Digital camera reviews of Garmin n?vi 360 3.5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Text-To-Speech

Digital camera Review: Great GPS, especially for the price
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great unit for the cost. We replaced a Quest 2 with this unit and were blown away in every facet. The nuvi 360 is super fast at calculating routes, and quickly reroutes if you stray off course. It has enough memory to hold all the maps, whereas the Trail Guide did not and forced us to choose and load other maps if we were traveling. The text to speech feature is great, works so much better than the Quest 2's vauge "turn right" directions. My Jeep has built in navigation, and she definitely wanted text-to-speech for her car as well. My wife did not want a wide screen because of size, so she was very pleased with the 360's dimensions. The Bluetooth feature works great, and she is no longer jealous of my Jeep's built in Bluetooth as she has her own now. All in all I would highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for an affordable unit with a great set of features.

One caveat is that the Amazon page does not do a good job of telling you that there is a case already included with this unit. We purchased the Garmin "leather" case when we bought, only to be surprised and find a case in the box, necessitating a return of the extra case.

Make Hands-Free Calls
The n?vi 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 n?vi'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 n?vi's database of more than six million points of interest -- including hotels, restaurants, stores, and attractions.

Navigation and Entertainment with Ease
For starters, the n?vi 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 n?vi 350, the n?vi 360 also includes many entertainment and travel tools including an MP3 player, audio book player, JPEG picture viewer, travel alarm, and currency converters.

The n?vi 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 n?vi 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.
