The Garmin 1350LMT is basically an upgrade to the excellent Nuvi 1350T. All of the Garmin Nuvi 1200, 1300 and 1400 series of GPS units all come with customizable data fields and have the ability to utilize mass transit and pedestrian features on Garmin's CityxPlorer maps.

The 1350LMT has also been redesigned to make it slimmer so as to easier to carry when on foot. It also has a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery that will give you up to 4 hours of use.

This device can also calculate the most cost effective, "fuel efficient" route to take as well. It is called EcoRoute and can track fuel usage while driving helping to save you money.
