- Had for 3 years
- I have had the Nuvi 360 for over 3 years and I love it more now than when I first purchased it. I normally do not write reviews, but when a company gets something right, you want to let people know. I do not want to rehash everything that has already been said. I just purchased the 2009 Garmin map update for North America. Some people may not need the map update, the older maps seem to do the trick most of the time. The old roads are normally still going to be their. But I travel a lot for my company, so I need to find newer business addresses. Anyway the update was flawless and the update also includes a updated POI list. When I use to go out of town on a business trip, I would always dread looking on mapquest or a regular map to find something. Finding a business is half the battle for me. When I arrive in another city, I set the Hotel I am staying in as a favorite place. I know I can just take off in any direction and have confidence it can get me back to where I need to be. A lot of times, I will just ride around with no address inputted in my Garmin. So, when I get tired of looking around, the hotel if just a couple of pushes away on the Garmin. It is now closing in on 2009, I see alot of cars now having other GPS units that are not Garmins. I guess they do not know how easy a Garmin is to use. The Garmin 360 had trouble with the bluetooth conecting to my phone when I first purchaed it. But they quickly came out with a firmware update that fixed the problem.

- Garmin 360
- I had a Garmin 200 and it worked very well. I bought the 360 as a upgrade. Once again Garmin makes a great product. The only down side of the 360 is the speaker. Quite hard to hear. The other downside is the 360 has a tendency to "lockup" and you have to reset it. Not a big deal but a little annoying

- Garmin nuvi 360
- I am not a tech person. When it comes to computers I'm old school and prefer the old ways. Yet I see the advantages modern technology has to offer. I borrowed a Garmin nuvi from my friend when I went to drop off my daughter at UF in Gainesville. It was so 'user friendly' and convenient to track stores and restaurants that I was hooked for life. I came back from the trip and bought three of them. Now my married son has one and my older daughter. I even asked my UF daughter if she would like one when she goes bike riding around the city. She said it wouldn't be practical. How would she hook it up? Was it weather resistant? I think we're unto something here. If your company would offer one for bikers/walkers at an affordable college price, I'm game to buy it.
I went to Sea World this past summer on vacation and they have their own GPS for inside the park. I told my UF daughter to tell UF about designing one for their campus. I don't think she mentioned it to them. Think how handy for parent orientations/workshops/seminars/conferences, that are always going on there or anywhere. If you patent my idea, please let me in on the interest.
To say the least I am very pleased with my purchase. - 2008-11-11, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Very good GPS
- I have a Tom Tom in one car and a Sanyo in another. By far this Garmin is the best of the three.

- Best Garmin for under $200.00
- I've been "kicking tires" when it comes to GPS units for a couple years. In the last few months I've seen the prices dropping to where even the casual user such as myself couldn't resist finally taking the plunge. Although new models from Garmin have recently arrived and this NUVI 360 is listed as "discontinued" on Garmins site, you will find that for the money that just made this the smart choice. With it's text-to-speech, bluetooth, MP3 capability, plus the fact that ALL the essential cables are in the box ,what else do you need? Unless you decide you can't live without the widescreen (your supposed to be watching the road not the Garmin anyway), keep the $100.00 upcharge in your pocket. The unit performs flawlessly and even when I purposely take a wrong turn,it quickly replots the route and gets you back on course. If I were to "nitpick" my only complaint would be that it only has 1 speaker instead of 2 like its higher priced cousins. This is only a bother when someone calls me and I use its Bluetooth capabilities to talk hands free. Although everyone says I sound fine on their end, its a bit muffled to listen to when I try and hear their words coming through. If it weren't for that , I would have given it 5 stars. Considering this unit was bringing close to $900.00 retail when first released in 2006 , this is a steal! Compare this model to Garmins comparible new releases and you'll be pulling the trigger on this one like I did. The only other suggestion would be to buy the Beanbag mount, it keeps the unit securely on the dash and within reach while at the same time keeping that "break in to my car" circle off the windshield that alert thieves there is something in your car they'd want..lol.Unless time is all you have, don't use Amazon's free super saver shipping. It takes 7-10 days and you can walk to their warehouse and pick it up faster. Grab this unit before its sold out!!
