 Fantastic product...leads me all the way. August 5, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
So after quite a bit of research I bought the Nuvi 360 as a birthday gift to myself...my wife says I'm too picky for her to chose a GPS for me (she knows me pretty well). No disappointments here!
Got it fast, just in time for our summer vacation trip to east Tennessee. It took us straight to the cabin on the lake, and was accurate both in directions and time of arrival. It's amusing how the voice sounds agitated when it says "recalculating" as you make a different turn than directed (we pulled off at an exit to do some shopping before continuing on our way). But once on our way again it was right on track. I've tested it a couple of times and found a couple of small glitches in my hometown (population 13,000). One was a dead-end street the Nuvi thought continued to another street a block away. No big deal...as far as I'm concerned that's to be expected. They can't know everything. Got to test out the "Detour" function with all the highway construction in Knoxville. The Nuvi found the next closest route and moved us right back on track.
The bluetooth connection is good. Linked it to my wife's Samsung cell phone and pulled her address book right up on the screen. Call connections are typically no worse than normal cell service although there can be some distortion at higher volume levels (it's not a hi-fi system so don't expect it to be). Got an SD card and put a ton of mp3's on it so my wife and I can listen to "our" music while the kids watch a DVD on the minivan's system. Again, not a hi-fi system so don't expect fantastic sound from its single speaker, but it is clear and loud enough for the kids to gripe at us to turn it down so they can hear their movie.
All the connections and attachments you need are there so you can use it right out of the box, and there are also a lot of great free downloads even the kids think are cool, like different vehicles to choose from. To keep them from arguing I had to let the kids take turns choosing whether we would be the eagle or the fire truck or the stock car on each trip. Overall a great purchase I would highly recommend.

This is a super GPS unit . It has every thing that you could want and more.We use this Garmin when we travel both in cars and on foot with confidence in getting where we want to go in the best way.Its bluetooth capabilities put it over the top for a great GPS unit.

This product was just what we wanted and at the best price around. We tried out the bluetooth function and was able to talk to friends like it was a speakerphone. The only downfall to the bluetooth was the text messages, they didn't come over on the GPS like we felt it should. It is great how you can customize the GPS to have the voice you enjoy hearing and the car/truck/motorcycle you prefer to display. Directions are up to date and has gotten my husband exactly where he needed to go several times already.
I would suggest this product to anyone and will likely buy another one for my parents for Christmas!
 Garmin nuvi 360 Portable GPS August 4, 2008
Great product. Easy to use. The only downside is that the battery does not last very long.
Great GPS for affordable price August 3, 2008
I purchased the Nuvi 360 to navigate the unknown roads of central California for work. The GPS functionality of the 360 is great provided you set the system up properly. You can avoid or allow certain parameters for the travel (highways, toll roads, u-turns, etc) which make travel convenient. I made several left turns to get turned around to find out that I had clicked to avoid u-turns. The maps are installed so there are no downloads needed. Several locations that are under construction in CA allow the system to tell me to return to the right road or that it is recalculating the route. Overall, great GPS for the money. It has other features as Bluetooth capabilities, MP3 player, and picture viewer. None of these features will meet most users expectation. I have used the Bluetooth for my cell phone with extremely poor results.
Even with the downsides to the Nuvi 360, I would definitely purchase another and recommend it to others.
