The Garmin Nuvi 1350 is an ultra-thin protable GPS that fits near the bottom of Garmin's 1300 series. The 1200 and widescreen 1300 series are 25% slimmer than other Nuvis making this an extremely transportable device. It has a 4.3" diagonal widescreen QVGA color antiglare TFT screen with white backlight and a 480 x 272 pixel resolution. The Nuvi 1350 greets you with two simple options; "Where to?" or "View map" and will speak turn-by-turn directions once you decide where you want to go. The lane assist feature helps you choose the proper lane when approaching unfamiliar exits and the ecoRoute feature calculates the most fuel-efficient route. It is pre-loaded with City Navigator NT street maps with nearly 6 million POI's, and the "Where am I?" feature will quickly help you find where you are and the closest hospitals, police stations and fuel stations. Other features include JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock, currency converter, calculator and many more.
