 Great GPS Good Price August 31, 2008
I took my new Garmin NUVI 360 on my trip from Salt Lake City, Utah to Yellowstone. It worked great for most of the time even in very remote areas. I also got a GPS on my rental car but Garmin NUVI 360 outperform all the time. One limitation on GPS in general is that you have to have the exact street address in order to search for the best route. Without the street address, it is very hard to use the GPS function between different states. For example, I could not ask the GPS to pick a route for me from SLC to Yellowstone since I did not have the a street address of Yellowstone in Wyoming. Yet, once I was in Wyoming, I could use the "Attraction" function to look for Yellowstone. So, for cross country or states trip and you don't really have the street address of your destination, it will be helpful to print out a route from the internet first.
 Never wander again August 31, 2008
I can only say that the Garmin 360 exceeded my expectations. There are clearly other products out there and I took the time to review them and settled on the Garmin. The naming of the upcoming street is a real plus. The overall package of features on the 360 Nuvi was just right for my intended use. The smaller screen is offset by the turn-by-turn voice feature which names the streets and indicates L or R turn.
Love this thing August 31, 2008
Awsome product. It took about 30 mins to really figure this thing out but once I did it really works great. I love that you can bypass construction and it recalculates your route automatically. The bluetooth is awesome for hands free mobile. The website is great for all of your questions like "how do you get the thing to say the street names instead of turn left in 100 ft". Just change the voice and it says the street names. The thing fits right in my front pocket when I'm not in the car. I haven't quite figured out how to navigate on foot that well. I tried it once and it was a little difficult to follow. Overall I am completely satisfied.
 Distorted Sound August 31, 2008
I own a Garmin Street Pilot C340 which has worked quite well for me in the past year and a half. I decided that I wanted a GPS that had a hands-free Bluetooth capability and because of the price, decided to get the Nuvi 360.
I found that the interface was very easy to use and similar to the Street Pilot. The directions worked great and initially I was very pleased with the purchase. Garmin really does a great job with their ease of use.
After connecting the Nuvi with my iPhone (which was easy) I was excited to put the Bluetooth to the test. Sadly, while talking through the Nuvi, the people on the other end sounded more like Charlie Brown's teacher than a normal person. It was virtually impossible to hear as the voices on the other end were so distorted. I certainly did not expect it to be crystal clear (because of the speaker size) but did expect that I could understand the conversation.
Due to my reason for buying this, I am going to send this back and hang on to my StreetPilot for a while. I noticed that some more expensive Nuvi models have wireless FM receivers, allowing you to talk through your car speaker. I'll wait until those go down in price and then try one of those!
 cryptic instructions, where is cust support? August 31, 2008
Had my Garmin 360 a couple weeks, and the suction cup keeps falling off the windshield, dumping the whole thing on the floor. So I decided to go to the Garmin web site to see if I can get a new suction cup. Somehow I end up downloading a new map.
Well, thats fine - I'd like the latest map. So, about an hour later (totally tying up my PC) it's downloaded and ready to install the update. Now the install window is asking for my product code that comes with the "Install disk". I don't know what they mean by the "install disk", there was no such disk - there is a CD with the owner's manual - but it has no "product code" on it. What is the stupid "product code"? All I find in the plethora of paper that came with this unit is a serial number, a registration code, and an unlock code. None of these worked in the update install. This is very frustrating and I can't find a number for customer support.
Anyway, hence the 2 stars.
