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.

An excellent GPS navigation system unlike ones made in present day ^ The Garmin Nuvi 360 is an excellent GPS navigation system. It talks and gets me where I need to go. The case is solid and well-built unlike systems made in present day that feel light and cheap. The Nuvi 360 is the equivalent to the Nuvi 660 which has a bigger screen.
Garwin nuvi 360 GPS ^ If you do travel from state to state this machine will not be okay. I have to make trips to multiple states and it does not keep up with the changes. It has taken me down dead end roads. Turned me down one way streets and recalculated enough times that I should have invested in a good atlas. I have watched it set and try to find a address for 15 minutes and turn it off and ask someone at a gas station for directions, turn it back on and it have the direction and be ready to go. I liked our other Garwin we had 1st we never had any problems.
Navigate ^ This product was easy to use, Opened the package, started it and it was ready to go. I purchased it for me because my husband always made fun of me getting lost all the time. But he borrowed it and now cant get it back....
Decent GPS until the power button fails ^ I have owned my Nuvi 360 for over a year, and had no problems with it until the last few months. The power button on these units is constructed poorly. It is set under a piece of plastic, and after repeated use, can get pushed down too far for it to turn on. I went in under the plastic tab to turn it on and it stopped working completely. The product overall is good except for this faulty hardware. Please be aware of this if you are thinking of purchasing this unit. I am buying a new one, and I am going with the Nuvi 265 (the power switch is a sliding switch on this model!) I hope garmin doesn't let me down a second time!
I love my Garmin ^ Great device to get you where you want to go. One of the best GPS devices on the market. My only complaint is that the included car cord fell apart shortly after one year.
