 Good First GPS Experience March 11, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am so far very pleased with Garmin Nuvi 360. This is my first experience with a GPS, so my expectations may be a lttle unrealistic. Mostly it has performed very well. However, I have a few nits to pick. One is that there is no way way for me to make a permanent routing correction. The unit wants me to make a series of turns when I leave my house that, due to a limited line of sight at one point, is far more dangerous than the way I like to go. So, every time I program the GPS at home, I have to listen to it say "recalculating" over and over until I find my way back onto the machine's preferred shortest route. Also, in downtown Atlanta the unit thought I was on side-streets when I was on I-75, and in North Georgia it sent me first up a two-track driveway in the middle of the night, then directed me right through the center of a ramshackle house. (It's a good thing it was so ramshackle, or I'd never have made it past the living room. Presumably it's in such rough shape because all of us Garmin users keep driving through it.)
I also wish the internal batteries were good for 8-10 hours, so that I could use it on long motorbike trips without the hassle of routing power to my handlebars. I also wish that the antenna arrangements were different, so that I could velcro the GPS unit to the bike. Mounting this kind of thing on a bike is a major pain, and on mine more so than most. Garmin could, I beleive, make it easier via better design. I also believe that the adhesive-backed surface mount should have been included for free, along with the suction-cup mount. In not including this accessory, Garmin is being greedy. (You must also buy the adhesive mount in order to use the optional bean-bag "friction" type mount; beware!) This kind of petty greed is not a good way to make long-term friends or build brand loyalty.
I don't own a blue-tooth phone, so haven't played with that aspect yet. It's my next scheduled upgrade.
Mostly, I like my GPS. becasue of my lack of exposure to other makes and models, I may be under-rating it at four stars.

This is my first GPS and I am not disappointed. All the positive comments in the reviews swayed me to purchase this. I can say that they were all true. However, I'm not convinced the bluetooth feature was worth it for me. As another reviewer noted, if you have a bluetooth headset, the value of a bluetooth speaker phone is questionable. I had no problems pairing this unit with my Verizon Blackberry 7130e.

The Nuvi 360 is a great piece of electronic gear. Within minutes of receiving it I installed it in my truck and had it working. My wife and I made a 1200 mile trip the next weekend and the Nuvi didn't miss a beat. Great directions. Great map views. The database is filled with restaurants, hotels, and gas stations which are easy to find using addresses or names.
It is very easy to navigate around in the Nuvi using the touch screen. The only aspect of the Nuvi that I think should be different is it should have a replacable battery just like our cell phones. Of course, this may be a design to force you to buy another unit when the battery goes out.

This is a great navigational device. The directions are right on. The mount works great along with the charger. Voice commands are loud and clear and the screen is very visible. Easy to navigate through the different features. There is one main problem with this unit. The microphone for the bluetooth feature works like crap. Do not buy this unit for this feature. I can hear the people talking to me, but they cannot hear me 60% of the time. This is not a result of bad reception on my phone either, I checked. I would recommend though.
