After using my friend's Nuvi in Scotland last year I said I have to have one of these! It worked great and saved us many lost hours while effortlessly assisting us straight through hundreds of poorly signed round-abouts. He had a basic but very dependable Nuvi without many features other than direction finding, which is the main idea. I wanted a dependable Nuvi but with a few of the more attractive features. After reading reviews I eliminated the 700 & 800 series because of all the reported freezes. I eliminated any with bluetooth functions for the same reason. After a lot of reviewing I went with the 1350T. I wanted lane help and I wanted cityXplorer mapping because we go overseas a lot and I wanted to have enhanced pedestrian capabilities. I live in a rural town so free traffic alerts wasn't too foremost but I do spend time in Phoenix, San Diego and La occasionally so it was a plus.
I ordered the unit just prior to a trip from Phoenix to Sacramento. I'm a hand-operated reader so I printed a copy of the instructions from the Garmin web site and read them completely before messing with the unit (the quick start instructions included with the unit are worthless). Before doing whatever else I bought a Usb cable so that I could connect to my computer. every person should have the cable and it's ridiculous that Garmin doesn't provide the cable with the unit because you need it to register and get current software. Once I had the cable I linked to Garmin's web site and registered the unit and updated the maps and firmware. It's a little tricky but not too difficult...and I'm not very technical. I also purchased and downloaded radar detection software because Phoenix, Tucson and much of Arizona is loaded with scum-sucking radar detectors. I also did the screen calibration on page 47 of the hand-operated because any reviews indicated that it made the touch screen interface much more reliable. I wanted to take some out-of-the-way highways on my trip so I programmed in some "via points" to use along the way. These are points that allow you to divert to someone else location or highway while holding the same ultimate destination programmed. The night before the trip I was playing with the unit checking out the "browse map" function. It seemed to be a worthless function and it wasn't responsive with the screen being too small to be useful anyway. Just as I was about to get out of the browse mode the screen went dark. The unit was fully charged but I could not turn it back on again. I tried with the car plug adaptor, the Usb cable, the on/off button...everything. The next morning before my trip it still wouldn't start. I sent the unit back and requested a replacement. After getting the transfer I went straight through the same processes again as outlined above except that I won't use the "browse map" function again. I took the unit on a trip from No. Arizona to Orange County then San Diego and back again. For the most part the unit worked very well. It did ice once and the screen went dark again when I was programming in a location. I waited about 10 minutes and to my great relief it did restart but I was about to toss it out the window if it didn't restart. One time in a very complicated freeway interchange in San Diego it lost position and started "recalculating". If I had not known where I was going I could have verily taken the wrong offramp.
While traveling straight through Riverside, Ca the Garmin indicated that there was some traffic ahead. I touched the screen to see the traffic map and the screen indicated the distance and time of the potential delay. It was a short delay so I prolonged on and it turned out to be very accurate. I was impressed but someone else time in San Diego it indicated a short delay and there was no delay at all. So, just be aware that it's only as good as the data it receives from the reporting station.
For fun I also wanted to load some thumbnail pictures for my home and family destination "favorites". I could find no directions on how to do this, even in the full hand-operated printout so I called Garmin. It's easy to do. Just connect your Nuvi to your computer, duplicate click the Garmin icon and open the Garmin folder. There is a jpeg briefcase in the Garmin folder. Drag your jpeg photo and drop into the jpeg folder. Then eject and disconnect your Garmin. To add the photo to a "favorite" opt "favorite"; "press for more"; press "edit"; "change photo"; opt a photo and you're done.
I noticed that when going to a location and returning the directions to and from are not always the same. It sometimes sends you slightly out of the way either arrival or going. I think that's because it seems to have a penchant for giving you right turns instead of left turns when beginning out from a location. For instance, when departing from a shopping town it might have you make a right turn leaving the center, rather than manufacture a left turn, even if it's slightly out of the way. It's not a big deal but I find that curious.
I know a lot of people don't want to read the long hand-operated but in my thought it will save you a lot of early aggravation and will help you use all of the nice features this unit has. I have also found that if you take your time and don't start pushing functions before the unit has made a calculation or transitioned to someone else screen the unit is more reliable.
Pros:
1. Volume works great. I'm hard of hearing and 70% is plentifulness loud.
2. Satellite response time is quick and recalculating time is generally very responsive
3. Lane help is a great feature especially on major thoroughfares and freeways.
4. Speaks street names clearly and is surprisingly close on strict pronunciation. (Spanish street names can be fun though). Male & Female voice available.
5. Shows posted speed limit and actual driving speed which is a great feature.
6. Turn list viewing is a nice feature especially in unfamiliar areas with a lot of turns ahead.
7. I like the time or distance to destination feature. The time estimates to a destination have been quite accurate. It's a nice feature especially on long legs.
Cons:
1. No Usb cable included
2. No hand-operated (you must print from web site and it's over 60 pages).
3. May lose power and not restart for some time (or not at all as with my 1st unit). This is the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.
4. Even though I made the screen calibration, when typing in addresses some of letters don't response as verily as they should.
5. Browse Map feature glitchy and worthless.
