 Awesome, but... July 27, 2008
Awesome in every way, but a little slow to initialize. However, I live directly in downtown so the buildings may interfere with the signal.
 Great product July 27, 2008
I love this thing! I read all the reviews before buying it so I would know what to expect and I dont know how anyone can complain. It got me to most everywhere I needed to go or right in the area of it. I saw one person complain about how it says some of the names weird but it gets you there. Does it really matter how it says Wal-mart?? It is pretty funny though. I think with anything you buy it will never be perfect in every single way but this is pretty darn close. It gets you prepared for a turn and tells you when to turn and I LOVE the whole recalculation if you go a different way or cant get over to make a turn. I read some reviews that complained about it not being loud enough but I didnt have any problem with it at all even with the music on and two LOUD children in the back. I dont blare my music as high as it will go so I guess maybe that might be a bit of a problem, but I would suggest to just turn your music off when you get close to your turn. It lets you know how many miles you have until your next turn and even lets you know which lane to stay in when there is alot of confusing turn offs like Atlanta.( its say something like " in point 4 miles stay left or in point 4 miles stay right") VERY VERY helpful.It gives you a few warnings before you have to turn or stay left or right. I read some reveiws that said the suction mount was no good. I had no problem with it. I like it very much actually. It sets perfect on the window where If I need to I can glance at it or mess with it or whatever. I had no problems mounting it. It stays put. I leave the mount up all the time. I live in Georgia and sun beams down on the mount but it is still up there and ready when I put the Garmin up. I bought the bluetooth for my husband when he get back from Iraq so I dont have a comment on that yet. I went to garmin to register my product and they gave me a free map upgrade which even with that there was a couple it was a bit off but got me close. :-)But has been far more right then wrong. There are far more good things about this GPS than bad so It was a good buy for me. The size is also perfect. I thought maybe since the screen was smaller you might accidently hit the wrong thing on the screen but it is just perfect. My Favorite thing about it is telling you where all the food,hotels and fuel is in the area and how far away each one is plus gives you the number if you need it. GREAT for areas you dont know so just having that is well worth it all. Or if your not sure how to spell somewhere you want to go then type what you do know and it will give you everthing in the area that has those letters and what your looking for is sure to be on the list. Comes with everything you need - mount,USB for upgrades or charging it by computer,car charger and wall charger. Christmas is coming up around the corner and I sure do know what the best gift will be for a couple of people in my family. ( just without the bluetooth :-))
Outstanding July 26, 2008
This sucker is awesome. We have the nuvi 750 in our SUV and purchased this one for our car. I like this one better than the 750. It's the perfect size, easy to use, the bluetooth works great, and the price is right. The nuvi 360, unlike the nuvi 750, allows you to turn off the "safe mode" which allows your passenger to make corrections while you are driving; this is a very nice and convienient option. Simply put, I love it. Great decision buying it and believe me I looked at them all. If you want the larger screen but with all the options, go with the nuvi 760, otherwise, if size doesn't matter, this one does it all.
Garmin 360 July 26, 2008
Garmin Nuvi 360. Great product lives up to its' name. The GOOD: Excellent detail and bright display even in car with sunglasses on. Very good resolution, battery life is everything they tel you. Detailed maps are incredibly accurate and the unit is just the right size for take-n-go. Because the unit is so compact, there's no need to "hide" this in your car every time you get out. The leather case it comes with is the perfect size to take with you.
The BADS: volume control is cumbersome at best. you have to leave the map/screen you are viewing just to turn volume up or down. very poorly designed if you ask me. The other bad, Garmin map updates are the worst in the world to have to deal with. When I received my unit, it had 2008 maps...now 2009 maps are available. Garmin will ship you out a CD of 2009 maps for free (within 3 months of your purchase) with their 2.5 gig "reload" for a quick $10 spot. (Yes, they are making a profit off of shipping and handling after you just purchased their product) If you choose to go on line and download the file, it's 2.5 gig (~4 hour download on most cable and dsl services). All in all, I'm far more impressed with the great unit than I am frustrated with the couple of gotcha's. If I lost this unit tomorrow would I buy the same one...YES. Don't let my editorial comments about the profit off of S&H sway you away from this unit.....Again, it's an awesome buy for $224.00 If you pay less...great...It's worth every penny of what I paid for it.
Strong BUY recommendation!
Garmin Nuvi 360 review July 26, 2008
An overall well designed product that I would strongly recommend to other potential users. The module is compact, of the right size for mobility, lightweight and easy to use. It's touch screen interface is simple to use with good colour scheme and contrasts. It is worth mentioning that the GPS unit can be charged using the USB cable (that links to your computer) , a 12V car charger and also wall charger .......all of these are included in the box.
