Still, you should see plenty of gas stations and food stops along the way. Watch out for speed traps in all the small towns, especially where the speed limit drops. And also watch for red light cams on Rt. 13, don't run yellows! |

I don't get to use my Nuvi 350 much, but recently I did on a trip to the Bay Area. After I entered the address of my destination, it asked if I wanted to simulate the route. What is that about, and should I have said yes or no? I don't recall exactly, but I think I said no, and it froze on me. I then shut it off and restarted, and I don't think I got that message again.

Have been tempted by all the Best Buy ads to upgrade to a newer and better Nuvi (even though I don't really need one!  ). Can anyone comment on the usefulness of the following features: 4.3" vs. 3.5" screen (a friend of mine says the bigger screen makes no difference since you're perpetually only interested in limited scope of view anyway. ie. the road and intersection coming up, and the bigger screen is not going to give you more pertinent details); Bluetooth; Lane Assist; 3-D view; FM (don't most cars have FM already?!; Traffic (the consensus seems to be this is not useful) Any advice would be much appreciated.
