Garmin nüvi 350

The Garmin nüvi 350 is marketed as a traveller's assistant with three main roles: GPS navigation, traveller's reference, and digital entertainment. All of this functionality doesn't come at the expense of size as nüvi is about the size of a deck of cards. It sports a 3.5" diagonal color touch screen with a resolution of 320 x 240.
