Make Hands-Free Calls
The nüvi 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 nüvi'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 nüvi's database of more than six million points of interest -- including hotels, restaurants, stores, and attractions.

Navigation and Entertainment with Ease
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 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.

Nice Package

Like most "Tech" products these days the Users Manual could be improved. Voice quality is very good. I would like to see an Emergency Facilities (Hospital) feature added. Overall, very good device.


Excellent Toy

I did a lot of shopping, review reading and comparing. I don't have the expertise to know if the 360 is "the best", however I will say that for the modest price paid to Amazon for this item, it has exceeded my expectations in all categories. The mapping is up to date, the speed at which it functions more than keeps up with me, the blue tooth works perfectly with my blackberry. I also purchased the accessory microphone for the hands free. In looking for a new car someday in the near future I will be looking for one without a navi system just so I can continue to use this one!


Takes the worry away from all Drivers

The Garmin 360 from day-one has been a asset for me, especially since I am now a senior citizen.
The 360 has work perfectly right out of the box.
In the past I would get very uneasy when driving to a location I was not familiar with, but now I look forward to it with this unit. My wife no longer has to try and read a map for me as I drive down the highway passing my exit ramp before she could find it on the map.
This unit is great also when you are traveling by airlines, because it will fit in your pockets, carry on, or suitcases. It is very portable.
All in All my opinion of this unit is a 5 star unit.


GPS

love it! you don't have to even look at it because it can talk to you. It reminds you ahead of time of turns; very concise. Already let other family members borrow it; and they just love it, too. With the touch of a finger and it tells you were places are, with address, phone number, and of course directions. Even if you don't travel a lot; but live in a larger city - you don't have to get lost and will find every place immediately. I have not tried the blue tooth yet; but I like it that it has the memory slot. We went to Florida on vacation and it was a savior when we had a rental car, it knew exactly where we were and how to get out of the airport. Nothing was easier than to find "attractions" or "movie theaters" close by; but even when it's further away, you still can search for it with directions. As I said: just love it!


garvulous!

I actually upgraded to the 360 after receiving the 350 as a gift. both are excellent handheld gps devices, but one small feature that I think most people fail to notice about the 360 is that it offers a bluetooth connection to your cellular phone, providing most users with a hands free speaker phone and touchscreen access to their phonebook and caller id features on the nuvi. this was reason enough to upgrade, and despite is somewhat 'limited' compatability I still think worth the bump in price. I have a more obscure asia-only phone model, which is why im willing to say that compatability is only a minor flaw. my LG phone still connects, but does not offer the full features some other US models might. otherwise, money well spent in my oppinion. the vehicle navigation portion of the device is great, and has saved me 9 times out of 10, both in the car and on my motorcycle. its small enough to carry around for walking use in new cities, but was not able to find a signal when I took it to manhattan.
