 How did I live without it? August 31, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I can't say enough about this system! It's my first so I really have nothing to compare it to, however, I can't see it getting much better than this. I have used it many times, and even to places I'd been before, and learned new, faster ways to get there! I also like the fact that it has so many options (different voices, ways to display the maps, even the type of car, truck or bike that's shown on the monitor. If you're thinking about getting a nav system, this is the one!!
Great August 31, 2007
The product was in excellent condition, shipping was in the promised time frame, I had no problems at all.
Great GPS! August 30, 2007

I read many reviews on GPS units in preparation for a family trip we were taking and opted to purchase the Nuvi 360. I couldn't be happier. While driving through North Carolina at 4:30am and looking for a hotel, the Nuvi 360 was a blessing! I touched "lodging" and it gave me hotels in the area, touched the hotel, which brought me to the address and phone number and then touched "call" and it put me through to the hotel to check availability! The bluetooth worked without a hitch. The only drawback is that when someone calls you on your cell, you are on speakerphone through the Nuvi until you can navigate to the screen to send the call to your phone. One day I was on the patio and called my daughter and the call was routed through the Nuvi 360 which was in the kitchen, broadcasting her saying, "Hello? hello?"
When my husband opted to leave the suggested route to circumvent traffic around the George Washington Bridge, the Nuvi 360 kept trying to get us back to the "chosen" route, which was a little annoying but only temporarily.
Once we reached our destination and settled in, the Nuvi 360 was indispensable for getting around in an unfamiliar town. I used the "food" feature to find places to eat and did not run into the problem others have had where the restaurant had gone out of business.
I found it helpful on vacation that you can type in "Wal Mart" and the Nuvi 360 searches the area for the nearest Wal Marts and gives you a list. Very disappointing that the closest Dunkin' Donuts was 358 miles away during a long drive one night, lol.
On the way home, there was an accident in South Carolina that shut the highway down for a period of time. Traffic was backed up for miles. I touched "detour" and it took us off the highway, around the traffic and back onto I-95 beyond the tie-up.
I also purchased the Garmin Friction Mount which sat on our dashboard (Chevy Suburban) and never moved an inch. It was great. We would take it down and put it in the console when we reached our destinations and put it back up on the dash when on the road again. No tell-tale sign of a GPS on our window.
We've only had this unit for a couple of weeks and I doubt I'll be using it around my home town, but it certainly makes trips to unfamiliar areas much more enjoyable.
 overall good device August 29, 2007
Overall I have been pleased by this device. My needs were a multifunctional GPS that also had a bluetooth unit. As for the GPS itself, it is easy to use, intuitive and directs better than my other car unit (built in with car purchase). It is quite accurate and we used it on a trip recently to Canada without any problems at all.
As for the bluetooth, it is quite "tinny" sounding and is not as good as I would have hoped for. Perhaps this is not due to the unit itself, but all portable GPS units may have this limitation as the speaker(s) are small.
Anyway, I have been pleased with the device and would recommend its purchase to anyone in need of a solid GPS that is easy to use and has good features.
Great product August 29, 2007
I am very happy with this GPS navigator so far. I like the fact that you can enter multiple destinations and the unit will guide you to each one. I also like that you can look up various points of interest- either by category or by name. The one thing that I wish worked better is when your course comes to a detour, one can push detour and the route will recalculate. However if the road is detoured for several miles, it will keep recalculating to try to guide you back onto the same road. I know that the maps that are loaded do not have every detour programmed into them, nor could they. But it would be helpful if you could somehow manually program in detours so the unit wouldn't keep trying to route you through those roads.
