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.

Rating:  - Good deal
I consider this as a good deal since the cost of the same device in our country is much higher, in addition it is very user friendly and easy to use.
Rating:  - A time saver
This unit is awesome, it's packed with features and with the Traffic module we purchased separately it's a real time saver. The Bluetooth is way better than the one I was using and I don't have to have anything in my ear while I drive. If you are looking for a good mid priced GPS I would highly recommend this one.
Rating:  - Garmin nuvi 360 gps
I was dissapointed in the 360. I couldn't connect to it with bluetooth. It wasn't able to get us to all the houses we were looking for during house hunting, although I think some of that is related to new neighborhoods not on the map yet. Not intuitive enough. I tried the Tomtom Go 720 it wasn't any better although I liked the screen graphics better and the options.
Rating:  - Discontinued, but a great device
I purchased this device in 2007 for $399.00. I am so disappointed that it is already down to $199.00. Anyway, before purchasing this device, taking a trip was very stressful. I would have to memorize the directions and hope I would get there safely. With this device, getting somewhere wasn't a problem UNTIL last weekend.
Last weekend, I tried to input a street and the Garmin refused to let me do it. When I arrived at the address, I saved it and the Garmin refused to reference the ... Read More
Rating: - Misleading advertising
Returned the unit because I assumed text-to-speech meant the street names would be spoken. I was wrong or the term is misleading. Also, the window attachment did not stay in place.
