Nuvi Time

Looking to buy our first GPS unit for our upcoming travels we ended up deciding on the Garmin Nuvi 350 for its strong auto capabilities coupled with its portability features.



Shopping for the best deal on the Nuvi was interesting as well with a ton of variation in price. Sam's Club prominently featured the Nuvi for $699 while Best Buy also featured the Nuvi in its Sunday Circular for $799 - and I thought Best Buy could be counted on for decent prices! Another consideration in buying local is the additional taxes of ~$50.

I ended up going with pcnation.com where the Nuvi was featured for $605 with free FedEx 2 day shipping. Also, the company is based in Illinois which means no tax! The Nuvi arrived and seems to work quite well.
