Browse your stored pictures with an easy-to-use JPEG viewer.


The device sports a handy MP3 player, letting you play songs stored on SD memory cards.
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
Gamin nüvi 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 love it   July 18, 2008
great thing. my only gripe: not so great at catching a signal when I'm walking around (i.e. not in the car). but I'm usually driving, so it's not really a pressing problem.


4 out of 5 stars A real time saver!   July 18, 2008
I love this Garmin. We've only had it for about a month but it's already helped us find fun, summertime hang outs that other people had told us were hard to find. And it's so small that I can put it in my purse or my husband can keep it in his pocket. We've also downloaded different cars (like a Chipotle burrito!), different voices, and used the points of interest feature as well. It's a great tool, very intuitive to use, and has kept us from wandering around lost. How did I get by without one so long? I also recommend the friction dashboard mount - now we can use it in any car.


5 out of 5 stars great gps   July 17, 2008

I have had this for a year and love it. I strongly recommend getting the black bean bag dash mount which is much superior to the included windshield mount. The only objection I have is that you have to pay around $75.00 to get the annual map updates. The maps are generally up to date, but you will find that new roads don't get on the map as quick as they should.


5 out of 5 stars An excellent product   July 17, 2008
Got this product a little over a month and a half ago. Just love it

The WOW:
- Received the product way early of the 7 days that Amazon had estimated
- Received a credit of approx $10 when prices came down within 30 days of my purchase. Just called Amazon Customer Service and they readily adjusted the price and gave me a credit.
- Garmin Nuvi 360 is an excellent product. No more paper maps for my frequent road trips (though I do carry a map book all the time in my vehicle as a backup. You never know when you'll need it)

Why Garmin Nuvi 360:
- Excellent reviews. After reading a large number of reviews of GPS products by major manufacturers, I decided on Garmin.
- I Wanted an unobtrusive instrument that will not distract. I felt 3.5 inch screen size was the right size. It also fits easily in your pocket.
- It has the map of USA (including Hawaii and Alaska) and Canada.
- It has Text to Speech
- Has Bluetooth connectivity
- Though I was not very interested in the traffic update, with an optional attachment this can provide the updates

The Product:
- Easy to operate. Started using it right out of the box.
- Quick lock in of satellites so you can start navigating quickly
- Calculates directions in a jiffy (Shortest route, faster time, off road). If you deviate from your planned route, it recalculates your route immeditely. Also you have a detour button after you calculate the map which allows you to calculate alternate route.
- The screen is extremely clear and crisp. You can see the map very clearly even during a bright day. It automatically adjusts for evening / night. You can adjust the lighting and the sound volume.
- The screen is very sensitive to touch and responds immediately
- The voice is clear and you can understand the street names easily
- Extensive database of POI with phone numbers (though slow to find places if you type in the name. I guess the algorithm to search the database must be slow. Also I tried calling a movie theater using the phone number from the database, but the phone number seems to have changed)
- Easily synced up my bluetooth phone to make and receive calls for handsfree operation
- Has vehicle mode, pedestrian mode, and several other modes. Tested both Vehicle mode and Pedestrian mode.
Vehicle mode worked perfectly and took you from point A to Point B without a hitch. Tested route deviation and it calcultes new route immedietely. We Used the unit for a trip to Niagara Falls from CT and not once did we get lost and this is coming from a guy who gets lost easily in a parking lot.
I thought pedestrian mode a great way of travellng on foot and discovering a lot about new places that you would miss out if you were driving. But I found it a bit cumbersome to carry a gps with its antenna sticking out. An inbuilt antenna would have made far more sense. Also, it does not read out street names in this mode. I guess you have eough time to look at the street names since you are walking. I purposely deviated from my charted course. It did not recalculate the route. The only thing it did was announce my destination when I reached it.
- It provides a dashboard with information like max speed traveled, time and distance traveled, waiting time, arrival time at destination etc.
- You can also see the comlpete route from starting point to destination just like you would see your route on printed paper

Added features
- You can listen to MP3 music
- View photos
- listen to audio books
- Has a calculator and currency converter

Great bonus
- One time free update of maps from garmin.com

Finally, got a flat, round disk as part of the kit; could never figure out what it was. Any idea as to what it is used for?

I think this product does what it says it will do. It seems very reliable so far (2 weeks) and the bluetooth works great with my phone.
