 Great unit. Mount sucks(or doesn't) October 8, 2008
AA (Ashburn, VA)
The cons:
The mount is absolutely horrible. It doesn't stay in place. The unit actually fell off as I was driving. Why do I need to get the beanbag mount? I have a sirius sat radio and it's mount is perfect.
The POI search is noticeably slower than my Mio. It took a long time to search "national zoo" and the wait cursor didn't go away.
The pros:
The GPS is fantastic. I powered the unit on and it locked on to the sat signal inside my house. Drove up to the national zoo on the weekend and the directions from Connecticut Ave to Ashburn were pretty good(Although, it did make me take 10 inner streets).
The bluetooth paired up with my HTC mogul as soon as I enabled the bluetooth option. The menu is misleading. When you get to the bluetooth setting for the first time, the enabled option is selected by default. This may lead you to believe that it's already enabled. You need to save the settings to enable it. Either that or I did something wrong.
If you have the mini-USB cable plugged in, as soon as you switch off your car, the unit will power down after a 30 second "switch to battery?" option. For people who have owned a lot of GPS units, this may not seem like a big deal. I've only owned a Mio before and this feature was lacking.
p.s. I got it for 217$ last week and it's already 199$!! Amazon, how about a refund?
p.p.s Who the heck listens to MP3 music on their GPS?
Good deal October 7, 2008
Abdulla Ahmed Haji
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.
 A time saver October 6, 2008
Dana W. Baker (Tacoma WA)
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.
 Garmin nuvi 360 gps October 5, 2008

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.
 Discontinued, but a great device October 5, 2008

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 address when I tried to go back to the address.
When I called Garmin, they said that they couldn't pull up the address either. This wouldn't be so upsetting if the lady, who was with me, did not have problems finding the address because she was using a Tom-Tom.
At first, when Tom-Tom people raved about their unit--I blew them off. I am starting to hear more and more that the Tom-Tom people don't have the issues that Garmin refuses to correct.
Overall, I love my unit though for IN CITY driving - for cities on the edge or new subdivisions, the unit's reliability is unpredictable.
PROS: Serves as a great car stereo due to the MP3 player
Great directions INSIDE a major city
PORTABLE
Great REDIRECTION!
CONS: Many subdivisions from the last 5 years are missing from the unit
Will tell you something is on the wrong side of the road
Will have you turning into people's houses instead of a street
Great buy if you want a basic GPS and MP3 player!
