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 product for great price!   May 11, 2008
Most other reviews are spot on about how good this GPS is. I looked around for it on other websites before purchasing it. Amazon had the best price. I also found out that if you register your GPS with Garmin online then they let you download the 2009 map for free!


4 out of 5 stars Garmin Nuvi 360   May 11, 2008
The Garmin Nuvi 360 is perfect for someone who travels. It is compact making it easy to pack without losing its features. It offers Bluetooth, music, audio books, etc. The only downfall is that it takes a few minutes sometimes to find the satellite.


5 out of 5 stars Solid performance, good value   May 11, 2008
This is my second GPS. I had a Garmin Street Pilot I5 before this one and liked it fine, but when my mother recieved a Garmin Street Pilot C340 for Christmas, I tried it, and then I hated my I5. I then began shopping for a new GPS. I'll admit a bias for Garmin, mostly based on what I've read and friends recomendations, but also from my positive experience with my I5. I was really looking for a Nuvi 350 and based on how I use my 360, the 350 would have been just fine. The only reason I bought the Nuvi 360 was that it was priced about $25 less than the 350 at the time I bought it. The 360 offers Bluetooth connectivity that isn't available on the 350. I have enabled the Bluetooth on my Nuvi and on my cellphone and at first I was very excited at the capabilities of the system. But since then I don't use the Bluetooth because it is only usable in my vehicle at lower speeds. I drive a 2005 Ford F-150 and generally when I'm over about 35 mph, I have a hard time using the Nuvi as a hands free device because of wind and road noise. I noticed it actually does a better job when mounted to the windshield rather than dash mounting it with the included disk, because the speaker seems to need to be reflected off the windshield so that you can hear it more clearly. Overall though, the unit performs without many flaws and I can recommend it to anyone. I would not buy this unit because of the Bluetooth capabilities, but I would highly recommend this unit (or a Nuvi 350) as a good general purpose GPS navigator. It is very easy to operate, it is much more visible than my I5 and the touch screen is so much easier to use!


4 out of 5 stars it is great   May 9, 2008
It is great for travlling, however,sometimes the routine it provides is not the best nearest way.


5 out of 5 stars Navigation made easy   May 9, 2008
We purchased a Nuvi 360 prior to taking a 7 1/2 week road trip south. I did all the driving and my wife did the navigating. Her job was made quite easy because of the Nuvi. This thing is easy to operate and understand. One of the greatest assets is that it took us through large cities without any problems. It tells you to stay left or right, so it keeps you in the correct turn lanes. Locating fuel stations, restaurants, RV parks, etc. was also very helpful. This is the only auotmotive gps that I own. (I use a Garmin handheld gps for hunting) We were satisfied enough with this unit that we bought another one for our Son.
It's a great value for the price paid.
