Digital camera reviews of Garmin nüvi 370 3.5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator
Digital camera Review: Excellent product
Summary: 5 Stars
Tremendous so far - best GPS I have had, although my others were from prior generations.
You get great value, accuracy, ease of use, impressive options. One caveat: If you shut it off, andf then turn it on anew far from your location when it is activated again, it can be a little inconvieniently slow to find position again. In fact, it at first thinks you are in the old locale.
But, you really can't go wrong with iot. A- product.
Digital camera Review: Excellent product, very simple and easy to use.
Summary: 5 Stars
Really pleased with Sat Nav. Very simple and easy to use whatever country you are in. Really like that it shows nearest shopping centres, restaurnts, petrol stations etc.Digital camera Review: Excellent, Tested & Proven in Europe
Summary: 5 Stars
I used the Nuvi 370 in December 2007 when for a business trip that brought me to Germany, Austria, France and the Netherlands. The map and the mapping software is very accurate. As expected, the pronunciation of non-American streets is incorrect but that is to be expected. The important thing is that as soon as my rental car left the Frankfurt International Airport, the GPS was up and running immediately and brought me to many beautiful European cities.
Tips for a better experience:
1. Put a drop of water (say from your Evian bottled water) on the suction cup before attaching it on the windshield. This will prevent the suction cup from falling.
2. SLOW DOWN when you are about 2 or 3 miles from your exit. It's way to obvious but the reason why most people miss their exits (even with a GPS) is that they are driving way too fast. No, it's not the GPS's fault.
The Nuvi 370 is absolutely worth the money. I've used it the US too and it's been flawless so far.
Bottomline - works as advertised. The other most important thing that the unit has is the currency and unit of measure converter. The others (mp3 player, bluetooth) are regular add-on, not too impressive but maybe useful for other folks.
Digital camera Review: Extremely Satisfied
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first GPS I've owned so don't have anything to compare it to, but I didn't expect perfection. However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover the Garmin Nuvi 370 exceeded all my desires.
I registered it immediately as recommended by others. I turned it on. It downloaded the maps and I was up and running. The menus are easy to follow without a user guide. I feel it's really user friendly and doesn't require a lot of esoteric knowledge to use. The screen is suprisingly easy to see considering it's size, even in my car in the sunlight.
I had a lot of fun trying different settings like asking it to choose routes based on traffic or distance and seeing how they compared. When I deviated from a course it quickly recalculated and gave me new directions. Am I being overly sensitive or does the voice sound slightly disgusted when I passsed a recommended turn and it announced, "recalculating"? The American English voice was easy to understand. When I entered a brand new subdivision where roads were not available on the map the best it could tell me was to head east. However, that's better than any paper map can do.
I realize that I'm using it at home where I'm already familiar with the streets. I bought the Nuvi 370 because I travel to Europe a lot and can really use it there. I'll see how well it functions in a place I'm less familiar with in a few weeks. I love that it's so small and lightweight. I'll be able to carry it while walking without having some bulky piece of equipment weighing me down. However, I do see it as prime pickpocket target in Europe.
I think I found this item easier to use because I had no expectations based upon other GPS's owned and I did a lot of reading before the purchase. It certainly helped since I knew to go to the Garmin website and update the maps for free.
I don't expect the Nuvi 370 to meet every need I have, but I'm directionally challenged. After wandering around America and Europe for years anything has got to help. So far I'm extremely satisfied.
