 Garmin Nuvi 360 July 2, 2008
I've only used it a couple of times so far, but it's pretty great! one of my first trips trying it out, (just a local drive that I already knew), I screwed up the address I typed in, but it was amazing how many times it tried to correct me when I missed turns that would've brought me to the address I actually typed in. That's good to know for the future.
only 4 stars, since I haven't had a chance to use it more :)
 slow response, good when it works July 2, 2008
slow response time and very slow to catch sattellites, sometimes very furstrating. when it does, it works great.
Good, but missing a lot of new roads July 2, 2008
I love having this, but in our area there is a lot of new developement and we have found that it does not recognize a lot of newer streets. I didn't think this would be a big deal, but there have been several times that we had to go back to Mapquest to look something up because our unit didn't acknowledge it. Otherwise it has been a life saver. I LOVE the fact that it announces street names instead of the "turn left in 200 ft" that older models say. With a car full of kids, I need to know exactly what road I am looking for. Overall, it is good. Glad we paid more to get the road announcement, just wish it was a little more updated.
 Worth the hype and every penny !!! July 2, 2008

I recently bought the Nuvi 360 and have been using it for about a week, so far the Nuvi has been great. It is quick to catch onto satellites and the best part of it, if you happen to change your route or miss the turn, it recalculates a new route so fast that you will have time to make the next turn. The best part of it all, Garmin gave me a free update to the 2009 map software when you register online. It is 2Gb to download, so I guess you can pay an extra $7 to get it shipped by DVD.
I am really glad I went with the 360 over the 350. The bluetooth function is an icing on the cake. I liked the loud, clear voice on speaker. But if your fone is a bit far from the device, there is a lot of static (about a foot). One thing I have to complain about is the battery life. Garmin advises you to always connect it to a power cord. Its sometime annoying/ugly to have wires running from ur dash to your windshield. With brand new batteries, they would go for 1-1 1/2 hrs I only wish they lasted longer. I guess that should be enough if you are in a quick commute mode. Overall an excellent product and I would definitely recommend anyone to go with this cheaper nuvi than the expensive ones.

The Nuvi 360 has been great in guiding me to my destinations. I bought a 260 for my boyfriend earlier this year and he really liked it. Of course now that he's seen mine, he wants mine. I decided that with all my traveling to get one for myself and the 360 was going for less than what I paid for the 260 earlier this year. Oh well... The ability to take the GPS with me has been a plus. I can program the addresses into the unit before I go and it's ready to use when I arrive. I found the Nuvi was pretty intuitive to use. Didn't take long to figure out the basic functions.
I haven't used the bluetooth speakerphone function yet as it doesn't support my cell phone. Once I get the drivers, I intend to test that function. Nor have I used the MP3 player function - why bother when I have my radio. I'm just not into an all in one toy. I wanted a GPS first and foremost.
The only pet peeve that I have about the 360 is the antenna flap. It's a bit annoying to have to flip out the antenna and I've found that it also limits the positions that the Nuvi can be placed. But, on the flip side, there are only so many positions for the unit anyway. I do see the antenna as a problem as it could break off. However, I am happy with my purchase so far.
