 Solid performance, good value May 11, 2008
This is my second GPS. I had a Garmin Street Pilot I5 before this one and liked it fine, but when my mother recieved a Garmin Street Pilot C340 for Christmas, I tried it, and then I hated my I5. I then began shopping for a new GPS. I'll admit a bias for Garmin, mostly based on what I've read and friends recomendations, but also from my positive experience with my I5. I was really looking for a Nuvi 350 and based on how I use my 360, the 350 would have been just fine. The only reason I bought the Nuvi 360 was that it was priced about $25 less than the 350 at the time I bought it. The 360 offers Bluetooth connectivity that isn't available on the 350. I have enabled the Bluetooth on my Nuvi and on my cellphone and at first I was very excited at the capabilities of the system. But since then I don't use the Bluetooth because it is only usable in my vehicle at lower speeds. I drive a 2005 Ford F-150 and generally when I'm over about 35 mph, I have a hard time using the Nuvi as a hands free device because of wind and road noise. I noticed it actually does a better job when mounted to the windshield rather than dash mounting it with the included disk, because the speaker seems to need to be reflected off the windshield so that you can hear it more clearly. Overall though, the unit performs without many flaws and I can recommend it to anyone. I would not buy this unit because of the Bluetooth capabilities, but I would highly recommend this unit (or a Nuvi 350) as a good general purpose GPS navigator. It is very easy to operate, it is much more visible than my I5 and the touch screen is so much easier to use!
 it is great May 9, 2008
It is great for travlling, however,sometimes the routine it provides is not the best nearest way.
Navigation made easy May 9, 2008
We purchased a Nuvi 360 prior to taking a 7 1/2 week road trip south. I did all the driving and my wife did the navigating. Her job was made quite easy because of the Nuvi. This thing is easy to operate and understand. One of the greatest assets is that it took us through large cities without any problems. It tells you to stay left or right, so it keeps you in the correct turn lanes. Locating fuel stations, restaurants, RV parks, etc. was also very helpful. This is the only auotmotive gps that I own. (I use a Garmin handheld gps for hunting) We were satisfied enough with this unit that we bought another one for our Son.
It's a great value for the price paid.
Great Product! May 9, 2008
Product worked great right out of the box! I've used it on a number of occasions already and believe it was a good investment.

Garmin nüvi 360 3.5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS NavigatorThis is an excellent unit once you learn how best to use it. We have a place on the console so we don't mount it to the window which is bothersome as you have to be careful to remove any mark the suction cup leaves when you stow it to deter theft. We have found that using i9t between major destinations/way points is not desireable because if you deeviate from the route it starts spitting out instructions re: how to geet back on track. Once we approach an urban area and prepare to leave the major traveled route we turn it on, program the destination and it does a great job. Turn directions by street/road name is very important since "turn left at the next intersection" is grossly inadequate especially when intersections are close together. The unit comes with a carry case for the unit but it dooes not hold the cords, window mount, etc. so we purchased a camcorder case at Radio Shack that holds everything in a nice compact case that protects it well so we just stow the whole thing in the trunk. It's a theft magnet (high value on the resale market because it's one of the latest gadgets so leaving it in sight is an easy way to get a broken window and a lost GPS - while they're siphoning your gas.
