What Customers Say About Garmin nüvi 370 3.5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Text-To-Speech, North American and European Maps:

she loves this unit, and so do I. bought for wife, she simply cannot navigate or follow directions.

I wish that there were tutorials that demonstrated sever practical applications of the model I purchased. However, there is a great deal of functionality packed into my nuvi that the documentation only hints at. Since it is to be used in the car, I liked the ease of use and minimum key strokes. The displays are making me more aware of distances and street names in areas I already travel.There is both a quick start booklet and an online manual.

Bought the same thing from another vendor The unit itself is a great GPS. I was shipped a referbed unit sold as new. After years of good service from Amazon I was disappointed and returned it.

And the display doesn't offer enough detailed info (arrival time, total distance, etc).Go with Tom Tom In Miami and Tampa it took forever to get a signal leaving the airport.The call to take exits comes way too close to the turn. I had high hopes for this unit based on the reviews, especially for a trip to Europe and the Pacific I planned.The unit never got a signal in Germany for 3 days. When i arrived in Hawaii, it took forever to acquire a signal, then lost it at underpasses.

On a comparative basis, I paid 20% more. 5/5 for Amazon's service4.5/5 for product quality4/5 for the price of the product.
