Outstanding July 26, 2008 This sucker is awesome. We have the nuvi 750 in our SUV and purchased this one for our car. I like this one better than the 750. It's the perfect size, easy to use, the bluetooth works great, and the price is right. The nuvi 360, unlike the nuvi 750, allows you to turn off the "safe mode" which allows your passenger to make corrections while you are driving; this is a very nice and convienient option. Simply put, I love it. Great decision buying it and believe me I looked at them all. If you want the larger screen but with all the options, go with the nuvi 760, otherwise, if size doesn't matter, this one does it all.
Garmin 360 July 26, 2008 Garmin Nuvi 360. Great product lives up to its' name. The GOOD: Excellent detail and bright display even in car with sunglasses on. Very good resolution, battery life is everything they tel you. Detailed maps are incredibly accurate and the unit is just the right size for take-n-go. Because the unit is so compact, there's no need to "hide" this in your car every time you get out. The leather case it comes with is the perfect size to take with you. The BADS: volume control is cumbersome at best. you have to leave the map/screen you are viewing just to turn volume up or down. very poorly designed if you ask me. The other bad, Garmin map updates are the worst in the world to have to deal with. When I received my unit, it had 2008 maps...now 2009 maps are available. Garmin will ship you out a CD of 2009 maps for free (within 3 months of your purchase) with their 2.5 gig "reload" for a quick $10 spot. (Yes, they are making a profit off of shipping and handling after you just purchased their product) If you choose to go on line and download the file, it's 2.5 gig (~4 hour download on most cable and dsl services). All in all, I'm far more impressed with the great unit than I am frustrated with the couple of gotcha's. If I lost this unit tomorrow would I buy the same one...YES. Don't let my editorial comments about the profit off of S&H sway you away from this unit.....Again, it's an awesome buy for $224.00 If you pay less...great...It's worth every penny of what I paid for it. Strong BUY recommendation!
Garmin Nuvi 360 review July 26, 2008 An overall well designed product that I would strongly recommend to other potential users. The module is compact, of the right size for mobility, lightweight and easy to use. It's touch screen interface is simple to use with good colour scheme and contrasts. It is worth mentioning that the GPS unit can be charged using the USB cable (that links to your computer) , a 12V car charger and also wall charger .......all of these are included in the box.
Garmin nuvi 360 July 25, 2008 The Garmin nuvi 360 is a great product, it calls out aproaching street names,which is what I wanted. The screen is a little small but is clear and fits my needs,you really can't watch screen while driving,so its not a big deal. For the money it,s ok.
Excellent GPS device July 24, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this for a Father's Day gift but managed to play around with it some before I gave it away. If you're looking for a reasonably inexpensive NUVI, this is a great buy. You see why Garmin is pretty much regarded as the best in the biz! My only complaint was that I could never get the Bluetooth to stay in sync with either my RAZR phone or my dad's Blackberry. Each time one of the devices was turned off, you'd have to go through the whole process of re-syncing the NUVI with the phone. So basically I paid about 25-bucks extra for a feature (vs. the Nuvi 350) that might not ever be used....because my dad is not tech-savvy enough to do that over and over again. It could be we weren't doing something quite right and troubleshooting the issue could have solved it. But I was hoping it would just work, which was not the case.
All the other features are great....so I might just be buying the Nuvi 350 for myself, and then stick with an earpiece bluetooth device, which you can pick up pretty inexpensively now.
