#1 GPS for Dads - Garmin Nuvi 350

Who knows how every dad may vote, but the Garmin Nuvi 350 is not surprisingly the best seller at Amazon, late on Father's Day; must have been a hit with all those dads deciding that it's about time to go get a GPS.

I ran into one such dad while I was at a large office supply retailer on Father's Day. I was swinging by the GPS area to check out what they had on sale. Well, there was a poor sole there getting guidance on purchasing a GPS from the clerk who didn't have a clue....

Customer:"What's the difference between the TomTom ONE and the TomTom ONE XL?"
Clerk: "I don't really know."
Customer: "What GPS do you recommend?" [Bad follow-up question to ask the clerk who didn't know the difference between the TomTom ONE and the TomTom ONE XL!]
Clerk: [waving his hand in the area of the higher priced GPS units] "Well, I think all of these are really good, and the prices are really rock bottom."

I saw the Nuvi 200 there for $399 (~$85 less online), the Maestro 4000 (~$50 less online), while the only real "Rock Bottom" price was the Mio C220 that was competitively priced. Ouch!

Hope you had a good father's day.
