 A lot of product in a small package August 23, 2007
I have had my Nuvi 360 about 6 weeks and so far I love it! Initially I got the Nuvi 350 as a company gift and traded it in for the 360 because I wanted the Bluetooth feature. Once connected using the car stereo hands free calls in the car are great. Using the Nuvi's speaker while driving was not a good experience, the speaker is simply too small and call quality was not good. Once I had it connected to the car stereo the experience was totally different enjoyable and productive.
This is my third Garmin GPS in 8 years; all have been great products and did exactly what Garmin said they did. Each has been better than the last. The Nuvi is by far the easiest to use, lightest, and most feature packed. Initially I did not think I would use the MP3 portion however I find this more convenient while in the car than I thought. I am also planning a couple of airplane trips and plan on using this rather than my IPod.
The suction mount has worked perfectly and has not come off once. The POI feature is great and is ideal for going on trips or just finding out more about where you live.
I also added the GTM-12 FM Traffic Receiver; this is very useful to locate traffic problems. If you live in or plan to visit areas that are prone to traffic delays I would recommend this however check to see there is coverage first in those areas before you buy.
Overall the Nuvi is easy to use and fun. Highly recommended.
 Paid for itself August 23, 2007
Stuck in traffic.. no problem. just take the exit and the device recalculates the distance. Just one month of use and it has already paid for itself.

It's simple and works great. Garmin couldn't be more user friendly.
Only Flaws:
It's weird, if I change voice accents, I get slightly different directions.
The suction mount isn't quite as good on my old Garmin Street Pilot.
Subways/Trains/Overpasses above will make you lose reception in a second.
Not a 4 out of 5 but I would still highly recommend this to family/friends/and strangers like you.
If not this one, at least get a Garmin over the other competitors. Most user friendly, I've seen the other ones...not as quality as Garmin's line.
Great Product but the accessories need improvement August 20, 2007

I have had the Garmin Nuvi 360 for five months and have enjoyed using it in my travels. I find that the estimated time of arrival is always within a minute or two unless you run into traffic where it continues to recalculate. I often use it even when I know where I am going to be able to tell clients when I will arrive. It has helped me multiple times when I have had to detour from my main route. It recalculates quickly and keeps me going in the right direction. I do find that it has trouble finding the satelites if you turn it off in one place and back on in another.
Previous reviews stated that the volume of the speaker was too low and I would agree. Maximum volume is need to be able to hear the audio books, map directions or bluetooth if there is much noise in the car. That makes using the bluetooth difficult in my car. I have enjoyed the audio books very much and look forward to traveling and listening to them. It is much better than carrying that many cds.
It has been very helpful in locating points of interest (though I had to update my map to the 2008 edition that came out in July 2007 to get the most current list).
My main concern is with the accessories that came with it. Both my window mount and my car charger broke and are being replaced under warranty. The person I spoke with at Garmin was very helpful and arranged to ship me the parts right away. Be careful removing the charger from the car plug, mine popped the end off just pulling it out. The window mount pivot was tight and cracked one side trying to tilt it to a better angle of view. Both are being replaced under warranty. I purchased the bean bag dash mount and found it to be better than mounting on the window.
 worked for several months August 19, 2007

I purchased this in March and when it worked it was great. But now by August it is broken. I have spent part of the time out of the country so my Nuvi 360 has been sitting on my desk unused. Today I needed it and it can't connect and find the Sat signal. It asks if I am indoors while I am in my car and then asks if I am more than 100 miles from where I used it last. Well that became true as I drove and it still could not capture a signal. I hope the turnaround is fast on the repair!
