Easy GPSNov 04, 2009 I had borrowed 2 other gps units and finally bought this one. We love it! I use it all the time, even if it is just to see what time we will arrive. The others had our house on the wrong side of the street, but this is correct. I do double check routes before we go on long trips because one time it didn't take us on interstates which was slightly longer but much more convenient and straight. Be sure and keep the unit plugged into the back, not the side. The side outlet will work with the adapter but it messes up the unit and causes it to go very slow and not calculate correctly. The bluetooth feature is nice although my son does not like the reception but no one else has complained. We love it!
GPS- Garmin nuvi 360Nov 02, 2009 AAA+.
It was a X-mas present. According to my husband: best present ever...Big help..he/we love it. Thank you.
Very Good GPSNov 02, 2009 I'm very happy with this GPS because of It's simplicity of use and response is perfect. It is not the best GPS but for common people who sometimes travel is great! The Bluetooth with my nokia's 6311 and 5800 worked perfect. Speed of connection with satellite here in my country 7 out of 10.
I think It have two cons:
1. The external antenna makes it uncomfortable to manage, and seems to be very sensible.
2. Lack of the function to save the route.
Drop even One time...Its gone for good!Oct 28, 2009 I bought this item for christmas last year in 2008. I purchased it for 169.00 Yes I said 169.00....what is with the new Hefty price for the same model???
I used it occasionally on the dashboard mount. As i was placing it there last week, it fell onto a PADDED car floor. (I have thick all weather proof Mats).
Mind you it was not thrown, and only fell about 2 feet. After picking it up I see that the LCD screen is no longer functioning. There are zig zag lines on the LCD screen.
I do not beleive that a product of this nature which is built to be used in the car, should become useless after this.
The warranty does not cover it.
I will never buy from Garmin again. I can not believe how fragile this was.
great productOct 20, 2009 I bought this for my boyfriend for xmas last yr. This is great. Shame someone broke into his truck and stole it out of his console. I opened it and updated it, added pictures to it, and downloaded music to it. Also I had his cell phone blue toothed to it. Put it back in the box perfectly. It was ready to go xmas morning when he opened it.
When the cell phone rings in the truck or if he rec'd a message, the message went right onto the screen of the garmin. you have the option to hear the message or just read it. The phone calls went thru to the garmin also but half of the time it would be fuzzy guess due to the caller having a cell phone but it worked and it wasnt that bad. still could make out what the caller was saying.
This yr I bought him a Viper Alarm System from Amazon for xmas. Im def going to buy this garmin for him again. I compared alot of garmins and this one fit his needs.
