 Too few options May 9, 2007
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
The Nuvi 360 was another milepost on my journey to find a GPS unit with all the features I want. In the end I took it back, because it gives too few options, expecially when editing the routes it creates.
The 360 was a very zippy unit, grabbing satellite aquisition fairly fast and calculated routes quickly. The redraw on the map while scrolling is pretty slow, however. In all, I was pretty happy with the response of the unit.
The problem comes after you've created your route. You might be one of those people who are more than content to just take the route the GPS unit gives you, and be happy with it.
However, I live in a big city, and lack the FM traffic feature. So, when I make a route, there are definitely roads I like to avoid, that have construction, would be just too busy at that time of day, ect, ect. With other GPS units I have used, it's a simple matter to bring up the street itinerary and exclude portions that will slow you down. You cannot do this with the Nuvi, however. Yes, you can exclude highways or only use highways or whatnot. But this isn't enough for me, I need the ability to exclude certain portions. The route calculation for this unit is pretty good, but not perfect enough to have me always not wanting to edit where it wants to take me. You can recalculate the route, but generally it only gives two or so different ways to go, and I'm still wishing I could make changes.
So if you're like me and wish to occasionally get deep and dirty with route editing, don't get a Nuvi. The other thing was the small screen in comparison with the 4" plus screened units that are being released these days for less money. Looking at the Nuvi compared to these units is like trying to read directions from a postage stamp. Also, the sound is very low, even at top volume setting.
Me, I'm still wandering the GPS market.

A recent long car trip proved the worth of my new GPS unit. It easily navigated us through and around major cities and back roads between them. I would say the maps and information in the Garmin are not as up to date as one would like. we found several roads and intersections that had been rebuilt and revised since the Garmin maps were created. Several restaurants were some years out of date and were closed or changed names. The unit worked perfectly, was pretty easy to use and understand and the out of date maps were seldom if ever a big problem. All in all, a good buy.

The unit I purchased would lock up the screen. Garmin did not provide any solution. Thanks to Amazon, they were very professional and offered a replacement of the product. They were very prompt in shipping the replacement even before they received the defective unit back. Thanks to Amazon.com

We truly enjoy going places now more than ever. The size of this GPS is great, it slips into my purse or my husbands shirt pocket. It might be only us, but the only trouble we have had so far is being able to put in a RT # to travel, or the shortest route...other gps do have this option,
I do like the fact that you can get all kinds of info about a city while traveling, we just did the east coast, from maine to florida. great investment.
 lost in a parking lot May 6, 2007
My nuvi has changed my life on 2 counts. I can actually navigate myself on road trips and it has offered me new confidence to my previously electronically challenged state.
This little device is so easy to program and I no longer get lost in a parking lot.
I will soon have the opportunity to allow it to navigate me (with a map upgrade) through multiple stops on a upcoming business trip to Australia.
You cannot go wrong!
