|
|
Hi guys, i have just bought Nuvi 350. its a good unit but i also wanted TMC function. Its optional for 350 and the TMC kit costs 120 euros plus. Is TMC antenna included in Nuvi 360? from where can i buy secind hand TMC kit ? if the price difference for nuvi 350 and 360 is not too much i may go for 360 (provided its with TMC). |

The Nuvi 310D - note the D - includes the same level of detail as the 350, except it's on a DVD, and hence needs to be loaded onto an SD card.
The Nuvi 310/360 only add Bluetooth over and above the 300/350 - for built in Traffic you need to move to the 660. |

so 310 D comes with europe full map on CD but not TMC. TMC we have to buy anyway except for 660. Is that right? |

As zogman says, the 310D comes with traffic (GTM12) as well - the 660 comes with the GTM21. |

Why not just buy it from a UK website Vikash - like Halfords? |

Wish I hadn't checked their website. Streetpilot is down another £50 on the price I paid a week ago! Bah!
Them's the breaks I guess. |
