 Garmin Nuvi 360 - perfect! December 3, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is my first GPS unit. Garmin Nuvi 360 comes with up-to-date v2008 map, text-to-speech, case, mount, wall and mobile power cord and usb cable. It has everything you would need plus mp3 and bluetooth-capable. The menu system is user-friendly. Its text to speech actually pronounces the highway numbers as one-o-one for HWY 101 instead of one hundred and one, as a friend noted on another branded gps unit.
Locating nearby points of interest, e.g. restaurants and malls, and saving favorite locations are also easily accomplished.
A GPS unit is a must-have especially when driving to unfamiliar locations.
I bought the nuvi friction mount because CA law prohibits usage of windshield mount. It keeps the unit stable. I read about the vent-mount and also wonder how easily it could be removed from the vent to hide the unit.

I got my Nuvi 360, it worked well for a couple of weeks , but the sound (voice) went out and now all I have is the visual, then you realized how much you need the voice, specially when driving alone.
I'm on a job with lots of driving and I have not time to return the Nuvi, so for now I hate the damm thing, I think that for this price the quality sould be better.
So I'm very disapointted and I want my money back, don't buy it.

Garmin Nuvi 360 December 1, 2007

Easy to read screen and accurate directions. This units portability is a real plus when traveling and using rental cars. Plays MP3's but most folks would find the sound quality inadequate. Bluetooth phone connection is easy to set up and use but I get some complaints from people that I call that it breaks up on them. It even reads text messages to me! On balance a great feature and much safer than holding a cell phone. My previous GPS was a Magellan Roadmate 700. After a month of using the Garmin Nuvi 360 I think the Nuvi has several advantages although they are both competent devices.
Very well engineered which is refreshing today November 29, 2007

I just got my Nuvi 360 and I must say it deserves the high reviews it is getting. This is one of the first pieces of electronics gear I have picked up in a long time that is intuitive to use and is well engineered. Mine came with the most current maps and firmware already loaded.
The only criticism I can find in the short time I have been using this are these: and they are minor considering the current price.
#1. Even though the maps are the most current level - in the new area I live in NW of Des Moines, it doesn't know a lot of the newer streets. Not a big deal as I know where I'm going here. This is a problem with all GPS software - the maps are always behind the roads being built.
#2. The speaker distorts a bit on it's highest level. I realize it is a very small speaker - but for the most part it works good for it's size.
#3. I agree that the Bluetooth could use some improvement. It does sound scratchy and people on the other end constantly hear an echo. Once again this isn't a deal breaker for me. Since this was only a couple of bucks more than the 350 model - I consider it icing on the cake.
#4. I agree a QWERTY keyboard for input would be a much better input device. Once again, not a big deal, but I'm surprised they didn't go this route.
#5. I would like to see the ability to reorder your phone list by last name instead of first name in the Blue Tooth software.
#6. Getting at some menu items should be quicker. Sometimes you have to go through 3-4 menu items to find what you are looking for. An example of this is seeing how long a trip is by mileage.
#7. I'd like to have the option of setting more than one way point. I know this is on the newer 700 series models now.
For the money this thing is selling for now - it's a steal. I can live with the small faults it has for the low price it is currently selling for. I'm most amazed at how well this thing locks onto the Sattelites.
I was locked from the inside middle of my home!
Some people have complained about the build quality. I think it is very well built and the size is just right. I wouldn't want it any bigger. I'm impressed with the extras it comes with including a carrying case, AC + DC adapters, and multiple mounting kits. The picture viewer and audio book capabilities are very nice and you get two free downloads within the first month.
Bravo Garmin for a very well engineered and easy to use product.

I ordered a Garmin Nuvi 360 on Nov 23--Amazon said item would be shipped on Nov 26. When no e-mail notice of shipment arrived, I called Customer Service the morning of the 26th-they said- Item will ship today. I called later in the day-they said-I see the item being scanned and put on to the truck. No e-mail. Went on-line Tuesday Nov 27th-checked Status of order--seems Amazon decided to change the shipping date estimate to either the 29th or 30th. Called Customer Service, their response was-so sorry, was a mistake by the Fulfillment Center, customer service offered to refund my shipping charge-$3.49 -big deal-told them to keep it. Asked them to let me speak to Fulfillment Center--seems these people are a special breed-they cannot be contacted by phone-only e-mail and only by Customer Service--the customer cannot speak to these chosen individuals. Customer Service sends them an e-mail-they do not even bother to respond. So the customer is basically screwed and at the sole mercy of the Fulfillment Center. Customer Service could give a care about the customer. Beware about making a purchase from Amazon.com.
