Product Overview

Navigator. Translator. Entertainer. Tour guide. Garmin's nüvi 360 is your pocket-sized Personal Travel Assistant. This versatile GPS comes with hands-free Bluetooth® wireless technology in addition to the popular features offered in the nüvi 350 — making it the go-anywhere travel companion.

Make Hands-free Calls

Talk about worry-free driving. nüvi 360 integrates Bluetooth wireless technology with a built-in microphone and speaker, so you can pair it with your compatible Bluetooth phone. Then talk hands-free through the 360 while staying focused on the road. Simply dial numbers with nüvi's touch screen keypad to make a call. To answer calls, just tap nüvi's screen and speak directly into its built-in microphone. You can also easily look up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or from your phone’s call history log. With 1-touch dialing for points of interest (POIs), you can conveniently call ahead for reservations or information.

Navigate With Ease

nüvi 360 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator® NT street maps, including a hefty points of interest database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply touch the color sunlight-readable screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. It even announces the name of exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes off the road. In addition, nüvi 360 accepts custom points of interest, such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs. The European version even includes a preloaded safety camera database containing the location of safety cameras for parts of Europe.

Traffic Alerts (Included)

Avoid traffic jams with the addition of FM TMC traffic receiver and traffic services. By adding these to your nüvi, you are notified of accidents or road construction ahead on your route. Simply touch the screen to view traffic details or recalculate your route to avoid traffic.

Go Beyond Navigation

Navigation is just the beginning. nüvi 360 includes many “must have” entertainment and travel tools including MP3 player, audio book player (subscription to Audible.com required), JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. It also comes with Garmin Lock™, an anti-theft feature, and configurable vehicle icons that let you select car-shaped graphics to show your location on the map. Optional software on plug-and-play SD cards for language translation, detailed travel guide and savings program allows you to customize nüvi for your travel needs.

Impressed, by Christopher Llewellyn on 16/08/2007

Well what a product. It does what it says. Ready to go straight from the box. No messing about, just plug and play. It was so easy to use, I didn't need to consult the manual before use- it was that simple! I can see this being really handy. Very accurate so far also. Bluetooth link to phone is brilliant- much more reliable than with my own headset, and no more car noise than with a headset. Also being able to dial from the unit is superb- use your phone book or preset numbers for wherever you are travelling to if listed in the directory within the device- it certainly lists all my favourite restaurants in my area. Traffic module seems good, although not travelled too far as yet, but lists loads of problems in distance order. I can see this being used a lot! Still some features I've not used, but if my experience so far is anything to go on, they should be good.
