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

Digital camera Review: unhappy
Summary: 1 Stars

We bought the 360 a little over 2 years ago. At first we were thrilled. We used it on a trip to Vermont, then in Maine and Nova Scotia and it was great.
This spring it started loosing satellite connection. Then in about 5 minutes it would reconnect. It wan't troublesome at that point. We didn't use it for about 3 months, and it July we turned it on in SE state and it would never connect with a satellite. We brought it home to NE state and tried it and the same thing, no satelite connection. I called Garmin and instructed me to upgrade the soft ware and then to a master reset. I did that and turned it on and after about 45 minutes it made a satellite connection. It worked for about 2 weeks then went on the fritz again and won't connect to satellites. Garmin wants $400.00 (according to their web site) to repair it. Are they nuts? It cost nearly that much new and it is still close to that price new. Which I can't understand what it is suppose to have that is now worth that much. They (Garmin) offer no explanation as to what has happened. In any event, we only used they Garmin on about 4 major trips and after that most of the use was within a 150 mile range in about 2 dozen times the 2+ years we owned it. We want to get another unit but especially concerned with the reliability. We have frinds and family with these and they love them so I don't know what went wrong with ours. I feel Garmin should take this unit in trade but they won't so I can't give anything but a one star on this unit. Garmin n?vi 360 3.5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Text-To-Speech

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.
