Garmin Nuvi 1350T Lightning Review

The Cost : $ 350 tilt ; $ 310 online

The Verdict : Portable navigator are great , but they ’ve reached counterbalance : price have never been better for the functionality you get , but if the 1350 thyroxin proves anything , it ’s that there ’s nowhere they can go from here .

I go for you recognize that ’s not a ailment : leave all those frilly features like voice command and Bluetooth , stuff that you have a go at it for a short while but ( I amply allow ) never use subsequently on in the product ’s sprightliness . It ’s the basic principle that weigh , and the 1350 T has basics , plus a slimly tweaked user interface that improves on the old Nuvi experience without change it too noticeably . It ’s faster than even the higher end Nuvis I ’ve looked at , and has a streamlined principal navigation screen that prove that , unlike TomTom , even when you have a gain rule , you have to keep tweaking it . Overall use is still the near in the business concern .

The “ T ” : It ’s for “ traffic ” and it can be helpful if you habituate it correctly , though that ’s one of my only gripe : postponement show up in min , but there are time when you ’re sitting still for 5 to 10 minutes and you just see “ 0:02 , ” and other times you are stuck only momentarily and it shows “ 0:07 ” or more . The job is , it ’s a moving norm . It ’s not say you ’ll be hold fast there for that long , necessarily , but that the overall trip arrival time has been changed . It ’s a bit foolhardy , I imagine . That or it ’s plainly inaccurate .

The real fuss with traffic is that the best way of life to deliver streams of information is via a cellular datum connection — on requirement . ( The 1350 T has a recipient , but it ’s not a communicator . ) As it happen , nobody is willing to pay for a separate cellular connection to get traffic ( and local hunting ) datum , because they already have phones that cost a load in monthly fee . Phones are n’t yet quick to inherit the GPS world from the portable sailing master , but the new plenty of iPhone apps , the latestSiRF GPS chip declaration , and Garmin ’s owndabblingsin the cellular market , prove that it ’s just a topic of prison term .

The advertising : The weirdest part is that the 1350 T is ad - supported . It ’s not annoying yet — there are only two ads that I ’ve seen , for Best Western and Walgreens , and they tend to hover in the peripheries . But they could get a lot more frequent and more visible . At the bit , these interior chains are n’t really point to your road , but eventually , this system could intimate clobber at every turn along your route . Is that cool ? Maybe , if it come with like Big Mac coupons and material . But most likely not .

The last ? : As I remark , what the 1350 T represents is the logical end of the PND , a highly functional and almost comfortably limited equipment . We now present an unknown transition , during which clock time an awesome lot of people will grease one’s palms an awful lot of previous - school price - to - move navigators . [ Garmin ]
