Garmin - Nuvi 360 Reviews

• It has helped me get out of an area that I was unfamiliar with;
• it has helped me find stores closest to my current location;
• with the traffic receiver, I was able to bypass traffic and get to my location quickly.
• it gets me to my locations quickly, especially if I have to take detours

Previous to this, I had the Nuvi 350, which is also an excellent device. Since the function is identical in nearly every regard to the 350, there is little point in covering the basics in much depth, but it's worth re-stating some of them. I will go into great detail on the Bluetooth functionality below.

This is such a handy device, and is so well executed, that you would be hard-pressed not to love it. The first thing I noticed about the Nuvi was its incredibly small size and weight. I could not believe how light it was. I literally expected it to have at least twice the heft when I went to pick...

Garmin brand has been around for many years, and I have never had an issue with any of the models I have owned.  What many people don't think about is the safety that a Garmin unit  can provide. This Particular device can actually give you your latitude and longitude location so even if you are stuck way out in the middle of no where you can give exact pinpointed directions to emergency personnel to be able to find you. 

Another great feature is the ability to remove it from it's mount in the vehicle take it inside and pre program all the places you wish to go in advance so your not worried...

I love the idea of new technology but must admit that I'm not very good at figuring out complex products. So I am so grateful to the folks at Garmin for making such an easy-to-use GPS.  The touch screen on this GPS is fast and uncomplicated. Store your favorite addresses....like your home address....by touching the screen to get to "favorites". Easily enter your address (or addresses) by touching the screen to bring up the number and alphabet screens and spell out what you want to store in favorite places.  Then from anywhere you are, ask the GPS (via touching the screen again) to get you back...

Pros: Routing seems accurate, size is great, very portable, nice looking maps and routes, POIs I have searched for are available, is fully charged right out of the box! That's a first for me.

Cons: Having a few quirks with bluetooth, a lot of features I'll probably never use, expensive

Summary: For everyone who is asking, they are available at some retailers now. Just do a little searching and you'll find it. And, if nothing else, you can get it on eBay too.

I've had mine for a week and this is the first GPS unit I have ever owned or used, so I may not be as insightful as others could be. I did...

I purchased this Garmin Nuvi 360 in November 2008 so that my husband and I would have no problems finding the condo we had rented for our family 2008 Christmas vacation.  My husband had no problems using the GPS.  All he had to do was enter the address(es) of our vacation condo or any other location we wanted to go.  The voice prompt is loud enough to hear over music.  The screen size is small measuring approximately 3.5", but you can easily view the 2-D or 3-D maps.  The touchscreen and point of interest lookup are really good features.  There are several other features that we have not...
