5Excellent product  Aug 27, 2008
It is an excellent product. There is no need to buy expensive nuvi 760, it serves the purpose for going from point A to B. Screen is bright and big enough. I dont think one should be paying premium cost for big screen. Voice is loud and clear there is no need to sync with FM radio. It also has detour option for adding stop just as nuvi 760. Bluetooth is excellent.

Only thing I didnt like is that Garmin didnt supply proper attachment for dashboard. One has to stick the plate on dashboard.

I am happy with the product.

3Maps Not Complete  Aug 25, 2008
After much research I purchased teh Garmin 360, but I am sad to say that I am not as pleased as I had hoped. Even after the free update, the maps do not pick up many streets that have been existing for many years. On a recent trip from Indianpolis to Cincinnati, the unit sent me in the entirely wrong direction away from Cincinnati. Thank goodness I knew where I was going and made a correction.

The spoken name of the street works very well.

3This IS your father's GPS device  Aug 18, 2008
I did a lot of research before I bought my Garmin nuvi 360, and I'm pretty sure that it's the best portable, GPS-dedicated device on the market at this price point. I like it. It's small, light, bright, sufficiently loud, easy to learn, and it's never gotten me stuck on the wrong end of a dark and dangerous blind alley at midnight. It even does fairly well in San Francisco, where streets are more like tiny, curvy capillaries than big veins or arteries. If you're determined to buy a portable GPS come heck or high water, stop reading, buy this one, and rest easy that you've made a sensible decision.

Having said that, I think that the reviews here are a smidge on the happy-happy side. I'm really glad that people love their Garmins, but I have to wonder...compared to what? If the comparison is with being lost, I give it 5 stars. If the comparison is with with Rand McNally, a hastily-printed Mapquest map, or your friend's distracted phone directions("Uh, you'll see a red building on the corner...no, no...it's white but it has a red ROOF, yeah...you'll know it when you see it, really"), ditto. If the comparison is with other portable GPS devices, then I say four stars, three cheers, and happy driving.

If the comparison is with what OUGHT to be, however (As in, if you visited Amazon review pages to see if it's worth buying a Garmin GPS at all, not whether you should buy a Garmin GIVEN THAT you've already decided to buy a GPS device), I have to knock one big star down and point out some areas of improvement for the good, hardworking folks at Garmin:

First, it just shouldn't take a dedicated-GPS device 10 minutes to find a satellite. If my cell phone can pinpoint my location in 5 seconds, the Garmin should be able to compete within an order of magnitude....or even two. All too frequently, however, I have to "trick" the Garmin into finding my location by plugging it in (if it's not already plugged in), unplugging it (if it is), or rebooting it entirely. Lame. Second, what on EARTH is going on with that ABCD alphabetic keyboard? Was the Garmin designed by 60 year old men who always had secretaries to do their typing? Seriously, the lack of a QWERTY keyboard is annoying and eats up my time. It's bad enough that I can't hook this baby up to my computer and download a bunch of Google maps...don't make me type slowly to rub it in. Third, the feature that allows one to type in the name of a shop or restaurant and be directed directly toward it without going through the intermediate step of entering the address has worked for me approximately 1 out of 10 times. Ten percent isn't a great hit rate, and when I got to 10 I just stopped trying. I'm sure this is one of the more difficult features, as shop names change frequently and cities have a high density of urban retailers. But basically, unless my goal is to track down the nearest Big Mac or bucket o' Colonel's special recipe (infrequent, to say the least), then this baby isn't helping me get to my dinner any faster. Fifth (am I really up to 5 already?), I have to point out that the design of the Garmin is underwhelming, to say the least. Yeah sure, it's small and light, but so what? Has anyone seen the iPhone lately? I'm not suggesting that the Garmin match Apple's gorgeous design standards or that they hire a designer from Herman Miller, a Koolhaus apprentice, a MOMA artist, or that guy who designs cool stuff for Target, but really. The Garmin is to what portable GPS devices could be as your mother's first home computer was to today's sleek designs. It could be a lot better. Lastly, the windshield mount that it comes with is pretty cheesy. Mine falls off a lot, and I've had to order a new mounting to avoid holding this in my lap while I drive.

In all, not a bad product and I'd buy it again, but it came out of the box feeling like Old Technology. I have this nagging feeling that it's going to be obsolete in a couple of years, and it's not going to age as well as an Edison. It's only really impressive if you don't have other options, and with iPhone and Google maps (and who knows what else) sighting down the personal navigation market, I have an uncomfortable feeling that my 250 dollar Garmin will get donated to Goodwill before too long.
