    Bluetooth function worthless
    I paid extra last year for the 360 over less expensive models because of the bluetooth function. My phone is on the list of approved phones. Linking the phone was easy as was making or receiving calls from the device. The sound on my end was fine. The problem was on the other end. Callers complained that they couldn’t hear me because of background noise. I tested it by having someone call my landline with the gps in bluetooth mode in a quiet room. The background noise and echo made it difficult to hear the caller in a quiet room. It’s even worse when you add road noise to the background. The gps functions are easy to use but I can’t recommend this unit because of bluetooth.

    garmin Nuvi…its worth it.
    i received this for christmas last year. ive always wanted a navigation system, because lets face it sometimes the direction you get from people are wrong. (dont get me started on mapquest either!)

    i use this for work, and ive never been lost. this is a godsend especially, on those expressway trips or those jaunts to the suburbs..where everything is backwards! ive used this in the REMOTE far Areas also and ive never had a problem . this was by far the best christmas present ive received in a while.

    the navigation, is turn by turn in a crisp clear voice..the map is detailed and colorful but not overly cluttered. the best thing is if you make a wrong turn or stop someplace else..you get course corrections that get you back on your way in seconds.

    it can even find for you restaurants, gas stations, and other places if your new to an area. i found this great little chinese place out in a quiet area in evanston that ive never heard of thanks to this.

    is the garmin worth it? absoloutly!

    Equipment is OK by accessories not.
    I bought a Garmin GPS. The equipment seems to work well. But the window mount is deficient and sometimes drops it down. Well, Now I understand that this had been the reason for its lower price.

    Very pleased with this Garmin
    I have been very pleased with this Garmin. I recently used it on a 12 hour road trip. It worked well navigating my route, even through construction areas. The only feature I wish that could change is the voice. I have only been able to find one voice in English. It is a female voice and it is very computerized sounding. This probably makes sense so it can provide turn by turn directions (naming streets/locations). I love that this is able to give exact turns though. It’s a little pro/con about the device. Otherwise, overall, I love this GPS. IT came with the mount, carrying case, USB power cord. A lot of good stuff for a great price.

    Pretty good But sometimes fustrating
    I was pretty happy with the Garmin GPS. It was small and very portable. everything that it said it was. i really liked that it says what streets to turn on. however, i recently used it in st louis, mo and i have never been there. st louis is doing construction on one of its main major highways so there were many detours. The gps had problems recalibrating the detours, it wanted it us to get back on I-64 which was closed. that got really annoying having the gps talking to you all the time. and another thing was that when in the city, we went through a lot of small neighborhood streets instead of taking the main streets to certain places. that was extremely a nuisance since many of the side streets had 4-way stops.

    All in all, it was really nice to have since we would have been lost if we didnt have it, but sometimes, nothing really beats a regular map.
