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 I LOVE my Garmin Nuvi 360!!!!   August 6, 2008
I LOVE MY GARMIN NUVI 360!!!! From the moment I opened it the Nuvi has been my constant companion.

It has saved me considerable gas as it finds either the fastest or shortest way for me to get wherever I'm going. When you're set in your ways about a particular route you could be wasting gas (which I was doing almost daily) and with gas prices being what they are anything that'll save gas consumption is ok with me. Every day has been an adventure with my Nuvi.

I took a 300+ mile road trip with complete confidence that it would get me there, around the area and back. The friend I took with me doesn't normally drive and used the Nuvi for the first time with no problems. The screen is easy to see both in daylight and at night. At dusk it automatically goes to the night setting. That is SO cool.

I live in NY so talking on the phone is a no-no. The Bluetooth feature makes it easy for me to talk, answer a call or make a call. I like loud music so the Nuvi makes it easy for me to see my incoming calls. I do plan to upgrade eventually to a Nuvi model that can go through my car radio. I'm gonna have to upgrade my radio too at that point (smile).

I love the fact that I can search for a restaurant based on what I feel like having: American, BBQ, Spanish, French, and Italian etc...or search for shopping locations, movie theatre locations or SO much more.

It is easy to set up and take down. I attach it to my windshield using the suction cup so it is easy for me to see and to input info. The only thing missing for me is the ability to change the ABC keyboard to QWERTY but that alone isn't enough to diminish my rating.

I have not yet tapped all of the potential of this Nuvi and I look forward to trying.

I will say again that I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Garmin Nuvi 360!!!!



3 out of 5 stars It's OK. But has a big problem.   August 5, 2008
I had a garmin C320 for one year, I was very satisfied with it except poor reception sometimes.

Then I got the NUVI360 and hoped it would exceed the old C320. Unfortunately it let me down. It is still good at routing, operation etc. However, it had a big problem in giving directions on local roads. All the following descriptions are about local roads since it works good on high way. Sometimes, it does not give direction when you are 0.2 mils (or so) away from the next turn and only speaks direction when you are 200 feet (or so) away from the next turn, which makes it difficult for me to make the turn. But my old C320 CONSISTENTLY gives you directions twice, one is when you are 0.2 miles (or so) away and the other is when you are about to need to turn. The only exception is if two turns are very close, C320 will give you the next two turns at the same time, which makes sense.

I do not understand why NUVI 360 behaves randomly in this sense. Sometimes it gives you directions twice, sometimes it keeps silent and just speaks when you are only 200 feet away. After using a month, I still can not figure out when it will gives you direction twice, when it will gives you only once. This makes no sense to me at all and I keep missing turns when I using this unit, which rarely happens when I use my old Garmin C320.

And I need to mention, I tried to use the voice without tts, then it behaves exactly like my old C320, and consistently gives you direction twice. So I am guessing the voice with tts makes this difference, which I think needs to be fixed IMO.



5 out of 5 stars Fantastic product...leads me all the way.   August 5, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

So after quite a bit of research I bought the Nuvi 360 as a birthday gift to myself...my wife says I'm too picky for her to chose a GPS for me (she knows me pretty well). No disappointments here!
Got it fast, just in time for our summer vacation trip to east Tennessee. It took us straight to the cabin on the lake, and was accurate both in directions and time of arrival. It's amusing how the voice sounds agitated when it says "recalculating" as you make a different turn than directed (we pulled off at an exit to do some shopping before continuing on our way). But once on our way again it was right on track. I've tested it a couple of times and found a couple of small glitches in my hometown (population 13,000). One was a dead-end street the Nuvi thought continued to another street a block away. No big deal...as far as I'm concerned that's to be expected. They can't know everything. Got to test out the "Detour" function with all the highway construction in Knoxville. The Nuvi found the next closest route and moved us right back on track.
The bluetooth connection is good. Linked it to my wife's Samsung cell phone and pulled her address book right up on the screen. Call connections are typically no worse than normal cell service although there can be some distortion at higher volume levels (it's not a hi-fi system so don't expect it to be). Got an SD card and put a ton of mp3's on it so my wife and I can listen to "our" music while the kids watch a DVD on the minivan's system. Again, not a hi-fi system so don't expect fantastic sound from its single speaker, but it is clear and loud enough for the kids to gripe at us to turn it down so they can hear their movie.
All the connections and attachments you need are there so you can use it right out of the box, and there are also a lot of great free downloads even the kids think are cool, like different vehicles to choose from. To keep them from arguing I had to let the kids take turns choosing whether we would be the eagle or the fire truck or the stock car on each trip. Overall a great purchase I would highly recommend.



5 out of 5 stars super product   August 4, 2008
This is a super GPS unit . It has every thing that you could want and more.We use this Garmin when we travel both in cars and on foot with confidence in getting where we want to go in the best way.Its bluetooth capabilities put it over the top for a great GPS unit.


5 out of 5 stars Great functionality for the price!   August 4, 2008
This product was just what we wanted and at the best price around. We tried out the bluetooth function and was able to talk to friends like it was a speakerphone. The only downfall to the bluetooth was the text messages, they didn't come over on the GPS like we felt it should. It is great how you can customize the GPS to have the voice you enjoy hearing and the car/truck/motorcycle you prefer to display. Directions are up to date and has gotten my husband exactly where he needed to go several times already.

I would suggest this product to anyone and will likely buy another one for my parents for Christmas!
