Due to the theft of my nuvi 360, I'm removing the contents of my thread...

 

Are those detatchable? I ask because I would be nervous leaving those out in plain view like that.

 

Yea, you can pop them off.

I've had the Skyfi2 on the car for 15 months, never had a problem... but for the Nuvi, I'll likely take that off (and maybe carry it with me).

 

awesome song by poison haha

 

How do you like that GPS by the way?

 

lol, good eye!

 

Haha, I had to choose my station wisely...

The GPS is really cool... unfortunately, I'm not motivated enough to just go drive around for the fun of it... it's pretty much you get to enjoy it as time passes, i.e. during commutes and all...

I guess the things I'm most impressed with are the bluetooth integration (350 doesn't have that, but it's $70 cheaper) and the points of interest (POI).

You can search gas stations, restaurants, hotels, post offices, banks, etc etc etc etc... there are something like 6 million...

For instance, you could type "CITGO" and it'll show you all the citgos, which direction they are, and how far they are. That was quite impressive to me...

The nuvi series, IMO, is the best out there... I love the whole touch screen... it's very intuitive.

I looked at the 660, which just came out, but that's another 200-250$...

Supposedly the screen is brighter, and it's slightly wider... but that also detracts from the portability too...

There will always be something better too, so yea Costco had a great deal on this ($150 off), plus their return policy is great so if I have any issues, I know I have that peace of mind.

 

very good back up idea u got going

 

P.S. Another note on the bluetooth, it imported all my contacts from my 8700c automatically.

When a call comes in, you simply can use the touch screen of the garmin to see who it is and answer it.

You can also dial people on your contacts through it too... basically everything all on the GPS.

However, the best part, is when you're looking for POIs.

Say you want to go to a Bestbuy, and you're at your grandmas (or some location you aren't familiar with). Well, if for some reason you need to call them, you can simply use the device to do that too... That's pretty tight. All the POIs phone numbers are stored...

 

sounds pretty cool.
