 Great unit. Great Price May 14, 2008
This is my third Garmin purchase. I had purchased 2 nuvi 350. One for myself and a second for my daughter. Now a Nuvi 360 for my son. These units are outstanding. I would have purchased a third 350, but at the time Amazon was offering the 360 for less than the 350 and it had more features.
Bluetooth being the main difference between the models. The most important feature these units offer is the ability to speak street names. This allows the driver to keep eyes up on the road looking for street signs instead of trying to see a map. Do not let the small screen fool you. There is really no need for the larger screen as mentioned above your eyes should be on the road. I find the smaller unit a plus, given the increase in smash and grab attacks on GPS units, this unit fits easily into you pocket or a ladies purse. The small size also allows for easy mounting in place other than your front windshield. In all 3 of our cars the units are mounted down in the floor console using included disk and still receive a great signal with accuracy in the 12ft range. This makes concealing the units easier. The small size and long battery life also make it a good portable unit when walking in a city(set to "walking" to get shortest route).
Set up is easy and there are more than enough POI. The POI often include phone numbers, which when traveling is a great feature.
Like anything there are a few things that could be better. Saved locations now appear in list based on your location with saved location nearest to furthest. It would be nice to be able to sort by other ways (i.e.: alphabetical). The suction cup mount does not hold up well if you leave it on your windshield. 2 days in the summer and it was melted to the glass, another reason to consider a different mounting location.
Map updates are reasonable, especially when compared to the built in unit from car makers. Firmware/software upgrades are fast and easy on Garmin's web site.
All in all I think this unit offers everything you will need. The price is great on Amazon. My first unit was $500 and the last was half that.
Good GPS....I will deem it as smart investment May 13, 2008
I recieved my GPS from Amazon Today. Used it little bit to try it....and I am luving it..this is the first time I used bluetooth handsfree calling...it was crystal clear....and GPS directions are good so far....I will say it is one of the best models in market based on my 1 day experience and my friends feedback who have used this one for few months.
Great Item!! May 12, 2008
The Garmin Nuvi 360 is very user freindly. This is the first "High Tech" device I've purchased. It does everything it says it can. I was impressed with the ease of use, daylite and night time mode. I even set up the blutooth feature myself. This is not a toy, but it sure is a lot of fun. Hope this helps you to make an informed decision....
Great Device May 12, 2008
A ton of people have reviewed this device and almost all of them are effusive in their praise. I'll add to that majority opinion by agreeing that this is a great GPS device. However, I think the Bluetooth integration is what really makes it stand apart.
Searching for and being able to call a POI (Point of Interest) is great. Need a hotel nearby? Just do an intuitive POI search and then click call. You can get directions and be calling for availability/reservations in one easy process. Got an incoming call coming in? See the caller ID on the GPS without having to look down at your phone. Answer with one touch and carry on the conversation via the speaker phone.
That does bring up the one (and only!) complaint I have. The speaker on the speakerphone is not the greatest... it makes coherent conversations a challenge. I think it's more of an indictment with speakerphones in general, and not really a flaw with the nuvi 360... and I have found there is a nice "transfer audio" function that will route the audio to my phone for more traditional usage.
I've been very happy with this device and cannot recommend it more highly.
nuvi360 review May 12, 2008
This is a nice one to have but some time this doesn't give you the quickest way. Some of the places are not correct. I don't know whoose fault it is for eg: home depot on milton ave, camillus NY is no where near garmin says.
