 could`nt be better Jul 08, 2008
every thing that i expeced it to be the garmin nuvi 360 is to me the best on the market.
Garmin Nuvi 360 Jul 08, 2008
I recently ordered this GPS system for my daughter as she has moved to a new city--Washington DC, and it has proven to be one of the best things I could have given to her. It's an excellent product, of course--well made, durable and accurate. The screen images are sharp and easy to see, even when driving.
What really impressed me are the various modes that you can use, like the walking mode. There is also an "off trail" mode. The walking mode came in very handy and was helpful for negotiating DC by foot, which can be quite confusing and can be hard to negotiate for a person new to the area. The pocket sized Nuvi gives great directions onscreen, and with an earbud you can hear them, also. I highly recommend this handy device.
The only thing that confused her briefly was that the antenna had to be raised for it to work, probably because the Garmin GPS that we have doesn't have that feature. She couldn't figure out why the Garmin was insisting that she was in Kansas City...
I also was impressed with the speedy delivery we got for the Nuvi from Amazon. I ordered it with my account, but had it sent to Washington DC with absolutely no problem.
Excellent GPS with Bluetooth capabilities Jul 08, 2008
I would definitely buy again.
Excellent graphics...remarkable accuracy...Bluetooth is easy to set up and use....form factor looks good against instrument panel.
Happy With Garmin Nuvi 360 Jul 08, 2008
like the size and ease of the gps. the battery life could be a bit longer and the maps could be a bit more up to date. gps sometimes sends me TO a location one way and returning FROM same location another ... still learning the ins and outs of it. :)) the blue tooth is nice on the phone on my end but the other person says not so good, but then it's all about me!! LOL
 A must have GPS Jul 07, 2008
I bought this unit for the added feature of the bluetooth. I read the prior reviews and decided if most phones have worked so far mine should work too. My Sanyo Katana linked up quick with no reading from the manual. But not all of the features are available (text messaging). But I do like the fact it pulled my address book into the unit, so when I am at a stop, I can bring up the address book and select the number. So my phone can stay in my pocket the entire time. There is a safety on the phone that will not let you pull up the address book while driving. I was going to disable but then I noticed I wasn't paying attention to the road. So at the next stop, I tried it again and the unit let me pull up the address book.
Sound quality is good. But I have a noisy truck and have to turn the volume all the way up. I did connect it to the aux jack on the stereo and it works great. Or you can just put in a set of head phones and even greater clarity. In a car you may not have this issue.
Now the GPS unit. It is not my 1st unit. This is the fastest on I have seen. Probably because it is the newest. Maps look clear and great. Street names are clear and understandable. I like if you are just cruising with the map on that as you drive faster the map zooms out and as you slow or come to a stop the map zooms in. All done automatically. Great feature.
Fault. Why did I give it a 4 instead of a 5. My wife says she hears herself in an echo over the blue tooth. Others have not repeated this and I am under the impression it is my wife's phone. I have an audible account for my books, and during a recent call I assumed the book would pause while I was on the call. it did not and as with all audible books, rewinding is a pain in the butt.
Finally, what I would like to see added is a trip save feature. Thus when you make trips on back roads that you know are quicker due to traffic, trains, tolls, etc. you can just pull it up and go.
For the price and the bluetooth feature, I recommend this unit to all.
Happy GPSing
