Garmin 360 [Posted on 2008-11-11]
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
Had for 3 years [Posted on 2008-11-12]
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.
Love my Nuvi [Posted on 2008-11-13]
My cousin gave this to me as a gift, and I love it. Tells me where to go and even which side of the road. Colors are bright and clear, volume is great. I've even used the bluetooth and it uploads all the contacts from my iPhone. I also use it for geocaching and can upload cache pages with all the details. I'm buying one for my daughter next.
My first GPS~~Looks like I got the BEST! [Posted on 2008-11-14]
This is a great GPS system. It comes with everything you could possibly want. Text to Speach, Bluetooth capable, carry case so you don't leave it in the car. If you do leave it it has an anti theft password you can use and then stickers for your window telling would be thefts to pass this one by. You get the A/C addapter, the car adapter, USB cable, Dash mount window mount, CD Rom and even a free coupon for an audio book to listen to in the car.
Some more expensive units don't come with everything you need. You find out when you get it home that it can only be on when the car is running and you have no other way to charge it. The screen is quite clear and easy to read. No need to get a 4.3 size this is really quite perfect, infact larger would be more of a distraction.
You get screen savers also, how cool. There are different voices to choose to talk to you. Some have complained about the volume but you can adjust it easliy. The touch screen programing is so simple and the letters are big enough if you have larger hands you are not pressing two letters at the same time.
I tried it just coming home from church and it wanted me to take another route than I had planned I just went on my way and she said reaculating and in 1 sec she had my way planned. You can zoom in and out what type of view you want.
This is fine unit and I cannot wait to take it on a trip. Oh you can also get chips to update it for vacations like Europe and the like.
Better than I Thought, Great Product!! [Posted on 2008-11-16]
This thing is really something, I really didn't need it, I just wanted it! It doesn't always map out the shortest way, but either does Mapquest. I would have given it "5 stars", but the bluetooth sometimes forgets to pair with my phone
