Re: Garmin Nuvi 350 and 60CSx

Oh, I forgot to add one thing I really, really disliked about what Garmin
did with the Nuvi 350 was that they didn't include a printed instruction
manual. Well, I guess they didn't think that perhaps the size of the unit
might be the selling point so they ASSUMED that everyone will use it with a
computer so they included the manual.pdf on the Nuvi unit itself. Since I
was giving it to someone who could care less about computers, not including
a printed manual was cheap and stupid on Garmin's part, to put it mildly. I
had to print the manual for him at cost that was quite high. You'd think for
a $800 unit they could take a smaller amount of profit and make their users
happy by including a printed manual.

You mean the manual was IN the unit .. vs. on a CD-ROM? That's a new
money-saving ploy to me!

But I don't know that unit: Does it have the option of reading the
manual on the screen somehow?

Not an option. Yes, there's a PDF file in the unit. You can access it
when you connect it to the USB port, just like a USB drive. Perfectly
acceptable to me. And a CD avoided for the environment.

If you're interested in the Nuvi 350 Costco will have a good deal
considering you can't get it any cheaper than $799 anyway.

Not true. I got my Nuvi 350 on eBay for $699. And in a matter of a few
weeks, the price has gone down ever further.
