The good: The compact Garmin Nüvi 350 has a strong GPS receiver and includes lots of travel-friendly features.

The bad: The Garmin Nüvi 350 is expensive, and the traffic receiver and the travel-guide programs cost extra. The Nüvi also lacks an external volume control.

The bottom line: No bigger than a deck of cards, the Garmin Nüvi 350 is more than just another voice-guided GPS device, packing in travel tools, entertainment features, and good performance; just be prepared to pay a price.
