 excellent gps May 4, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
this is my second nuvi!!! my first is the 360 and i have no complaints about it, i purchased the 370 because i travel in europe often..... this model is great because it fits in your pocket easily and can be carried easily when in walking mode. the screen is plenty big enough, if you mount this to the windshield you dont wanna go much bigger because itll make a huge blind spot this model is perfect in every way. i highly recommend this model
 A "mature" GPS product -- with some of the problems solved May 4, 2008

Succinctly: it's got a great screen, bright and adjusts for day vs. night. You can change even the accent in which it speaks to you. It will get your there 98% of the time. (as time goes on, and road construction continues, the map gets progressively out of date, but you can buy an update yearly if you desire.) I buy it every other year.
Now this is not my first GPS. We own two cars with them built in, a Toyota Sierra van 2004 and a Lexus Hybrid 2006. The GPS systems are similar but the Lexus is a bit updated from the Sierra. We've also rented cars with GPS systems either internal or external.
Each will give you "mostly" the correct directions with an occasional odd error or weird routing. Sometimes because a very odd route is marginally shorter, it will send you around the mulberry bush to get somewhere you could get to straightaway. It does NOT know dangerous or sketchy neighborhoods. It is unaware of traffic unless you activate the traffic service (which after an initial period, you must pay for on a subscription basis). Its estimates of the ETA are based on your current speed or your average speed but are rarely accurate. This is true of all the GPS units we've tried and/or owned.
All of that said, this unit is small, light, portable, easy to program and has many extra features (most of which I find unimportant or redundant. I do NOT need a GPS to also be my iPod. I like those functions separate.
I have found this to be an extremely easy, reliable and usable unit. My experience with Garmin's tech support with a previous nuvi 360 unit was incredibly wonderful. They are simply great to work with and usually solve the problem forthwith. The best tech support still available on any product I own. This alone is worth the price of admission.

I am impressed with the Garmin Nuvi 370. The fact that it is portable makes my life easier. I can stick the unit in my pocket travel on foot, bike or Motorcycle and with a quick startup find out where I am. The Maps are easy to read, the navigation has good options and recalculated pretty quick if driver error happens (that is I take a wrong turn). Overall I do rate the unit highly and with the language translator and European maps, I plan to take the Nuvi with me on my next European adventure.

I've had the unit for a few months. It changes the way we drive in that we can focus more on the road and less on the signs. Unfortunately, it does makes mistakes. On more than one occasion we were told to get off at places that made no sense. When I knew the roads, I just ignored the instructions but it's not so great when one doesn't know the route.
What I like most is that I use the unit to listen to my audio books and the unit cuts in rather talks over the speaker. I believe that makes for a safer trip.
Some of the interfaces are not as smooth as they could be. For example, when placing a call it should assume you want to call the place you're driving to as a default. It doesn't.
Overall, I like it very much.
