The device sports a handy MP3 player, letting you play songs stored on SD memory cards.
Make Hands-Free Calls
The nuevi 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 nuevi'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 nuevi's database of more than six million points of interest -- including hotels, restaurants, stores, and attractions.

Navigation and Entertainment with Ease
For starters, the nuevi 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 nuevi 350, the nuevi 360 also includes many entertainment and travel tools including an MP3 player, audio book player, JPEG picture viewer, travel alarm, and currency converters.

The nuevi 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 nuevi 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.

5 out of 5 stars Nuvi does the trick for a GPS newbie   December 3, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

You can see all of the extensive, hyperdetailed reviews. I won't write another one of those.

What I will say is that I received my Nuvi 360 yesterday, and I love it already. The design is excellent and the UI is terrific, even (especially?) for someone like yours truly who has very little patience for user manuals.

My initial hesitation about buying a GPS unit was something along the lines of "I know where I'm going around here. And I have a road atlas when I don't." What I wasn't anticipating was how much my love of maps and topology and points of interest in the world around me would be fed by a GPS unit. I have always loved staring at maps and following roads and learning names of mountains, parks, wilderness areas, and so on. My grandfather apparently had the same fascination. For example, I have driven by one particular section of Seattle hundreds if not thousands of times. I had no idea that little neighborhood/area was named. Was knowing the name crucial to my ability to get around? Nope. Is it interesting nonetheless to know the name? Absolutely.

I can also see how the Nuvi will make me more likely to strike out into the countryside, exploring new areas that aren't well documented on even the Thomas Guide. Hooray!

I will add that my nine-year-old daughter is positively enamored with the Nuvi already. She's selecting the vehicle to use, changing its colors, looking at the splash screen choices, fascinated by being able to tell the direction our car is pointed at any given moment, and so on. We've been discussing how the Nuvi works in relation to satellites, what satellites are, and so on. A great teaching tool and excellent for those who are visually oriented!

I'm not one to order one of every gadget released. However, I will say that this will most likely end up on a list one day of my best technology purchases ever. It's practical, fun, portable, affordable, and tremendously useful.



3 out of 5 stars "Upgraded" from the 350   December 2, 2008
Upgraded from the 350 to the 360 solely for the BT functionality in June 2008. Sorry to say the BT did not work well and many times I'd switch off the BT because the speaker would distort and or there were frequent drop outs. In addition I have trouble hearing the directions with the window open or even the stereo on at a low volume. My speaker isn't loud enough for directions, but distorts when all the way up during a BT call. I have the 360 mounted to the top of my dash. I've used the 360 with a Sony W300i phone and a BB curve. Same issues with both. Callers had a lot of difficulty understanding me. I also noticed subsequent to the latest firm/software upgrade that the unit is slower and not as accurate. In retrospect I should have stayed with the 350. The BT call quality was so poor that I ended up buying a new BT stereo with separate mic. Should have stayed with the 350.


5 out of 5 stars Why was the 360 discontinued?   December 1, 2008
I just bought the Nuvi 360 for $3 more than the 260 on Amazon. With the addition of bluetooth handsfree and MP3 support, it was a no brainer. My question is why was this model discontinued, and not the 260? Does anyone know?



2 out of 5 stars High price of upgrades   December 1, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

First, when I went to the Garmin website to check for upgrade, it said that I had to register to see if I was eligible for a free upgrade. So I registered and guess what, I wasn't eligible for any free upgrades. It seems to me, little more than a trick to get people to register.

Second, the high price of upgrades. After paying $170, I now find out that I have to pay another $70 to upgrade the maps. They are charging me for the same information that Google gives away for free.

If I had realized the high price to to keep the Garmin current, I would have done more research and possibly made a different purchase,



5 out of 5 stars garmin nuvi 360   November 29, 2008
Great value for the price. I needed text-to-speech so I would not have to take my eyes off the road. This gps works great. I only wish that the volume could be made to go louder than it does as I don't think it can be heard clearly over the car radio.
