Editorial Review:

The Garmin nüvi 360 GPS Navigator and Personal Travel Assistant is a GPS navigator, personal translator, multi-media entertainer and tour guide all wrapped into one. In addition to all the advanced features of the Garmin nüvi 350 -- including automatic routing, turn-by-turn voice directions, an MP3 player and audio book player, JPEG picture viewer, and much more -- this pocket-sized personal travel assistant comes with hands-free Bluetooth wireless technology, making it the hands-down go-anywhere travel companion.

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.
What's in the Box

Customer Reviews:

Avg. Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0

EXCELLENT GARMIN:

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT, I GAVE IT TO MY DAUGHTER FOR CHRISTMAS AND SHE JUST LOVES IT, WELL, LETS BE HONEST, SHE SENT THE LINK TO ME SO I WOULD KNOW SHE WANTED IT BUT THATS ALRIGHT, SHE JUST LOVES IT, SHE WON'T LET ANYONE ELSE USE IT. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

TEXT to SPEECH????:

I was under the impression that "Text to Speech" meant that the item would tell the NAME of the street (ex. "turn right onto Main St. in 2 miles"). I was VERY dissappionted that the unit does not do this... I could have purchased the same type of unit much cheaper if I had known.

Are you lost?:

I really have been pleased with this product. The only drawback is due to it being a portable, its reception on overcast days is limited.

Fun Toy - Does What I Need it To:

This nuvi (360) is exactly what I needed. It's small and portable, and it gets me where I am going. I like the extras (e.g. music and pictures), but they're not essential. I did pick this one and pay a bit extra for the bluetooth feature, and I have already found that useful, when I'm driving. The only thing it's missing is the traffic capability. I would definitely recommend this GPS.
