 GREAT but practice with it locally first June 27, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I also considered a Tom-Tom but on the strength of the product reviews bought a Garmin Nuvi 360 after agreeing to pick up my nephew in NYC on my recent KS>VA>DC>NYC>VT>KS 4000+ mile trip (from which I've just returned). I practiced using it a month locally before hand (which was very helpful). It has far more strengths than weaknesses.
WEAKNESSES: Maps are not 100% accurate (maybe 99.99%): it directed me to drive a local street from which a bridge was removed 10+ years ago. It won't guide me to the local Lowe's home imprvmt store I've entered but instead to a house 8 blocks away on the same street. Its navigating formula heavily favors main streets/hiways so instead of taking me my usual shortest way home from the grocery store 6 blocks away, it directs me on a route over twice that distance using wider, more popular streets. When strong sunlight floods the windshield, I improvised a hood around the 360 to be able to view the screen. Garmin's customer service 800 # is so busy, I've been unable to get through.
STRENGTHS: Despite minor flaws, it removes 99.9% of the dread and frustration experienced in navigating alone through cities and unfamiliar places. You can depart from any directed route (the voice says "RECALCULATING" and immediately gives new directions to your goal). Several times I saw huge traffic snarls ahead from accidents/construction on both city & rural interstates but Nuvi let me confidently dart off on a side route and "wing it" fully trusting that my Nuvi would quickly find a route around the blockage. That saved hours and made me fully appreciate the man in the current (2007)TV ad who says "I love you" to the female voice in his Nuvi. The bundled windshield mount worked flawlessly on my Honda Accord. While some minor improvements will be made in future models, just as it is, I commend it highly. Wonderful, enormously useful product.

It worked straight from the box ... my NUVI360 was set up and running within minutes.
Most of the features are intuitive, and I had no problem in connecting to my PC to add MP3 tunes to the unit. The bluetooth features are just a big plus too.
The internal battery adds another dimension to getting out and about, as well as making planning trips before getting into the car so much easier.
No hesitation in recommending this product.

I am very happy with it. Bluetooth works excellent.
We travelled to Niagara Falls & Toronto and nuvi 360 did a perfect job.
I would higly recommend.
Reliable & easy to use June 27, 2007

Very easy to use and reliable, every bit as good as the review says. Had it for about 2 months and have used it extensively; however have not used any of the bluetooth features. There were a few rare mapping errors which is not the fault of the gps - such as a road reroute that is not in the current map. Otherwise it is flawless. Text to speech is good but can be improved by an earlier or quicker announcement of the upcoming turns. However there is always the onscreen next turn available as a backup. A mute button would be nice for a quick volume turn down during a cell call.
I am planning to buy a couple more for the other members of my family.

This satellite navigator is exactly what I wanted. It's anti reflective screen is excellent in the Florida sun. Also it is small enough, weighs very little and is slim enough to slip into my pocket to take into work. A good buy. The only thing is I wish I could have afforded to buy the larger screen one!
