I live and work in Southern California and after living here twenty years I still get lost on occasion. The other day a friend of mine had brought his portable gps with us on a trip into Los Angeles and it really saved my behind as I couldn’t find a certain address. It got me to thinking that perhaps I should buy one of these gadgets. I liked my friends gps;however I wanted to take the time to find one that was right for me. Online I found a garmin nuvi 350 and I was very impressed with it. I bought it online that night.
