The StreetPilot 7500 is what I call a fully loaded GPS navigation system. Its has a huge 7" screen, which works well with the fact that the StreetPilot 7500 is not only a navigation system, but also an entertainment system. The 7500 can play video from a backup camera or DVD player, one of the reasons the unit has a remote control in addition to its touchscreen. The 7500 can send that audio to

The Garmin StreetPilot c340, was one of the first GPS navigation devices that could direct you with turn by turn voice instructions with actual street names, not just "turn right" or "turn left". This improves direction so much, it lets you keep your eyes on the scene not the screen. It is a nice screen though, and is exactly the same size as the Nuvi 350's.The c340 works pretty much straight out
