The nüvi 360 comes with hands-free bluetooth wireles technology. See side view.


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.

5 out of 5 stars great gps   July 17, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

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.


4 out of 5 stars Good Value   July 15, 2008

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.


5 out of 5 stars Wow! a beautiful product!   July 15, 2008
Works like a charm in my car.
Pros: Great maps/navigation (haven't found many issues, though would like to have a facility to route yourself by touching a specific road/route)
- pairs with the bluetooth phones so easily without any issues; speaker quality is good (and the microphone works well too)
- good mp3 music play (using an sd card)
Great travel companion!
Update: the navigation really compares well with the 1000+ $ navigation systems in luxury cars such as Lexus/Acura almost (doesn't have real time traffic data feed etc.., but for the price you pay you get a lot)




4 out of 5 stars Overall a great item; some glitches to be aware of   July 15, 2008
We recently took a trip to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and, having never been there before, had no idea where anything was. So we used our navigator a lot. Easy to use, map is clear, good verbal directions and loud enough speakers to hear directions. Plugged in Mexican Food and it found several restaurants in the area and told how far each was from where we were, etc.
Occasionally it was off a little -- e.g., to hotel it said turn left and hotel would be on left, but actually it was turn left and hotel was on right. Also, one place we wanted to go it showed us and directed us to it, but the place was no longer there. But, overall, it was accurate 98 percent of the time and was a huge help in a city we had no clue about. Good bargain for the price.
We have just gotten bluetooth phones and have not had a chance to use them with this unit, so can't comment on that.

I bought this GPS only two days before My daughter and I went on a ten day college road trip to the East coast. This GPS was a life saver. We loved it. I was able to use it in Canada, Michigan, NY, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinios. We also used it for food and gas locations as well as some university locations. It is terrific. The best investment I made.
