I Have Used The Garmin Nuvi 350 For 2 Years. You Can Purchase Chips As Well- A Language Translator, Dictionary, Books On Tape, Use Your Camera Chip To View Photos. I Have Used It In Italy For 115 Days And Greece For 17 Days With A Europe Chip. Never Brought A Map And Use It Walking, Driving And Even On A High Speed Ferry And On The Airplanes Over 40, 000 Feet.
