The Ultimate Travel Companion

Introducing the nüvi: A versatile travel assistant that’s approximately the size of a deck of playing cards.

The nüvi 350 contains full European mapping right off the shelf. It comes pre-programmed with highly detailed City Select® NT street data of major metropolitan areas throughout Western Europe. The database features nearly six million points of interest—including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and attractions. Includes map and POI data for the following countries:

• UK/Ireland
• Nordics
• Benelux
• France
• Italy/Greece
• Spain/Portugal
• Germany/Czeck
• Austria, Switzerland, Italy
• Eastern Europe

Thanks to the nüvi 350's text-to-speech functionality, the unit audibly announces the name of upcoming streets—letting drivers keep their eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic and tricky roadways.

The nüvi 350 also comes with an A/C charger and approximately 700 MBs of internal memory for storage of supplemental maps, MP3s, and audio books (available from Audible.com).

• Text-to-Speech — unit prompts you to "Turn right on Main St" instead of "Turn right in 500 feet"
   
• Preloaded with City Navigator NT v.7—includes detailed maps of major metropolitan areas throughout Western Europe (no downloading required)

Travel Kit™

The nüvi also offers a travel kit of useful travel tools to help keep any journey fun: MP3 player, audio book player from Audible.com, JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, and calculator. In addition, optional software packages such as the Language Guide and Travel Guide (sold separately on SD Data cards) can be added for language and content support.

Language Guide™ software (optional)

Users can access an optional 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. The Language Guide lets travellers look up and translate more than 17,000 words or 20,000 phrases per language. 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 (nüvi 350 only).

Travel Guide™ software (optional)

The new 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 the user’s fingertips.

Navigation

Travellers can use the nüvi to navigate to an address or search points of interest (POIs)—places like hotels, restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions. The nüvi automatically calculates the fastest route and provides voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions along the way. If users stray off course, the nüvi automatically calculates the quickest way to get back on track.

The nüvi is compatible with the 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.
