 This is a highly recommended product February 7, 2007

I purchased this product for my directionally challenged husband. This is absolutlely fantastic and incredibly accurate. My husband who loves gadgets, especially electronic, finds this to be a great tool to use. We have the Garmin Nuvi 360 and cannot believe how accurate it is, even in very rural areas. It works in cities, suburbs and country. I would recommend this product to anyone.
 Very satisfied: accurate maps but somewhat outdated POI February 6, 2007

Having lived with the Nuvi 360 for 3 months, I can state that it is quite user friendly and very compact in size. It's ability to pick up GPS signals from indoors (as long as you are near a window) is quite surprising. Also good is its PIN security feature that should deter theft.
Some minor complaints:
No option to re-organize your favorite locations according to alphabetical order. It lists only according to distance from present locale. An easily correctable software problem.
Mediocre link up with a bluetooth cell phone. None of the stored phone numbers are available for hands-free dialing. Hence the value of this feature is significantly compromised. You should save your money and buy the Nuvi 350 instead.
Phone numbers from the POI list have a +1 added to them thereby causing my cell phone to reject it as an international phone call. It's inconvenient and/or hard to delete this extra number. This annoying feature may reflect Garmin's European roots.
 Bad luck to get a defeated one February 4, 2007
3 out of 10 found this review helpful
With the so many good reviews and so high rate, I bought one during thanksgiving. It first lost signal every few minutes and need to reset the unit. After I upgraded the software, and it works fine just 30% of time. Occasionally, it went crazy and while I drove on a highway, it showed I drove on a nearby side road and consistantly ask me to drive on highlighted route. I reture it to Costco and thanks to their return policy, I didn't lose any thing. Just suspicious, if Garmin ship their defeated product to Costco, because they have the lowest price.
While it works fine, it is pretty nice device and should be very useful. That is why I give it a 3 star.
Address Finding & User Interface Rocks :-) POI is POS!!!!! February 3, 2007

Very easy to use, fast and accurate! The address database seems up-to-date. It found our house & we are in a very new sub division (not still accessible from google maps!)
The point of interest listing however needs to be updated badly! We could not find 3 out of the 4 businesses that we looked up by category (they had closed down!) and found none of the ones that we looked up by name & know exist!
Wonderful little gadget! February 2, 2007

We decided to get a GPS after being spoiled by borrowing my Mom's $1000 "monster" Garmin on pretty much every road trip we took. Not wanting (or needing for that matter) a model quite at that price level, I started looking at the Nuvi's and the smaller Streetpilots.
Having a unit that spoke street names was a must for us, as I was not always good at judging when to turn in "point two miles". :) This unit does a pretty good job pronouncing streets which leaves your mind free to worry about your driving. The map view is super easy to read also.
One of the neat features: As you see it has an MP3 player built in. We took a chance and tried it with our FM Transmitter (the generic kind that just plugs with a headphone jack) and it worked great! It pauses the music whenever it talks so you can turn the volume up and not miss turns.
My only little beef with the unit are the internal speakers. As nice as it is to have them built in, instead of attached to a power plug like other models, they're on the back side of the unit which faces your windshield. If you're listening to the radio or talking with someone in the car, you've got to have the volume cranked up all the way to hear since it projects away from you. Not real bright on the design end - but it's a small unit, & I guess you suffer a little function for sleekness. Still easy to listen to, don't get me wrong, but would have made much more sense to have speakers on the front or side of the unit.
Over all, you'll LOVE this thing. We do. It's so nice to have a tiny unit like this that just pops right out of the holder (no cords and mess) slides into a little PDA like case and goes with you everywhere!
