Perks
Garmin integrated a travel kit in its Nuvi series, including a language guide, travel guide, MP3 player, audio book player, currency converter, measurement converter and calculator, making travel more convenient. The Nuvi 370 also comes equipped with a traffic receiver, giving up-to-date traffic reports and road conditions. Unlike many other GPS units, the Garmin Nuvi 370 integrates with Bluetooth technology, allowing you to make hands-free phone calls.
Sacrifices
Because of Garmin's detailed preloaded maps, they become outdated often. Downloading new maps costs $50 to $150. Also, because of the Garmin Nuvi 370's retractable antenna, when left up, the battery doesn't last as long as many of the competitor's GPS units.
Bottom Line
The Garmin Nuvi is one of the most innovative GPS units on the market. Because of the price and cost of additional maps, this unit is recommended for avid travelers who are willing to spend the extra bucks on quality and functions.
