Nigel, I found my Nuvi 350 on craiglist.org in California for a very reasonable price (I think I paid $85 US) I didn't look up your callsign to see what Country or US State where you're home is at, but if you're not in a place where craigslist.org is active, you can usually find them on eBay. Several repeatable online stores sale refurbished Nuvi 350's but the price is more then many newer series. I've seen the refurbs for over a $200. Maybe the companies know that us hams like the 350 so they make us pay a premium for a refurbished units. I've even seen the refurbished units on Garmin's own site, It's ironic that they charge a lot for a refurbished, discountinued product which has a supposed glitch.

Garmin has expressed a distinct lack of interest in "fixing" anything as sometimes it appears that they believe the 350 is the one that is broken. If you're going with an OT2m or T2-135, I wouldn't go with anything but a Nuvi. Keep looking, you'll find one. Lynn (D) - Owner of 2 said combinations - KJ4ERJ-9 and KJ4OVQ-9 Nigel wrote: > Hi folks.
