My initial reaction would be to say that the 650 is better, but is this actually the case? Beyond the widescreen, is it actually better? I have heard some say that the 650 is lacking memory space compared to the 350. Anyone?

Thanks

Scroll down here to see the comparison chart between all Nuvis. 650 has a bigger screen - but it also plays MP3s - 250 does not.

Nuvis

"The most popular of the ?entry level? series systems, stepping down to the garmin nuvi 250 from the GPS does represent a big cash savings at the cost of many of the bonus and extra features. Same map data, smaller screen and lose of such bonuses as mp3 player, Traffic receiver, and a few other things. The Garmin Nuvi 250 recommend for budget travelers within Canada / USA that may be taking their unit across us / Canadian borders"

if you don't care about the mp3 functionality, are the two really similar in the way they're used?

They are used exactly the same way - but, if it matters, the 250 also does not have the Traffic receiver.
