Garmin nuvi 370 review




From GPS Tracklog

The Garmin nuvi 370, with pre-loaded maps of both North America and Europe, is an excellent choice for international travelers. It sports a 3.5" touch screen, MP3 player, integrated traffic receiver, speaks street names and has Bluetooth for hands-free cell phone use. That's in addition to standard nuvi features like a currency and measurement converter, world clock and digital photo organizer. Add-on options include language translators and travel guides.

Garmin offers two other nuvis with maps of Europe and North America -- one step below the 370, the nuvi 270 (due to be introduced in April 2007) doesn't speak street names and leaves off the MP3 player, Bluetooth, and the traffic receiver. Going the other direction, the nuvi 670 adds a 4.3" wide-screen and FM transmitter to the 370's feature set.

If these combinations of features don't meet your needs, you can always get a different nuvi and buy European maps for it, though that might be more expensive than buying one of the nuvi x70 models.
