 Good device overall but some glitches for me July 18, 2007

I have owned the Nuvi360 for about two months and use it frequently. The pros are that it's easy to use out of the box with minimal reading of instructions and it does the job of getting you from point a to point b pretty well. Since this is the first GPS I've used (other than a Magellan in a rental car), I don't know if my gripes are universal to other units, but here they are. When the unit is fully charged, it works fine with or without the cable but otherwise, when you program a destination, the screen says "navigating" and just stays there. It doesn't say you need to charge the battery or plug it in . . . you have to figure that out yourself (since you can't see the battery charge icon from the "navigating" screen). So I just use the cable all the time now, unless I'm sure it's fully charged. The verbal alert to make turns is short --- .2 tenths of a mile. The screen for inserting the destination state and city is not clear . . . I had to play around with it to figure out how to insert each. Inserting the street address information is clear though. When you're on the narrative direction screen, if you hit the button at the bottom that says 'map' you think it will take you back to the direction map, but instead it takes you to the general map of the area in which you're located --- not too helpful. You have to hit the 'back' button to go to the actual map direction screen. All roads are described by CR - (county road) number; not street name. So, for instance, if you're expecting to turn right on Main Street, it will direct you to "turn right on CR-123" (assuming it's a county road, which, it turns out, most roads are). This may be true of all GPS's but it's kind of hard to get used to.
Some of the other screen prompts are also not as intuitive as they could be but after you've used it for a few weeks, you get used to it.
I've stored a few pictures on it and it was easy to load; the mp3/music sound is bad, as you would expect, so I wouldn't buy it thinking you can substitute it for an MP3 player -- maybe loading audio books would be ok, but I listened to a few tunes and it was pretty dismal.
Overall, for the price, this is a good unit. It's especially helpful if you have a passenger with you to look at it and alert you of upcoming turns, etc. The more you use it the better you'll like it.
 Great product! July 16, 2007

The Nuvi 360 is better than I had expected! It gives good directions and enough lead time to be prepared to get off at the correct exit. If you don't have a need for a hands free phone, you would be better served with the Nuvi 350. Exact same item without the blackberry capability.
THE BEST TOUR GUIDE!!! July 15, 2007

We debated between ourselves about which model to buy. We knew we wanted a Garmin, having owned a couple over the years. My husband wanted the larger screen, but for our use, we couldn't justify the increased price.
She does a very good job of navigation, although we don't always agree with her choice of directions. ;) We can't seem to retrain her, though.
The Bluetooth connection is a wonderful tool, enabling us to use our cellphone hands-free, and very clearly. We're glad we chose it.
