Garmin Nuvi 370 Personal Travel Assistant
The reason I give only 2 stars for value is because I still believe it is a toy — handy but not necessary. Ok, I do pride myself on never getting lost, because I can read a map and follow signs and have an inate sense of direction, and I will not equate buying a GPS unit to admitting defeat. Another mark against the value aspect is this function will eventually be included in more and more phones. However, I’m personally not getting an iPhone until I can use it with Verizon.
But I digress, back to the Nuvi: User-friendly and intuitive, which is good because I hate reading instructions. So far we’ve used it in Michigan, British Columbia, and all over Western Washington. Not once has it given me what I consider a ’stupid’ routes, like occasionally pop up from online services. It has even been aware of several major construction detours.
I love searching for stuff like restaurants and gas stations. We have not used the traffic feature. The only complaint I have, and I think the latest Consumer Report review touched on this, is your route doesn’t seem very ‘edittable’. Maybe I should read the manual, but seems to all you can do is pick one destination, then insert ‘waypoints‘ that can’t later be removed, or added after the original destiantion.
