The device sports a handy MP3 player, letting you play songs stored on SD memory cards.
Make Hands-Free Calls
The nüvi 360 integrates wireless technology with a microphone and speaker that lets you make hands-free mobile phone calls using your compatible Bluetooth-enabled phone. Simply dial numbers with the nüvi's touch screen keypad to place a call, and to answer calls, just tap the screen and speak directly into its built-in microphone.

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.

What's in the Box
Gamin nüvi 360, Preloaded City Navigator NT North America or Europe (full coverage), vehicle suction cup mount, AC charger, 12/24 volt adapter cable, dashboard disk, USB interface cable, carrying case, owner's manual, and quick reference guide.

1 out of 5 stars Bad out of the box   July 3, 2008
We researched these very closely before deciding on the Garmin 360.

We were majorly disappointed. Ours not only didn't hold the bluetooth connection, it failed at the basics. We contacted Garmin. After nearly an hour on hold we were told trying downloading an update for the firmware, another for the bluetooth function, and yet another for the map. Overall we spent over 4 hours on-line with the updates. The map alone took over 2 hours even though we have a high-speed connection.

The unit then started to work - sort of. We took it on a trip to Washington DC. There it often took 15 minutes or longer to find satellites. We tried using it to find restaurants. It's updated map took us to an office building instead. Later we tried to use it to find a Walmart that was in Alexandria VA. There we found another office building where the Walmart was supposed to be.

The bluetooth problem got worse, connecting then disconnecting every few seconds. We gave up and turned it off.

We tried it around our home town and it often would tell us to turn right verbally when the map showed a left turn. Basically the unit we got was defective, at least we hope it's our particular unit and not typical of their product. We contacted Garmin again and arranged for a replacement. That took a couple of days.

When we contacted customer service via email it asked us for the same information we had already provided in their on-line form in order to get a return authorization. We then had to send the bad one back at our own expense.

It's bad enough when the quality control is not the best, but if you are unfortunate enough to get a lemon, don't expect too much in the way of customer service. We dealt with two agents. One honestly seemed to want to help. The other seemed to do everything in her power to slow the process down.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent acquisition   July 3, 2008
This GPS is the best. I had a JVC and it loses the signal very often, specially in big cities like Chicago. This Garmin is great. The bluetooth connection to use with my bluetooth-enable phone makes things easier, because I can answer to the calls without touch the phone and looking away from the road. My only really minor complaint is about the sound volume that it is somehow low. Driving with the windows open, you can hear the turn-by-turn directions as a wisper, but nothing that will make me change my mind. It is a great product ! And specially because I found an excellent deal at Amazon.com.
Definetly I recomended it !



4 out of 5 stars Not that great if you are not familiar with the roads.   July 3, 2008
I'm new to the country and I bought a garmin (out of all the reviews I read) and it's not that all that's cracked up to be. Yes the computation may give you the best route, the best time, etc. However, during use it's not that helpful in some parts. When I have to exit to the right and then stay on the left lane after 200 ft and then switch to another lane, it only gives me the instruction "turn right on ramp" then when the road splits after a few feet it will suddenly say "stay on left and keep left" and by that time, I'm already on the wrong lane. For a fair review, yes it's good. But for someone like me who's not even familiar with any of the roads here, I would get a tomtom. A tomtom system would definitely guide you and tell you to keep left or keep right way ahead of time. My co-worker had a tomtom and it was good as well telling us ahead of time on which lane to stay on.


5 out of 5 stars Exceptional Quality & Value   July 2, 2008
We bought this item as complete novices before beginning vacation. It was always stressful before having to worry about one of us navigating during long driving trips. This time, it was a breeze. I love the fact that this model gives actual street and exit names not just numbers or turn in X-amount of feet/yards. The voice option is clear. For those who need visual, the screen is very clear and it is easy to pinpoint where you are at any given time. I was surprised by how much we relied on the "arrival time" and how long the trip took. It even gave us average speed, highest speed, and various other trip information. It did everything we wanted it to do. It wasn't complicated to use or to set-up. It was easy to get started. We were using it within minutes. It goes everywhere with us now. We couldn't be happier with it. The POI's are extensive, though, some are dated. Do check before you make a long trek to a specific restaurant or retail establishment just to make sure it hasn't closed. Otherwise, it is very concise and gets you where you need to go. I'm sure we haven't used all the features yet, but will over time. For the money, this is an excellent quality product, and I would highly recommend it to anyone.


5 out of 5 stars Fairly Nice Garmin Unit   July 2, 2008
This thing has most or all of the main GPS features you could want. The bluetooth speakerphone is excellent as well. I would say the only con is the actual size of the screen (it is pretty small). Overall, five star review.
