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 PlN 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.

Buyer's feedback: - * Terrific Product ...
I don't know what took me so long to buy a GPS. This is the most terrific device on the planet. (OK, a slight exageration.) I read a lot of reviews for the different brands and finally settled on a Garmin. And then I had to decide on which model! For me, the 3.5 screen is sufficiently large enough. It is easy to use, although I suspect it does a lot more than I realize, as I've only had it less than a month. Having this GPS is just like having a person sitting next to me reading a map and constantly giving me directions. For people like me, with no sense of direction, this is the most wonderful device imaginable. No more wrestling with maps, or trying to figure out which way is north or east, or how far it is to my destination. And you don't have to panic if you hit an unexpected roadblock or you take a wrong turn - because it instantly recalculates your route immediately!!! I love the feature that lets you find gas stations and restaurants nearby at whatever point you are in your travel. I have tried the GPS on several trips varying from 1 1/2 to 3 hours, in preparation to a longer trip in a few weeks. I am constantly amazed at how well it works, even though there were a few glitches. For instance, it directed me to take a left hand turn on a one-way street going the wrong way! I elected to keep going straight and my garmin instantly recalculated my route, and got me to my destination go. This model has a bluetooth feature which will come in handy when I upgrade my phone. One of my friends just bought a Garmin and as she travels for a living she would have liked the Garmin that responds to speech. Also, the Nuvi 360 will allow one programmable detour which works fine for my needs. Anyone who travels alot would probably appreciate the models that allow for multiple programmable stops. If you don't have one, buy a GPS! They are amazing!

Buyer's feedback: - Garmin 360
Excellent and extremely portable device. I've used it several times on short and long trips and it works very well. The device is bright and easy to read, the speech to text is clear and precise. The bluetooth sync up with your wireless phone is a bit flaky out of the box, however it works flawlessly after you get the latest update from Garmin's website.
The POIs are extensive and I often use my Garmin to find restaurants on the weekends. All in all a great portable device I plan on using for a long time.

Buyer's feedback: - * SImple, easy to use ...
I bought the Garmin 360 GPS as the endless road map, getting sick of buying folding maps all the time. After reading several reviews, I decided this unit is right for my intended use. It is simple to operate, logical in operational setup, and most of all, fast on re-calculation of routes.
My opinion, for first time users and folks that don't want to spend a small fortune on devices of this kind, I would suggest the Garmin 360 is a very good place to start.

Buyer's feedback: - Garmin nuvi360
recently i purchased Garmin nuvi360 GPS with blue-tooth and text to speach facility and it works great.I was looking for a GPS which comes in the price range of $180 to $250 with text to speach lane by lane direction and blue-tooth and even it has MP3 player as well.
So i strongly recommend people to go for it if they want a GPS within medium price and great features.

Buyer's feedback: - * Awesome product ...
This product was worth every penny. Great deal and I love the product.
Only thing that this product could improve is in the area of picking up satellites faster when you start up the system. Other than that, this is a MUST BUY!
