I spent some time reading reviews on Garmin Nuvis and other GPS gadgets, the frustrations of customers not getting updated maps and other minor technical problems, I doubt if I'm going to spend my money on one soon. Those manufacturers should make those gadgets updated maps automatically for purchasing their products instead of having customers paying a hafty price for download and update maps. That's just stupid cuz people like myself would not want to spend money on something that isn't up to date. I’ve been wanting a GPS for a while now for work related over the last a couple of years.

This device has made our lives so much easier and has saved so much time. I am terrible with directions and often become a 'frustrated' driver when I lose my way. This thing has made driving so much more pleasurable and I have recommended this to many people now. We just moved to a new city and don’t know our way around.

This is the smallest, most elegant and compact all in one GPS navigation solution I've come across. The mapping details are excellent. The Nuvi 360 has map v8 updated from the v7 in the Nuvi 350. The voice prompts are loud, clear and timely. The ease of use is just fantastic and the visibility and quality of the display are very good. The 360 uses the low reflection screen and brighter display which were only found on the very latest 350s. POI access is excellent and can be navigated to much more simply than the TomTom unit which requires additional cumbersome steps. The attachment system for the Nuvi is superb and very secure. With the Nuvi 360 you can access your POIs directly by name rather than having to go through a cumbersome category menu and then only getting the POIs by proximity as is the case with the TomTom 910. The new bluetooth feature makes using hands free use of your bluetooth enabled phone a pleasure. If you don't need or want the Bluetooth feature save yourself a couple of hundred bucks and get the most recent Nuvi 350 but make sure it's got the low reflective screen, the bright display and map v8. Remember, only the most recent Nuvi 350s have the bright low reflective screen. I believe if you get a 350 with map v8 it will automatically have the brighter display with the low reflection screen.
