe for a woman alone to be stopping to read a map on the side of the road. Hope it works very well for you, too.

Yay Judy!!! I still haven't bought one yet, but hope to soon. Funny thing is...we don't really need it right now....I just want one...LOL. It would also be nice for my son, since he never paid attention while sitting in the back seat as to where we were going and how to get there. Too busy playing handheld games or listening to his CD's. Maybe this summer I can get one. Let me know how you like yours and if it's easy to use.

I'm glad that you found a GPS at a good price! Hopefully you'll get to do a lot of traveling and get to use it alot!!!!

I'm excited - I love toys.

By the time summer comes Janet, there will be newer ones - but I will certainly test run this one for you!
