 Loving GPS! August 18, 2007
This is my first GPS system so i don't have very much to compare it on, only got it in yesterday but so far i love it.
DOWNSIDES:
-Price, i really think this unit is a good deal priced around $300, i think $400 is a bit much, and i think those who payed a grand is outrageous. I almost gave it four stars because of this but we're rating the item not the price.
The Good:
-Bluetooth: This was the reason i got the 360 and not the 350, my phone wasn't on the compatibility list but i still thought it would be possible to link and it is. I have the Verizon Chocolate LG 8500, which is pretty common so if you're on the fence about getting this system because your chocolate might not work just get it. It's great to have calls come through and not have to deal with your phone, it's difficult to go through your address book through the nuvi if you are driving but you can do it on your phone and it will transfer to the nuvi. The POI numbers are great it's like a mini phonebook.
-Design: Very lightweight and portable, at first it looked a little cheaper than i expected, it looked like it could have been a happy meal toy but once you boot it up, mount it in your car and get going it's great.
-The Navigation: Calculates position very quickly, lets you know your route very clearly, in other words it will say "Head straight 4.4 miles on Smith street then turn right on davidson" or something like that, it usually gives you another notification about .2 miles before the turn, and directly when you get to the turn it's almost impossible to miss and even if you do it will recalculate and get you back on track.
-Mount: If you are unsure about the window mount try it before buying the other mount. The Nuvi also comes with a dashboard option but its harder to remove, the window one stays in place well and can be moved easily, personally i mounted mine towards the top of my windshield so its out of the way and i can just look up for easy access, i drive an eclipse so the front of the window is a little too low and pushed back to do it there.
Overall im still getting used to the device but i've seen enough to know that it is a great product that does what it promises, i've never had a GPS system before but always wanted one. The main thing for me is if this thing can last me at least a year and preferabbly two without ridiculous upgrades then it will be a great product. $400 for two years i can handle, but anything less isn't that good. I'll update with any problems i have.

I bought this for my husband, who is a construction estimator and spends his days going from site to site all over the Bay Area. He has used this thing constantly since he got it, and he loves it. It gives him more mental "down time" so he can think about other things, listen to an audiobook, or mentally work out details of his work while he lets the Garmin guide him. Oh, and he likes messing with the voices. Great product.
Works great!!! August 13, 2007

This product has done everything I wanted it to and then some. It has worked getting me to business appointments. It worked as we walked all over San Francisco. I was surprised that it will even be able to convert Icelandic Krona into US$ for an upcoming trip
Great product garmin August 13, 2007

I bought this on August 9th and had fun with this over the weekend. I am a cab driver so i get to use this a lot in new orleans, here the the pros and cons.
Pros: Very quick signal and best route possible. Great and easy to use very easy. Mp3 is great bluetooth is great and the speaker are better than what i expect fra small device like this. Bluetooth connects very fast with most phones. Up to date maps and once i bought this i downloaded the software for free which is good. and a bonus amazon coustmer service is even greater. Very slick style and small enough to be your pda.
Cons: The winshield mount is not good at all every time you put it on 5 minutes later it will fall down. Battery is not good it is below average to say the least. On the bluetooth you can use this as a phone for ever thing besides text messages. If you live in a city with a lot of foriegn street names like in new orleans we have a lot of french names it does not pronounce the street to your liking but all the english names are the best pronounced in this.
I will update tonce i get to use this for a little while.
