Not that great if you are not familiar with the roads. 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...

Bad out of the box 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.

Excellent acquisition 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 ...

Fairly Nice Garmin Unit 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.

Garmin Nuvi 360 I've only used it a couple of times so far, but it's pretty great! one of my first trips trying it out, (just a local drive that I already knew), I screwed up the address I typed in, but it was amazing how many times it tried to correct me when I missed turns that would've brought me to the address I actually typed in. That's good to know for the future.
only 4 stars, since I haven't had a chance to use it more :)

Exceptional Quality & Value 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...

Good Product As a cab driver its not that great as it will choose streets that take longer to travel and not the back streets as I believe it should since it has a "Taxi" option. Dont bother with the blue tooth, the speaker is so small its to hard to hear from both sides of the conversation. I still give this a 4 star rating as it has saved me a ton of time looking on maps for streets im not familiar with. I recommend getting one with out the bluetooth and mp3 or picture viewer get the basic and the Garmin N...

slow response, good when it works slow response time and very slow to catch sattellites, sometimes very furstrating. when it does, it works great.

Good, but missing a lot of new roads I love having this, but in our area there is a lot of new developement and we have found that it does not recognize a lot of newer streets. I didn't think this would be a big deal, but there have been several times that we had to go back to Mapquest to look something up because our unit didn't acknowledge it. Otherwise it has been a life saver. I LOVE the fact that it announces street names instead of the "turn left in 200 ft" that older models say. With a car full of kids, I need to know e...

Worth the hype and every penny !!! I recently bought the Nuvi 360 and have been using it for about a week, so far the Nuvi has been great. It is quick to catch onto satellites and the best part of it, if you happen to change your route or miss the turn, it recalculates a new route so fast that you will have time to make the next turn. The best part of it all, Garmin gave me a free update to the 2009 map software when you register online. It is 2Gb to download, so I guess you can pay an extra $7 to get it shipped by DVD.

Useful Tool The Nuvi 360 has been great in guiding me to my destinations. I bought a 260 for my boyfriend earlier this year and he really liked it. Of course now that he's seen mine, he wants mine. I decided that with all my traveling to get one for myself and the 360 was going for less than what I paid for the 260 earlier this year. Oh well... The ability to take the GPS with me has been a plus. I can program the addresses into the unit before I go and it's ready to use when I arrive. I found the Nuv...

Love my nuvi 360! So this is very easy to use, user friendly, and very reliable. It's packed with features like the mp3 player, audiobook player, bluetooth functionality, etc. You can download different types of vehicles to be reflected on your screen. You can choose the voice dialect,in terms of someone from a different country, whether they're male or female, etc....I use this around town and take it with me on out of town trips as well. It's the best. I can find where I need to go without needing maps, cal...

Garmin 360 We purchased this product for a road trip vacation. I fell in love with it immediately. I used it around town before we left to get used to the controls. Although the routes were sometimes different than what I normally take, they were accurate. When we took a short trip to Florida and wanted to find a buffet, I just pressed food in my Garmin and it gave me a list of all restaurants nearby!. Also comes in handy when trying to find fuel. With todays fuel prices, I like to have choices as to where...

Invaluable traveling companion The Garmin Nuvi 360 was invaluable to us when we traveled to Canada, especially with the French street names in Montreal and Quebec City. User friendly, just play around with it to learn its features. BE sure Jill talks to you and tells you the street names (not just "turn left"). This feature is not on the less expensive models and definitely worth the extra money for the Nuvi 360. We bought it new on Amazon and the box included all the accessories - dashmount, UBS cable, car charger, wall ...

one of the best Garmin products, BUT i gave the Garmin Nuvi 360 2 stars to capture your attention, i think this gadget deserves above 5 stars. its great and reliable and maps are rich with info. only 2 problems. if you have big hands and fingers then don't buy this item cuz the screen is small and you will end up zooming in and out just to make sure you save locations right. The other thing is, most devices when specifying "support SD" thy sometimes support MMC cards too, but not the garmin.
other than that GOO...

GPS with Cool Features In-built blue tooth works very good. GPS is pretty accurate, used it to drive from NJ to Atlanta, GA, did not hiccup once. Announces street names and the charge holds pretty good. The only con i found is the the connector that charges GPS is bit awkward, you would need to remove the GPS from the windshield before you can connect. Overall i am happy with the purchase.

Not as Good as the StreetPilot Let me start off by saying I bought this after a Bad experience with the TomTom 720 (That review floats around here elsewhere) I own a Street Pilot C330 Garmin which has been Great and in fact I just recently upgraded the maps for it.
I bought this to upgrade from the C330 for work. My job requires travelling throughout the State, So a GPS is almost a necessity or at least it beats reading maps.
I wanted this mainly for the Bluetooth phone connection. Personally I'm the...

Best friend in travelling..... Very nice little gadget and great price at the Amazon. I wanted to make sure at least all north American maps are in the system since we do take vacations to Canada. Pre-installed map was 2006 inversion so it took several hours for my computer to upload and install 2009 version which was free of charge. It was just long and tedious process to register online and upload, however simple. Anyways, with its new map, everything seeems very accurate. And love the points of interest function. I d...

Easy to use and practical We visited someone's house on a hill in the night for the first time. It could be hard to get there and return. It was hard to see anything in the dark. Totally depended on the GPS unit, the trip was an easy one.

even better than I hoped this garmin is SO easy to use. you've GOT to remember to put out the antenna though--otherwise it's not helpful at all. it has lots of search functions and gives great directions. I especially like the restaurant feature.
we found that the voices other than the "american" ones seem to be a little softer, so having an australian garmin wasn't possible. :( the bluetooth feature is excellent and it's compact enough to fit in your pocket which is nice, too. overall, we really like it...

2 stars as i am not AS lost anymore this unit is expensive and does not deliver as i expected. i am unsure as to why it takes FOREVER to find satellite reception, and this really impacts on its usefulness. maybe it is because i live in NYC?? as far as updating it. i have used to computers- mac and PC platform, connected to the garmin website and no luck. this was VERY frustrating. so overall, not a good purchase, and definitely at risk for finding a new home on the side of the highway one day.

First Thoughts... I have used this product for just a little more than two days, however I wanted to share a couple of pieces of information I thought would be helpful.
- This device is extremely easy to use and well designed. I am very impressed so far.
- The nuvi 360 linked up to my iphone via bluetooth with no problems. It uploaded my contact list to the nuvi, and the voice quality is excellent, with plenty of volume. This feature works MUCH better than I anticipated.

The Garmin Nuvi 360 is awesome!!!! We recently took a trip to Los Angeles and rented a car. We've used the one's that are available in the rental cars in the past, but found them too difficult to use. The Garmin Nuvi 360 is easy to learn and got us around the city perfectly!! The directions are clear and the voice quality is easy to understand. Its portability is a big plus. I also recommend purchasing the bean bag that is designed specifically for this model. It's a bit heavy to tote, but keeps it in place on the dashboard of an...
