Hi All

Garmin does not say on the web site how many satelites the new
nuvi350 can trace simultanously.
Does anybody know?

Garmin has either not released very technical specs on the nuvi yet or
does not intend to. I have read that the nuvi has the SiRF III chipset
(Garmin only mentions it being WAAS capable SiRF equipped).

If it is the SiRF III chipset, that would be a 20 channel receiver. Not
sure that it can track that many satellites at the same time though.
Here are some specs for the Sirf III:

Are there places where 20 satellites are visible simultaneously?
