Garmin Nuvi 350

Does anyone cache with the Garmin Nuvi 350? How good does it work it you do? Do you take it in the bush?

Lately, there have been several posts about the Nuvi. If you do a Forums Search, you should find the recent discussions where people have mentioned its fragility and lack of water-resistence.

 

A friend has one, and it works great in the car. Out of the car, you probably want a handheld GPSr such as one of the new Garmin 'H' units.

I'm new to the sport and started out using my 350 and it worked fine. I even took it deep into the woods where there was a heavy tree canopy and it remained locked on. One of the reasons I upgraded to the Garmin MAP60csx was because I didnt like the idea of laying it down in the dirt or running the risk of scratching it while caching.

I have a Nuvi 200 and love, love, love it. But I love, love, love it in the car. Yes, it can take in the 'bush', but I wouldn't recommend it. As stated, it's not waterproof. It also has a touch screen and touch screens are not usually known to be very durable.

 

I agree that a handheld out of the car is a much better idea.

 

And, as above mentioned, there have been a lot of posts recently about the Nuvi and you won't have to scan very far into the next pages to find them.
