Make Hands-Free Calls
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.

What's in the Box
Gamin nüvi 360, Preloaded City Navigator NT North America or Europe (full coverage), vehicle suction cup mount, AC charger, 12/24 volt adapter cable, dashboard disk, USB interface cable, carrying case, owner's manual, and quick reference guide.

Why was the 360 discontinued?2008-12-01
I just bought the Nuvi 360 for $3 more than the 260 on Amazon. With the addition of bluetooth handsfree and MP3 support, it was a no brainer. My question is why was this model discontinued, and not the 260? Does anyone know?
High price of upgrades2008-12-01
First, when I went to the Garmin website to check for upgrade, it said that I had to register to see if I was eligible for a free upgrade. So I registered and guess what, I wasn't eligible for any free upgrades. It seems to me, little more than a trick to get people to register.

Second, the high price of upgrades. After paying $170, I now find out that I have to pay another $70 to upgrade the maps. They are charging me for the same information that Google gives away for free.

If I had realized the high price to to keep the Garmin current, I would have done more research and possibly made a different purchase,
garmin nuvi 3602008-11-29
Great value for the price. I needed text-to-speech so I would not have to take my eyes off the road. This gps works great. I only wish that the volume could be made to go louder than it does as I don't think it can be heard clearly over the car radio.
Loved this so much we bought a second one!2008-11-26
Garmin nüvi 360 3.5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Text-To-Speech

This GPS is so easy to use and makes traveling so stress free. We should have bought one long ago. We liked ours so much, we bought a second one for our son for Christmas. The only thing is that the price went down $25 since we bought the second GPS one month ago. I guess we should have waited...
Garmin Nuvi 3602008-11-25
I purchased the Garmin nuvi 360 last year for my mom and stepdad for Christmas. They absolutely love it. In the past year, it has not given them bogus directions once. It connects to the satellite quickly (a lot fast than my nuvi 260W). It also came with the a/c charger and a case, so I didn't have to buy them separately. I did buy the Garmin Portable Friction Dashboard Mount for nüvi Series and StreetPilot C5XX Series GPS Navigators (C530, C550, and C580) for them so they wouldn't have to attach the Garmin to the window or dash and it would be easy to move from one car to the other.
The price has also dropped dramatically in the last year so I decided to buy one for my son for Christmas this year.
