I bought this device back in June, but have never even opened it as I got a smartphone with built in navigation. I have had Garmin products in the past, and they've worked great for me. I specifically bought this model for the lifetime map & traffic updates which is a huge money saver when you consider map updates can cost $49.99 per update. The info below came directly from Garmin's website...
The widescreen nüvi 1350 has preloaded maps for North America,
announces streets by name, guides you to the proper lane for navigation,
offers pedestrian navigation options and calculates a more
fuel-efficient route.
Know the Lane Before It’s Too Late
No more guessing which lane you need to be in to make an upcoming
turn. Lane assist¹ guides you to the correct lane for an approaching
turn or exit, making unfamiliar intersections and exits easy to
navigate.
Turn-by-turn Directions
nüvi 1350 has an intuitive interface that greets you with 2 simple
questions: “Where To?” and “View Map.” Touch the color screen to easily
look up addresses and services and get voice-prompted, turn-by-turn
directions that speak street names to your destination. It comes
preloaded with detailed City Navigator® NT street maps, nearly 6 million
points of interest (POIs), 2-D or 3-D maps and the speed limit for most
major roads in the U.S. and Europe. And with HotFix® satellite
prediction, nüvi calculates your position faster to get you there
quicker.
