In addition, you can easily look-up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or from your phone's call history log. Don't know the phone number for your destination? Simply find and dial it from nüvi's database of more than six million points of interest -- including hotels, restaurants, stores, and attractions.

Navigation and Entertainment with Ease
For starters, the nüvi 360 includes a high-sensitivity integrated GPS receiver that offers exceptional performance and reception. The unit's flip-up antenna includes an MCX-type connector for optional external GPS antenna connection. Preloaded software features maps of Europe or North America, and it includes automatic routing, 2D or 3D map perspective, turn-by-turn voice directions that speak street names, and a fingertip touch screen interface -- making navigation as easy as it gets.

But navigation is just the beginning. Like the nüvi 350, the nüvi 360 also includes many entertainment and travel tools including an MP3 player, audio book player, JPEG picture viewer, travel alarm, and currency converters.

The nüvi 360 features a bright, 2.8 x 2.1-inch TFT display with white backlight for easy readability. At 3.87 x 2.91 x 0.87-inches (WxHxD) and just 5.1 ounces, the unit is small enough to be placed on the dashboard with the included suction mount, or into your pocket for easy transportability. The unit also features Garmin Lock -- an advanced anti-theft feature that disables the unit from performing any functions until you type in a specific four-digit PIN or take the unit to a predetermined location. A built-in lithium ion battery will give you up to eight hours of power, and an included 12/24 volt adapter cable will let you run the navigator off your vehicle's power. An AC battery charger is also included.

A built-in Travel Kit that includes sample MP3s and audio books will get you started with entertainment, and with the unit's SD memory card expansion slot you can add optional software, such as language and travel guides. A USB port is also included for loading and updating data.

happy with this nuvi 2008-04-28
aside from being user friendly, the main thing i was looking for when purchasing a gps was the "street names" capability. very helpful instead of the "turn right then keep left" old systems which was very confusing.
the bluetooth capability is also very useful when you really need to use the phone hands-free.


Garmin Nuvi 360 2008-04-28
I love this item. I travel a lot with my job and this is so helpful and easy to use. I can find my hotel from the airport with no problem and even provides me with places to eat. I recommended this item to a co-worker who travels also.


First GPS and love it! 2008-04-28
This is my first GPS and I must say it was very easy to use. I did read the online manual, as that is what I always do. :) I cannot compare it to any others, but after reading many reviews and finding it for a great price on Amazon, I decided to give it a try. We couldn't be happier!! We feel like we made a very good choice. The screen is bright and easy to read. I like the size. We had considered the nuvi 650 an 660 because of the larger screen. We decided against it because we felt it would be too large to carry if we wanted to bring it with us in our purse or pocket. We have found that we don't really look at the maps on the screen. We just listen to the voice commands. Using it in this way, we do not need the larger screen.

The interface is very easy to use. We like that you don't have to wait until the unit announces the next direction. Simply touch the bottom right corner of the screen and you will hear the directions for your next turn. I like that I can know well ahead of time if I need to be on the right or left. If you don't touch the bottom right corner, the unit will announce the direction about a mile to a half mile away. In heavy traffic, that could be a little late. The main reason I was looking at this model was because it announces street names. We like knowing that we are interpretting the unit's directions correctly.

The satellite reception is amazing. You can keep it on the car seat next to you or on the console and it still works. I was told it would need to be on the dashboard to get satelite reception. It even works in my house at night. I was a few feet away from a window and it still worked well.

One thing I wish I had the ability to do was alphabetize "My Favorites." It lists your favorites by proximity to where you currently are. I would just like to be able to toggle to alphabetical order. I would also like a keyboard that was a QWERTY keyboard, or again, at least the ability to toggle to one. If it exists, I haven't figured out how to do it.

We recently used our nuvi 360 on a roadtrip out East and the unit performed flawlessly. We were pleased on our way home that it recognized that you could not turn left on a particular main road. It directed us correctly.

I have also found Garmin Customer Support to be excellent. I have emailed them on several occasions. The website says to expect an answer in three days. I have always heard back within 24 hours.

I have nothing to compare this unit to, but I must say that after reading about them for 6 months I feel we made a great choice.


Best of Breed, but... 2008-04-28
I am just a couple of weeks into owning my Nuvi and I haven't really bonded with it yet, or tried all of the features (like the bluetooth) but I do have a few words.

First off, I am convinced that the Nuvi is the best choice among the current crop of GPS navigator devices. In my two major trips with the device it has served me well.

The unit is well constructed, nicely designed, and the software is very well thought out, especially in the critical area of being useable with minimal brain and visual attention while driving.

I am happy with my choice to go for the 3.5 inch screen over one of the wide-screen variants. I fly to a destination and then use my Nuvi for the 'last 50 miles' car part of my trip; the smaller size means it is easier to pack and carry.

I also like the accessories you get with it (GREAT windshield mount and very adequate case). Overall it has the feeling of a real quality device.

The two small gripes I have seem to be true of most of the current crop of GPS navigator devices:

1. Streets often have many names and the one it chooses (and can search on) may not make any sense to you. For example, US Highway 1 in Princeton NJ is known to ost humans in the area and on the web as US Highway 1. To search for an address on that road in the Nuvi you must also know the name Brunswick Pike. Or, another example; near my house in Minneapolis one of the major streets is called Hennepin Avenue. That is the only name anyone ever calls it. When the Nuvi speaks its name it is County Road 20.

2. This is a special purpose GPS device, not a general purpose GPS device. I have a MUCH older Garmin that is a general purpose GPS and I miss some of those features on the Nuvi. One small example; the Nuvi can't save a track log as far as I can tell. It's also not very good if you want to use it for hiking.
