Have you ever asked the question "Where's my car?" or "Where am I?". Normally, these questions are asked in a state of deep frustration when you are lost, in need of assistance, and don't know where to turn. You will never feel this way again with the Garmin Nuvi 760.

Two new features of the Garmin Nuvi 760 are in fact called "Where's my car?" and "Where am I?". People love these features.

With the "Where's my car?" feature, your Garmin Nuvi 760 automatically marks the location that you have parked your car when you take it off the mount. Thus, when you are in a big parking lot and cannot find your car, simply look at your Garmin Nuvi 760 and it will tell you where your car is parked. For me, this is perfect at the airport when I can never seem to remember where I parked when I return from a trip.

The "Where am I?" feature is also quite impressive. On this GPS, there is a device that you can press at any moment that will allow you to understand your surroundings. Press the "Where Am I?" feature and you will automatically be apprised of your exact location, the intersections that are near, and perhaps most importantly, the location of all the points of interest in the area. You'll never need to feel the frustration of being lost again with this "Where Am I?" feature.

These are just a two of the new features of the Garmin Nuvi 760, but there are plenty more. This GPS also has an amazingly clear 4.3 inch screen, multi-destination routing so that you will always know the best way to go, integrated points of interest, an FM receiver, picture viewer, and an MP3 player. It's the only device that you'll need when you are on the go.

I once thought that a portable GPS was just a techie gadget for the guys, but I discovered differently a couple of years back. My mom found herself lost in a bad part of town in a new city. Normally tough and resilient, my mom felt lost and scared. I realized then that a portable GPS is for everyone because you can take it with you...it does not have to stay in your car like those that come with your automobile.

This year I upgraded my mom to the Garmin Nuvi 760 (and bought one for myself too). The Holidays are bringing us great savings on Garmin Nuvi prices so now is the time to buy one if you're interested.

This is a gift that all should have. You will never be at a loss for information and you will never again have to ask "Where's My Car?" or "Where Am I?"

Garmin is the world's biggest manufacturer of consumer GPS and the name has almost become synonymous with the product. The company has a long and envious history of producing quality and versatile GPS. Garmin has produced many kinds of GPS - some for automobiles, hikers, etc. Within each category there are different models to suit every activity.

For example the Garmin StreetPilot c340 has a text to speech functionality. So you have the added advantage of hands free operation and then the ability to concentrate on the road whilst driving and not looking at the GPS display to see what is written there. This mode of operation can take complex commands such as "Turn Right at Next Intersection". This feature is a big plus for people who need to keep looking ahead on the road while driving.

This device can also be fitted with a traffic receiver so you can get real time traffic information. With this feature, you can avoid traffic jams, road, diversions etc so you can reach your destination quicker.

Garmin also has the Nuvi 200 which is quite basic compared to others by the same manufacturer. But they come with some interesting fittings such as the unit converter. For those who want enhanced functionality, you can subscribe to travel information services.

This low cost range has some good features too such as the SD card slot to allow for the installation of add-ons like extra maps.

The favorite in the 300 series of GPS is the Garmin. 396. This product is an improvement over the 200 series as it displays information on satellite weather, has colorful maps and displays terrain warnings. Perhaps the biggest feature is the ability of the 396 to warn the user of any disturbances in the area of approach. For example if there is war or a conflict, you are informed accurately. The 396 also deserves some commendation for its crystal clear images which are visible in even poor light.

It's not fun - or safe - trying to read a map while driving. Which, of course, is why a gps system makes so much sense.

You get a bird's eye view of where you are and where you're going. You get directions every step of the way. You get to keep your eyes on the road. You also neatly side-step the whole map-reading-skills-required thing (brilliant for those of us who are challenged in this area).

The question is, how well does the Garmin 350 Nuvii do this?

Have a look:

The Garmin 350 Nuvii is very sensitive and will lock unto satellite signals even indoors. Lesser GPS require you to be outside or hang out of the window.

Once it's locked on, the Garmin 350 Nuvii does not let go of its satellite lock.

And it takes you where you're going. The right side of the street, all the way up the drive.

The Garmin 350 Nuvii is small enough to sit comfortably on your dashboard, without getting in the way.

It's small enough for you to comfortably slip it into your pocket when you leave the car.

Being small does not make it hard to read. Oh no. Because its face is virtually all screen, the display is no problem to read.

You work this GPS not with buttons, but by touching the screen. Which makes it easy and flexible to use - even while driving.

It calls out directions so you don't have to keep peering at the screen.

Rather cool, this - if you enter the actual names of places along your route, this GPS will add them to your directions. 'You are now approaching ... The Best Chocolate Shop In The World! ... (or ... Fern Cottage, ... or wherever)'..

If you make a wrong turn or miss the turn altogether, this GPS will very quickly get you back on track.

So what do you think? The Garmin 350 Nuvii may not have absolutely all the added extras, but it has got a fair few, and it's extremely accurate, extremely reliable. For you, could it be the best GPS unit for car trips?

A great choice in purchasing the Garmin Nuvi 350. It has a strong GPS receiver and includes a lot of friendly features. It is no bigger than a deck of cards and will fit right into your pocket. It is more than just another voice guided device. This little jewel has travel tools, and entertainment features plus good performance.

As a business traveler or vacationer, you can rely on the Garmin Nuvi 350 GPS to get you where you want to go. The Nuvi screen has three selections. Where To Go - This is where you search for destinations from a Point of Interest (POI) database, such as, food, lodging and transit establishments. You can enter an address, select a certain intersection or just tap a point on the map to create a route. View Map - This displays your location on the map. You can zoom in or out of the current map by using two touch buttons. At the top of the screen it displays upcoming street names and turns. Travel Kit - This feature is one of the reasons why the Garmin Nuvi 350 is above the rest. You can purchase the Language Guide SD card, which lets you translate words and phrases into several different languages. The Travel Guide lets you create routes to each destination. When you do this it will provide a review and recommendation for each location.

The performance of the Garmin Nuvi 350 is impressive. It normally take less than 30 seconds to obtain a 3D fix. After that the system is ready to navigate. Even in cities with skyscrapers the Gramin holds a strong GPS signal. Most gps's fail in this situation.

The Garmin Nuvi 350 is not cheap. However, its a great little travel companion that won't let you get lost. With all the extra features, the Garmin Nuvi 350 has the dependability, so you really can't go wrong!
