Excellent Garmin Nuvi
Rating: 5/5 2009-01-06
This Garmin does all that it says it does. I believe Garmin is one of the best GPS devices out on the market. I have the Nuvi 750 and the Nuvi 360. Both do a great job. Oh, sure a gas station might not be were it says..but that's because periodically an update is needed. Stations go out of business. All GPS' need updates. Existing highways don't change that much. Accuracy is amazing when it comes to driving directions.
garmin is awesome

My daughter received this as a gift and I decided to treat myself since it was so easy to use. I have a Mercedes, and its navigator is useless compared to the simplicity and accuracy of the Garmin. I just bought one for my 95 year old father, it's that easy!! I take it everywhere--
Love it so far!

I am really pleased with this purchase! It is really elegant and compact - very light and portable. It is also very fast and accurate, including its timing estimates. I love its screen size too, and the display. The price is fantastic, the features useful and effective. I'd definitely recommend this product to everyone who's looking for a simple, useful and pretty navigator.

I have been looking for a GPS for along time when I stumbled on to the specific model. It has everything that I wanted, bluetooth (eventhough this dosen't have many phones to pair with) text to speach, turn by turn voice. Have been using for about 1 month. So far the only thing I don't like is that when your comming up on a turn it dosen't give alot of time to prepare for it. Other than that this is a great little unit.

The device sports a handy MP3 player, letting you play songs stored on SD memory cards.
Make Hands-Free Calls
The nüvi 360 integrates wireless technology with a microphone and speaker that lets you make hands-free mobile phone calls using your compatible Bluetooth-enabled phone. Simply dial numbers with the nüvi's touch screen keypad to place a call, and to answer calls, just tap the screen and speak directly into its built-in microphone.

In addition, you can easily look-up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or from your phone's call history log. Don't know the phone number for your destination? Simply find and dial it from nüvi's database of more than six million points of interest -- including hotels, restaurants, stores, and attractions.

Navigation and Entertainment with Ease
For starters, the nüvi 360 includes a high-sensitivity integrated GPS receiver that offers exceptional performance and reception. The unit's flip-up antenna includes an MCX-type connector for optional external GPS antenna connection. Preloaded software features maps of Europe or North America, and it includes automatic routing, 2D or 3D map perspective, turn-by-turn voice directions that speak street names, and a fingertip touch screen interface -- making navigation as easy as it gets.

But navigation is just the beginning. Like the nüvi 350, the nüvi 360 also includes many entertainment and travel tools including an MP3 player, audio book player, JPEG picture viewer, travel alarm, and currency converters.

The nüvi 360 features a bright, 2.8 x 2.1-inch TFT display with white backlight for easy readability. At 3.87 x 2.91 x 0.87-inches (WxHxD) and just 5.1 ounces, the unit is small enough to be placed on the dashboard with the included suction mount, or into your pocket for easy transportability. The unit also features Garmin Lock -- an advanced anti-theft feature that disables the unit from performing any functions until you type in a specific four-digit PIN or take the unit to a predetermined location. A built-in lithium ion battery will give you up to eight hours of power, and an included 12/24 volt adapter cable will let you run the navigator off your vehicle's power. An AC battery charger is also included.

A built-in Travel Kit that includes sample MP3s and audio books will get you started with entertainment, and with the unit's SD memory card expansion slot you can add optional software, such as language and travel guides. A USB port is also included for loading and updating data.

What's in the Box
Gamin nüvi 360, Preloaded City Navigator NT North America or Europe (full coverage), vehicle suction cup mount, AC charger, 12/24 volt adapter cable, dashboard disk, USB interface cable, carrying case, owner's manual, and quick reference guide.
