i didn't have the thing in hand long enough to do any major updates to verify the time increases you're talking about

To really understand these things you have to bet your life on it, and I did. I used the Nuvi 350 in Jan 08 to go from Toronto to Tampa, by myself, driving at night. I had never made the drive before and I had never used a GPS before. Not realizing that the NUVI defaulted to "quick" I gave it free reign and it found a route with 40 turnoffs. (Later, in Florida, regular travellors would stare at me open-mouthed, wondering why I did not simply stay on the interstate, which involved no turnoffs. Turns out that was an extra 100 miles of wasted travel, according to the NUVI.) During a nasty fog patch outside of Kentucky, I had almost no road visibility and confess to using the NUVI like airplane instrumentation, watching my progress on the screen only. It correctly found an exit for me even though the exit sign was covered in fog and even today remains a mystery. I agree with all the negatives you listed and add the following: speaker is junk. I added an external set meant for ipods and installed under the passenger floor area. Had to create a "dummy floor" to make room. Made a big difference. Each successive update has increased the satillite acquisition time, a fact you can verify on chat boards. And, a silly complaint, for the price I paid in 07, I could get two of them today on Ebay.
