Garmin nuvi 360 Personal Travel Assistant

The Ultimate Travel Companion

The nuvi is a portable GPS navigator, traveler's reference, and digital entertainment system, all in one. Combined with detailed maps, the nuvi provides automatic routing, turn-by-turn voice directions, and finger touchscreen control, making it easy to find your way anywhere. The unique "text-to-speech" feature calls out turns by street name. The nuvi also offers a travel kit of useful travel tools to help keep any journey fun: MP3 player, audio book player from Audible.com, JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement cnoverter, and calculator. In addition, optional software packages such as the Language Guide and Travel Guide (sold separately on SD Data cards) can be added for language and content support.

Small In Size, Big On Performance

Approximately the size of a deck of playing cards, the svelte and stylish nuvi hosts a sinlight-readable 3.5-inch (diagonal) color touchscreen display with a recessed power button, SD card slot, mini-USB jack, and headphone output. The flush flip-up GPS antenna houses an external antenna jack, and the unit's speaker is mounted within the unit, making the nuvi easy to carry in a jacket pocket, brief case, or carry-on.

Many Entertainment Possibilties

To pass the time on those long trips, the nuvi comes equipped with an Audio Book Player, with content provided by Audible.com -- featuring more than 70,000 hours of audio programs from more than 200 content partners. The nuvi also features an MP3 player that lets you browse music by artist, album, song, or genre, as well as the ability to build playlists. Loading music onto an SD card is "drag-and-drop" easy -- no special software is required. Sample MP3s are pre-loaded onto the unit. Additionally, the nuvi offers a Picture Viewer for displaying digital photos, a World Travel Clock, Currency and Measurement Converter, and Calculator.

All Charged Up

The nuvi has a battery life of four to eight hours, depending on backlight settings and GPS or application usage. The unit can be charged via the included AC power adapter, 12-volt power cable with suction-mount automotive cradle, or the PC/USB interface cable connected to a computer. Equipped with a new high-sensitivity GPS receivcer, the nuvi is capable of maintaining a signal in heavy foliage or "urban canyons" created by city skyscrapers.

Your Personal Travel Guide

Travelers can use the nuvi to navigate to an address or search points of interest (POI's) -- places like hotels, restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions. The nuvi automatically calculates the fastest route and provides voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions along the way. Thanks to the nuvi's text-to-speech functionality, the unit audibly announces the name of upcoming streets, letting you keep your eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic and tricky roadways. If you stray off course, the device automatically calculates the quickest way to get back on track.
