I actually have the 760 and I have to say that the wide screen is preferable. Everything seems a little more spread out. If you are looking for mounting options, I have to give you this link. This is about the best possible mounting option I have ever seen!! Very good stuff, no holes to drill and I didn't even use the tape provided. Just clips on and stays there. Easilly removable.

Search for your car and your nuvi. You have to buy 2 parts, but it will be customized for your application.

Just this afternoon I used the 660 I bought my father-in-law for xmas (he likes to be chauffered for longer distances nowadays) and I admit that I like the larger screen but I'm not sure it makes up for the portable size of the 350.

Ceramic Tint all around, Bilstein Sports shocks with Eibach springs, Brake performance Rotors and Axxis ceramic pads.
I use a Garmin Que M5, it is a PDA/navi. I don't think they make this anymore. Still serves my purpose.

I have the 660 and also like its widescreen feature. While it is larger, I can still take it with me when I travel and have to rent a car. Use a beanbag mount on the dash.

I've got the 670 and it's great. Especially after recently moving to Minneapolis from Virginia--from the country to the city (I used to be on faculty at Virginia Tech)--and getting to know a new place it's wonderful!
It also has European city data built-in for when we go back over the pond (when---if---the dollar gets back some smack and it doesn't cost a fortune).
