Do you have problems seeing the screen or is it big enough?? Also, how does the receiver mount? Does it have to be on the windshield or can i hide it below the dash?
I haven't had problems seeing the screen - but generally I depend a lot on the voice. I use a ProClip swivel mount for the phone so I can adjust the angle. I just throw my receiver into the little cubbyhole under the radio. Unless I'm in a very difficult environment (big, wet trees or big tall buildings) it picks up the signal very quickly in there. Occasionally if I haven't used it in a while or if I'm in a completely new place (i.e., having flown somewhere and using it in a rental car) I put it on the dash because then it has to get a "cold" fix.

what makes the bt-359 better than the bt-338?
Here's an article comparing the two - http://www.gpspassion.com/fr/articles.asp?id=192. The only advantage to the 338 seems to be slightly longer battery life (and it's much bulkier). But the fact that the 359 uses a mini-USB plug for power for me is a huge advantage. And I love the size.
