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.

4 out of 5 stars Garmin Nuvi 360   August 29, 2008
Great product, I had a Nuvi 350 before and it had issues. It was stolen so I replaced with this one, the 360. Much better and much faster at locating satellites. Also not as many issues with the keyboard. I would highly recommend this to anyone that travels often.


5 out of 5 stars good to go   August 29, 2008
it is small and easy to use. signal is always good no matter that you are under the gorge or on the top of the mountain


4 out of 5 stars Garmin 360 nuvi GPS unit   August 29, 2008
I purchase my Garmin 360 nuvi a few weeks ago and I took a trip to a small place in the mountains of Tennessee. I was surprised to witness all of the short cuts that I took and ended up at the address that I had selected. I have had the unit to come loose from the windshield a couple of times and luckly it did not break. I have since order a mount that sets on the dash. I have been very pleased with it's performance. I looked a some other units that were older models but feel that I made the best choice.


5 out of 5 stars An Absolute Must Have   August 28, 2008
I am not usually into toys, but I have forever taking off for a destination without really knowing where I'm going. I borrowed my son's Garmin for a trip and just loved it. (I had previously purchased the Street Pilot which I found too bulky). This model is easy to walk around. I find the directions good 80% of time. I wish they would give you option to take route with mostly freeways or surface streets, They do allow detours so you can change the route. I love the bluetooth capability that pairs with my iPhone...no need for handsfree device, and the microphone has excellent volume (easy to hear as a receiver and sender). I also really love I can find restaurants in the area as well as other pertinent sites. I got a case, and 2 chargers (AC/DC outlet and auto), and dashboard mounting paraphrenalia with the device. This is a great GPS.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent product   August 27, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

It is an excellent product. There is no need to buy expensive nuvi 760, it serves the purpose for going from point A to B. Screen is bright and big enough. I dont think one should be paying premium cost for big screen. Voice is loud and clear there is no need to sync with FM radio. It also has detour option for adding stop just as nuvi 760. Bluetooth is excellent.

Only thing I didnt like is that Garmin didnt supply proper attachment for dashboard. One has to stick the plate on dashboard.

I am happy with the product.
