 Nuvi 360 Excellent Performer April 24, 2007
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I'm one of the earliest baby boomers and not so familiar with all the modern electronics so when I decided to take a chance and rely solely on the written reviews and ordered the nuvi 360 I was hoping it was all that they said. I am not at all dissapointed!!! It works wonderfully. But the best part is that you don't have to be a genius to operate it. It's simple and so easy "a caveman can do it." The holder that attaches to the windshield is strong and secure, the screen is large enough and bright, and the volumes is more than adequate for the normal ear.
I turned it on, let it do it's thing, typed in an address for a new customer way out in the boonies of New Hampshire, got into my car in Massachusetts, and it told me exactly what to do from my driveway on, and I arrived on schedule with no incident. My Verizon phone works fine through the bluetooth option, (except for the address book being transferred...no big deal), but the speaker phone is loud and clear etc. This is one modern gadget I can live with and even enjoy!!
 Great choice April 24, 2007

We got the Nuvi after being hopelessly lost leaving Newport, RI on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. I have been a long time user of the NeverLost whenever I rent from Hertz. So far, I found the Nuvi just as intuitive but I missed the option to select quickest route vs. most frequent used highway, etc.
A great buy... April 21, 2007

Everything that i expected in a GPS was found in the Nuvi 360. I wasn't sure if i wanted the bluetooth functionality, but decided to go ahead and splurge the few extra dollars. That turned out to be a good decision since its very handy. Though the GPS takes about 2 to 3 minutes in acquiring the satellites, i've never lost the signal. Sometimes when i'm on the road above the Holland tunnel, it thinks i'm in the tunnel. But then i just ignore it's directions, and then it recalculates & comes up with the right directions. Otherwise, the directions it gives are very accurate and has taken me safely through unknown territories :) For those who are thinking about getting a GPS for the first time, i would recommend this one as it's one of the best ones out there in this price range.
Pros:
Accurate tracking (most of the time)
Good voice clarity & volume
Bright & easy to see screen, even in sunlight
Hands free dialing
MP3, Photo viewer, Language Translations, etc (though i don't use these)
Cons:
Takes a few minutes to acquire satellites (don't know how it compares to other brands in this aspect)
Makes mistakes sometimes (like how i described above)
But overall, it's a great buy & would strongly recommend to anyone...
A Really Fine Product April 15, 2007

Although the Garmin Nuvi 360 doesn't always go where I think it should, it gets me there. And if I stray off the path it wants to send me on, it recalculates quickly, almost as if it knows where I want to go.
I bought the friction mount Garmin Portable Friction Mount for Garmin GPS Units (010-10306-00) which I like better than having it stuck on the windshield or rather permanently on the dashboard.
Oh yes, you can pair it with your bluetooth-enabled phone and make and receive calls. Very cool.
Most of the reviews for the model 350 have already said what I have to say, so there's not much to add. You do get a free Audible book (two "small" ones or one big one) which you can listen to if while you travel. You are required to sign up for a trial Audible membership, but after you've downloaded your book, you can cancel on-line. (I bought Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything which I had already read, but want to re-visit). A Short History of Nearly Everything
In sum, the Nuvi 360 is one of the coolest "toys" I've ever owned. Just don't let it distract you too much. You won't be able to take your eyes off it, even though it speaks very well on its own. (P.S. My wife and I agree that "Jack" is an easier voice to understand than "Jill".
Great GPS April 12, 2007

Wanted to buy the nuvi-350 but got hooked on to this for the bluetooth functionality. Great help for handsfree talking on the phone.works out of the box. Apart from the intial slow load times of satellites sometimes,I have not had any other issue with this GPS.Strongly recommend
