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.

theirs many thing this gps wont find.August 18, 2010 M. Restrepo(usa) if u look up something by name it takes like 20min to find it and the majority of da time if wont find it. the features on r ok, but the accuracy on it sux never use it anymore google maps on my phone blows this gps away any day...
nice little gpsAugust 17, 2010 Voyager For the money a very good gps. I use it on my motorcycle (I know it is not intended for that kind of abuse) but for the money I thought I would gamble. Two years later it works great and keeps on going. My intention was to just buy another if this one couldn't take lengthy abuse - so far no need. It handles vibration well but I do put it away if it rains. My only gripe is that the sound is not loud enough to be heard on my bike. But - there is an outlet for ear buds if needing to hear the sound becomes important.
As well I move it from vehicle to vehicle (car SUV Motorcycle) as the seasons change.
If I lost it I would buy the same one right away!
Worse than my TomTom OneAugust 4, 2010 Jazz Mongrel(Dallas) Had a TomTom One before this and this thing has been disappointing. Multiple times its taken me to Starbucks that didn't exist. I know they shut down a lot of Starbucks, but these locations were just insane and SB would have never existed there. The volume is too low to be heard over radio. You can plug it into auxiliary but then how do you listen to the radio? The battery life is not even close to 8 hours. Maybe an hour under normal use with volume turned up to audible (though barely at full volume) level and screen brightness up enough to see. I don't understand the good reviews here. This thing is really not that good. There are other annoyances like no option to avoid certain roads or picking a certain route. Very limited options on this thing. I will be looking for something else and selling this.
exellent machine for a not-so-good driver like meJuly 16, 2010 Tan Wu(Las Vegas, NV) bright screen, clear voice direction, super easy to operate. Love this little machine. If you want a solid navigation system without all those uneccessary frails. Then this machine is for you. I honestly do not see the needs to go for a more expensive model. this machine literally saved my behind a couple of times when I went travelling. I remember I was still in school and had this intervew in kansas for the summer internship ( coincidentally with garmin lol ). I arrived in kansas airport and had to drive a rental car a long way to olathe where the company/hotel was at. It was around 9pm and I was dead tired since I just had a couple of exams and exhausting nights the same week in school. The machine literaly dragged me to the hotel when I literally could not quite open my eyes driving the rental car, and absolutely had no sense of direction where I was suppose to be heading. I just followed its directions while half dreaming... I kissed the machine when I got to the hotel. And I got that summer internship too with garmin thx to it.
Now I moved to Cali after graduation and it still work great after 3 years or so.

I bought the NUVI 360 about 3 years ago, it's an ok unit. Occasionally it will direct you to go left over a median or can't find an address. I bought the updated maps, it took 5 attempts and 4 hours to download with a DSL connection. Customer support had me on hold for 2 hours, i emailed them, it took 5 days to answer the email. The email told me to call. Also customer support is closed on the weekend.
