REVIEWS:
1) Do I need to know where I am going?: The item itself is very nice and helpful tool, however for a young person of 75 years, it is more than I need. I liked the product, but not who I purchased it from, as they would not allow me to return it because I found that it was too complicated for me when I opened the packaging.
2) No text to speech, out of date maps and bad routing.: The GPS352 does not support text to speech. It will not call out the street names of the turns or exits. It only calls out the distance and the direction of the turn.
The maps are out of date. Roads that have been in my subdivision for 3 years are not on the map. As well as well known grocery stores. I would not trust this unit in unfamiliar areas. Of course that is the only reason to buy a gps unit...
The routing determined by the unit is very poor. It directs me to take local 2 lane roads the cross several railroad tracks (which are always busy) instead of the main 4 lane road which leads straight to the main highway. The unit ignores the fastest route and prefer highway selections.
The unit also replaces saved routes which are painstakingly created to avoid certain roads with the original calculated routes.
The windshield mount allows the unit to vibrate and shake making it difficult to read. When not shaking, the display is good.
3) No reset button, same case as many other units: This GPS is the same case as the Delphi GPS 200. My delphi completely quit after 1 month. If you look at other GPS models, you will see that many use this inferior case, NO RESET button? Excellent satt reception though, but longevity questioned, especially if it bugs out
