which Garmin do I want?

| I was looking at the Nuvi 350 but after reading some of the posts here
it seems like it may be lacking a few things I like in my Legend.
Here are some of those features I would like to have (in no particular
order of importance):
* the ability to have more than one waypoint (or layover or stopover
or via-point or whatever you want to call it) per trip.
* the ability to program complex routes on my computer (i.e. using
something like MapSource) and use on the new unit.
* time/distance-to-turn, time/distance-to-waypoint,
time/distace-to-final destination.
* elapsed mileage per trip.
Thanks.

| Nüvi whant do what you need. No route transfere and only one via point.
60CSX or Zumo would do this.
They also support track log , so you can look later where you traveled.

You might want to look at the Garmin iQue 3600. I started using a
Garmin eMap, but found the iQue's PDA function very useful.
Both offer waat you are lookin for. The eMap is cheaper on ebay.

| I like the tracklog (actually had to use it a few times in my old
Legend). Is it true that most of the Zumo's don't speak the street
names?
The 60csx doesn't talk, right? I want something that talks otherwise I
would just keep using my Legend.

I already have a PDA. I would like to have a GPS separate from a PDA.

Garmin's Quest or Quest 2 will do all that. They support voice prompted car
navigation too.
