With a friendly, pleasant voice and easy-to-view at a glance visual signals, this device guides you turn-by-turn, even when you don't know the exact address. The sleek, compact design with helical antenna provides high performance satellite reception, while complementing the interior of almost any vehicle. The convenient controls offer quick access to the Voya 350's simple menu and key features, and with built-in maps of the entire United States and Canada provided by NAVTEQ, you'll always get to where your going. Plus, there's no need to download any additional data--with the Voya 350 you're ready to hit the road right out of the box.

To get started, simply touch the 3.5-inch color TFT LCD screen to enter an address or select from nearly two million points of interest (POIs), and let the Voya 350 guide you to your location. Unique on-screen icons show the location of nearby restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and more right on the map as you drive along. And if you'd like to head towards one of the POIs, simply touch the icon and within seconds you'll be redirected and on your way.

Averatec built the Voya 350 with advanced, state-of-the-art navigation software that automatically calculates the most direct route and recalculates it whenever you follow a detour or miss an exit. Other routing options enable you to choose the best route for your situation. Select the shortest time, shortest distance, or, if you'd like to take the scenic route, you can even choose to stay off the freeways. This device also features a speed alert that lets you know when you've gone over the speed limit, even if you're not in navigation mode. No matter where you're going or how you want to get there, this navigation system lets you customize every trip exactly as you want.

The Voya 350 is built with a rechargeable and replaceable, li-ion battery that provides up to four hours of continuous battery life under normal operation.

5.0 out of 5 stars great product, November 10, 2006

By	M. Ryan (Allen, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My husband and I just moved to a new city out of state, so we figured a GPS system will help. Once we took the gadget out of the box and charged it, it had worked as expected right away. It has been particularly useful as the highways exits and road systems are quite different from one state to another, so having the GPS telling you to stay on the left or right lane before a turn or exit saved quite a lot of headaches.

Also the decision of buying this vs other more known brands of similar price (we were going to get the Megellan Roadmate 760 as recommended by Consumers Reports) was because this has a battery, and it's flat so it is very portable. I can actually fit it in my purse.

Our only complain (and this is minor) is that the volume seems to be loud sometimes. We didn't find any volume control on the system, but it hasn't bothered us enough to go look in the box or online to see if there is such an option yet.

3.0 out of 5 stars Voya 350 GPS Portable Navigation Unit, September 18, 2006

By	J. Alex - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have had the unit for three weeks. It has failed to start twice.

Tech support had me do a hard reboot by removing the battery and peeling the serial number sticker off the reveal a reset button.

Once you remove the battery or let it fully discharge, all of your personal settings will be lost.
You can not save more than 8 favorite places to volatile memory.

Tech specs. States "USB connection". There is some sort of a connector on the bottom of the unit (NOT USB) but no cable shipped or mention of USB connection in the manual.

Unit will not work if the SD card is removed, locked or damaged.

This is Averatecs first GPS and they are still working on support.

For $40-50 more you can get a very good mid level Garmin or equivalent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly great for its price, August 16, 2006

By	Pat from OC "pat" (Irvine, CA) - See all my reviews

My experience with Averatec products have been very positive. I own two notebooks from this brand and both have been good work-horses for me. So I decided to try their GPS, since I have been in the market for one and I did'nt want to spend a large amount on it.

From what I have noticed, Averatec products are priced lower than other brands, yet it it comes with the same feature when compared to other notebooks. Also, it actually performs as it should.

The GPS is the same. It comes with alot of features that the more expensive brands come with. It is very easy to use, and the buttons on the touchscreen are very large (I have thick fingers). The best thing about this GPS piece is that it is portable (it comes with a rechargeable lithium battery - will last about 2 hours) so that you can use it while walking in metropolitan areas where the streets are really close by. It comes with a car charger and a home charger (if you use it as a portable).

The price is incredible, I have seen it as low as $350 elsewhere, but I bought it at Amazon because I have bought other things here and I have never had a problem with them. The only other one that I have seen that is similar to this GPS from Averatec is a Garmin, but the Garmin is about $800 and it has alot of other stuff (like playing music) that I really would not care for or need.

Overall, I have been thouroughly satisfied with this product. Averatec is a brand that I can say has earned my business.
