Navigator. Translator. Entertainer. Tour guide. Garmin's nuvi 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 nuvi 350 - making it the go-anywhere travel companion. Like the rest of the nuvi 300-series, you're just a few screen taps away from anywhere.

Make Hands-free Calls
Talk about worry-free driving. nuvi 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 nuvi's touch screen keypad to make a call. To answer calls, just tap nuvi'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
nuvi 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 nuvi takes you there with 2-D or 3-D 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, nuvi 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.

Add Traffic Alerts
Avoid traffic jams with the addition of an optional FM TMC traffic receiver and traffic services. By adding these to your nuvi, 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. Select nuvi 360 models also include an integrated traffic receiver and services (click versions tab to view all).

Take It With You
Like the rest of the nuvi series, nuvi 300 sports a sleek, slim design and fits comfortably in your pocket or purse. Its rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or foot.

Go Beyond Navigation
Navigation is just the beginning. nuvi 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 is compatible with our free Garmin Garage where you can download custom vehicles that show your location on the map. Optional plug-in SD cards let you add additional features to enhance your travel experience including language translation and detailed travel guides. Our SaversGuide provides information on nearby merchants offering discounts to customize your nuvi whether you?re traveling or close to home.

nuvi 360: It's a whole n? way to travel.

Great unit in a small package!!!

"Good to go straight from the box! Quick sattelite acquisition, very accurate directions. Text-to-speech keeps my eyes on the road; bluetooth feature (hands-free)totally compatible with my cell (LG enV): simple pairing in practically no time. Volume could be louder through speaker, but a pair of earbuds solved the problem. I've had the Magellan Roadmate 600, and a Lowrance GPS previously. Garmin is truly the undi..." Read Full Review »

NO Truck Routes

"I drive a gasoline tanker about 350 mi a day and use this unit daily. I bought this unit because I was told it had a "truck mode". Well it has a "truck" selection but it doesn't have any truck route software. I went on the Garmin web site and learned through the FAQ section that it doesn't have any truck route software...nor is there any available...What gives here ? lie, deception ? just plain ignorance ?

"Originally I bought the nuvi 255 - I was concerned about buying the 360 since it was a 2007 model. My first use w/the 255 was a trip from Kansas City to Dallas and it set up a route using small highways that NOBODY uses for that road trip.
