Offerings Expanded:

The Garmin Nuvi 1350 is ready for operation the minute it is purchased. This device comes with all of the equipment needed for getting it quickly set up on a dashboard or windshield inside a car: it is sold with a suction cup, dashboard disc and mount, a power cable, and it is offered with a user guide for easy set up and use. A four hour battery life that can be easily recharged ensures long hours of use when it comes to the Garmin Nuvi 1350 too.

A clear, instructive voice announces any necessary turning maneuvers, street titles, and distance before turns that must be made when the Garmin Nuvi 1350 is in use. While this system lacks voice activation properties, it has plenty to make up for the lack of the voice recognition feature. First off, wireless call management is completely possible through the Garmin Nuvi 1350 GPS since it has integrated Bluetooth® technologies: when connected to an optional, compatible Bluetooth® phone device, outbound and inbound calls can be managed without hands while one is driving. Single touch dialing and touch screen number pads can be used to dial out and calls can be answered with a single touch of the screen on the Garmin Nuvi 1350.

The Garmin Nuvi 1350 is not only highly practical and soundly priced, but it has some pretty fun features too. The user can choose the voice that appeals to him or her via Garmin Garageâ„¢ offerings, and icons can be selected by the user of the device as well. The user of this GPS can use geotagged photos to navigate his or her way to various destinations, and the device is capable of providing views of pictures and JPEGs too. Since the Garmin Nuvi 1350 has no waterproofing elements, it is not considered motorcycle friendly, trucking friendly, or marine friendly, but for the pedestrian, cycler, or average vehicle driver, this device can be a seriously informative electronic traveling companion. Consumers will come to appreciate the antitheft properties of the Garmin Nuvi 1350 too since Garmin Lockâ„¢ technologies are integrated into the device.
