The device sports a handy MP3 player, letting you play songs stored on SD memory cards.
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 sleek, user-friendly, great deal!   May 16, 2008
Have had it for about a month. Easy to use with the finger tap-activated menu, very portable and sleek-looking, and clear turn-by-turn direction with street names. Good sized screen. Haven't tried Bluetooth function yet so can't review. But so far, happy with the purchase. Arrived in perfect mint condition. Got it for a great deal from Beach Camera at $226.


4 out of 5 stars Great device!   May 15, 2008
Received this as a gift and it works great! We used it on a recent family trip to Florida - loved the bluetooth capabilities...we used it to find our resturant of choice and call ahead for seating! Screen is easy to read and the system is easy for anyone to use. Love it.


4 out of 5 stars Cool interface, handy device!   May 14, 2008
VERY easy to use - this is my new favorite gadget! The bluetooth / speakers are a bit weak, as some reviewers have mentioned, hence the 4 stars.

But, overall, the interface is great and intuitive and the size is just right. The windshield mount is great, worked well enough for me, so no need to buy any additional accessories.

Good stuff!



5 out of 5 stars Great unit. Great Price   May 14, 2008
This is my third Garmin purchase. I had purchased 2 nuvi 350. One for myself and a second for my daughter. Now a Nuvi 360 for my son. These units are outstanding. I would have purchased a third 350, but at the time Amazon was offering the 360 for less than the 350 and it had more features.
Bluetooth being the main difference between the models. The most important feature these units offer is the ability to speak street names. This allows the driver to keep eyes up on the road looking for street signs instead of trying to see a map. Do not let the small screen fool you. There is really no need for the larger screen as mentioned above your eyes should be on the road. I find the smaller unit a plus, given the increase in smash and grab attacks on GPS units, this unit fits easily into you pocket or a ladies purse. The small size also allows for easy mounting in place other than your front windshield. In all 3 of our cars the units are mounted down in the floor console using included disk and still receive a great signal with accuracy in the 12ft range. This makes concealing the units easier. The small size and long battery life also make it a good portable unit when walking in a city(set to "walking" to get shortest route).
Set up is easy and there are more than enough POI. The POI often include phone numbers, which when traveling is a great feature.
Like anything there are a few things that could be better. Saved locations now appear in list based on your location with saved location nearest to furthest. It would be nice to be able to sort by other ways (i.e.: alphabetical). The suction cup mount does not hold up well if you leave it on your windshield. 2 days in the summer and it was melted to the glass, another reason to consider a different mounting location.
Map updates are reasonable, especially when compared to the built in unit from car makers. Firmware/software upgrades are fast and easy on Garmin's web site.
All in all I think this unit offers everything you will need. The price is great on Amazon. My first unit was $500 and the last was half that.



5 out of 5 stars Good GPS....I will deem it as smart investment   May 13, 2008
I recieved my GPS from Amazon Today. Used it little bit to try it....and I am luving it..this is the first time I used bluetooth handsfree calling...it was crystal clear....and GPS directions are good so far....I will say it is one of the best models in market based on my 1 day experience and my friends feedback who have used this one for few months.
