Strengths: Great directions, if you have two quick turns it lets you know before you get there. Love the capability of finding WalMart, Best Buy, etc in a strange city.
Weakness: No way to learn routes, it is either the fastest way or the shortest way. No way to block a road. Sometimes a little slow in picking up satellites
This unit replace my GPS that was stolen from my Ford Excursion, a Navtech On Board. I would buy the Nuvi again. MP3 capability is of minor value. Screen is crisp and clear on almost any light. Much better than my old unit. It changes from a detail view to a broader view based on speed, generally around 45-50 MPH. If you set a place as a location that is not on a street, it has trouble with that....
Strengths: Goes wherever you go. Easy to operate out of the box. Easy to read manual. Amazing operation big bright screen and easy to operate. Hands free phone is great very clear also easy to navigate.
Weakness: Does not let you know when battery is fully charged.
Looked at many makes and models did my homework waited for the price to down and Garmin 360 is worth every dollar. What a little wonder! Love the screen size and the change from day to nite. Very accurate gives you a preview and actual arrival time of destination. I purposely took some wrong turns and it got me where I needed to go. Easy suction windshield mount. Its' amazing thanks Garmin good...
Strengths: Size; weight; display; features; great combination.
Weakness: Battery life; builtin-internal battery; long boot time; No off-vehicle grip for hand-held use.
The Nuvi 360 is a wonderful gadget - the Bluetooth is a welcome new feature over the 350. The 360 display is wonderful - you can see it even if you wear polarized sun glasses - very unique. The display gets a pink tint but remains readable. | POI database is a marvel! Want to go to Panda Express? Type it in and it will list them in increasing distance order!! Very cool. | This is clearly a...
Strengths: You name it....map, voice commands, different languages, on demand prompts...you can not get lost - there is just no way!
Weakness: I have yet to find a single weakness
I have always been a believer in maps - I love them - I can use a map to find different routes to get from here to there - no problem. I moved from maps to online services like MapQuest, I loved that too except the directions at times seemed very complicated and often were not accurate. My husband came home with a Garmin. At first I thought - why? Can't you read a map? And...you spent what??...
Strengths: Fast, accurate, easy to use.
Weakness: Occasional errors, errors in owner's manual.
I am in love with my nuvi 360. It joins my ipod as gadgets I would not give up. This is my third GPS, having used an Earthmate (unsuccessfully,) and a Navman/Ipaq (problems synching.) I debated saving a little $ and getting a nuvi 350, since I don't yet have a Bluetooth phone, but I decided to splurge just in case. Battery was fully charged out of the box, and use was intuitive. I was able to get...
Strengths: Nuvi 360 is amazingly light and small enough to fit in a pocket, which is useful while strolling in new cities. Its GPS is fully functional and it connects with the RAZR V3 easily via bluetooth.
Weakness: Sometimes, it takes a while to make a contact with the satellites, especially if it was restarted at a place different from where it was switched off.
Overall an extremely useful product. I have traveled well over 5000 miles in the East coast and my GPS has been there to make the driving stress free and relaxed. I can enjoy the drive rather than worrying about the exits and the turns. The trips are more spontaneous and the POIs appear to be updated and relevant. Regarding other features, I regularly use the bluetooth and the dictionary. I still...
Strengths: Fast GPS recognition (thanks to SiRF chip) Fast Route calculation and re-calculation MP3 player Audio Book Player BlueTooth (for handsfree calls)
Weakness: Slow POI (Point of interest) search Maps not perfect in Boston
I absolutely love this GPS. I’ve had a few different GPS’s in my days, and this one is by far the best hands down. The touch screen works great. The GPS finds your location lock in seconds (my old GPS used to take minutes). Unlike the Nuvi 350 this model has a matte finish screen so there is little to no glare from the sun. This model also comes with Bluetooth capabilities so you can hook it...
Strengths: Excellent signal aquisition. Fast response, decent maps.
Weakness: Bluetooth only "sort of" works with my Motorola Q. Navigation needs improvement.
The bluetooth on this Nuvi 360 doesn't work 100% with my Motorola Q. I can only use the dial by voice function. Everything else has issues. Works perfectly with my Nokia 6230i, though. The navigation needs improvement. This unit drove me crazy on a recent trip from Phoenix to San Diego. It would frequently not tell me which way to go when I came to a fork in the road (while at other times and at...
Strengths: Perfect size, excellent screen size, extremly accurate, bluetooth connectivity with access to your phone contacts and POI phone numbers.
Weakness: None

I am a directionally challenged man. But true to my gender, I still hate to ask for help. But I have had a GPS in my car for the last twenty years or so. Her name is Christine and she's my wife. The girl has always had a great sense of direction, which has allowed me to drive and daydream, and only make a turn when she breaks my reverie with a slightly annoyed "get in the left lane" kind of...

The Nuvi 360 is everything I expected.
Strengths: Compact Size, Portability, Signal Strength, TTS direction with actual street names, increased unused internal memory from 350 model, Bluetooth
Weakness: Needs better mounting system (longer mounting arm), price is abit expensive compared to other similar units, no traffic receiver built-in
This is my first GPS unit ever and so far the 360 is performing great. It does everything that I need it to do. It has a terrific look and feel to it, not as bulky as some of the other units out there. I put in in my pocket each time I park the car so I never have to worry that it'll be stolen from the car when I'm not around. I've also loaned it to my other family members and it's so easy to...
