We're starting to look at upgrading our old Garmin C330 unit and it looks like the Nuvi 1350 might fit our needs. I've looked pretty much everywhere but can't find the answer to a question: the specs say you can customize the routing criteria by avoiding highways, tolls, etc. but there is no mention of being able to avoid U-turns - our C330 does include U-turns in the avoidance menu. Does anyone know if the 1350 allows you to specify avoiding U-turns?

Also, can you enter the destination as coordinates, or does it only take addresses?

According to http://www8.garmin.com/manuals/3130_OwnersManual.pdf you may enter coordinates of a destination. I did not find anything on avoiding U turns, but every Garmin I have used contained this option.
