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.

5 out of 5 stars Great Bang for your buck!   July 27, 2008
After comparing several GPS products, I settled for this one, mainly because it tells you the street names. Often, there are more than one street to turn on to in the same intersection, and to hear "turn left on Elm Street", instead of just "turn left" (WHICH LEFT???) is really of great benefit. I have been using it now for several weeks, and I would not want to miss it anymore!


5 out of 5 stars Awesome, but...   July 27, 2008
Awesome in every way, but a little slow to initialize. However, I live directly in downtown so the buildings may interfere with the signal.


4 out of 5 stars Great product   July 27, 2008
I love this thing! I read all the reviews before buying it so I would know what to expect. It got me to most everywhere I needed to go or right in the area of it. I think with anything you buy it will never be perfect in every single way but this is pretty darn close plus tells you the street name. It gets you prepared for a turn and tells you when to turn and I LOVE the whole recalculation if you go a different way or cant get over to make a turn. I read some reviews that talked about it not being loud enough but I didnt have any problem with it at all even with the music on and two LOUD children in the back. I dont blare my music as high as it will go so I guess maybe that might be a bit of a problem, but If thats the case I would suggest to just turn your music off when you get close to your turn. It lets you know how many miles you have until your next turn and even lets you know which lane to stay in when there is alot of confusing turn offs like Atlanta.( its say something like " in point 4 miles stay left or in point 4 miles stay right") VERY VERY helpful.It gives you a few warnings before you have to turn or stay left or right. I read some reveiws that said the suction mount was no good. I had no problem with it. I like it very much actually. It sets perfect on the window where If I need to I can glance at it or mess with it or whatever. I had no problems mounting it. It stays put. I leave the mount up all the time. I live in Georgia and sun beams down on the mount but it is still up there and ready when I put the Garmin up. I bought the bluetooth for my husband when he get back from Iraq so I dont have a comment on that yet. I went to garmin to register my product and they gave me a free map upgrade which even with that there was a couple it was a bit off on but got me close. :-)But has been far more right then wrong. There are far more good things about this GPS than bad so It was a good buy for me. The size is also perfect. I thought maybe since the screen was smaller you might accidently hit the wrong thing on the screen but it is just perfect. My Favorite thing about it is telling you where all the food,hotels and fuel is in the area and how far away each one is plus gives you the number if you need it. GREAT for areas you dont know so just having that is well worth it all. Or if your not sure how to spell somewhere you want to go then type what you do know and it will give you everthing in the area that has those letters and what your looking for is sure to be on the list. Comes with everything you need - mount,USB for upgrades or charging it by computer,car charger and wall charger.


5 out of 5 stars Outstanding   July 26, 2008
This sucker is awesome. We have the nuvi 750 in our SUV and purchased this one for our car. I like this one better than the 750. It's the perfect size, easy to use, the bluetooth works great, and the price is right. The nuvi 360, unlike the nuvi 750, allows you to turn off the "safe mode" which allows your passenger to make corrections while you are driving; this is a very nice and convienient option. Simply put, I love it. Great decision buying it and believe me I looked at them all. If you want the larger screen but with all the options, go with the nuvi 760, otherwise, if size doesn't matter, this one does it all.


5 out of 5 stars Garmin 360   July 26, 2008
Garmin Nuvi 360. Great product lives up to its' name. The GOOD: Excellent detail and bright display even in car with sunglasses on. Very good resolution, battery life is everything they tel you. Detailed maps are incredibly accurate and the unit is just the right size for take-n-go. Because the unit is so compact, there's no need to "hide" this in your car every time you get out. The leather case it comes with is the perfect size to take with you.
The BADS: volume control is cumbersome at best. you have to leave the map/screen you are viewing just to turn volume up or down. very poorly designed if you ask me. The other bad, Garmin map updates are the worst in the world to have to deal with. When I received my unit, it had 2008 maps...now 2009 maps are available. Garmin will ship you out a CD of 2009 maps for free (within 3 months of your purchase) with their 2.5 gig "reload" for a quick $10 spot. (Yes, they are making a profit off of shipping and handling after you just purchased their product) If you choose to go on line and download the file, it's 2.5 gig (~4 hour download on most cable and dsl services). All in all, I'm far more impressed with the great unit than I am frustrated with the couple of gotcha's. If I lost this unit tomorrow would I buy the same one...YES. Don't let my editorial comments about the profit off of S&H sway you away from this unit.....Again, it's an awesome buy for $224.00 If you pay less...great...It's worth every penny of what I paid for it.
Strong BUY recommendation!
