Pros: Easy of use, accuracy, spoken directions

Cons: None

I've had my Nuvi 360 for several months, and continue to be amazed by it. Makes driving in unfamiliar places a breeze - considering the amount of time I spent being lost before I had it! If you're considering purchasing a Nuvi unit, I sugges...t that you hold off ordering accessories until you discover what comes with it - the Nuvi is shipped with a suction mount and a nice leather case. An exception might be an external antenna such as the excellent one offered by Gilsson. Just a few suggestions for Nuvi users to help get the most from the unit: * Use the vehicle power cord whenever possible. This allows you to enable the WAAS function of the Nuvi without draining the battery. WAAS makes the thing so accurate that it can distinguish between being in the first or second position at a traffic signal. * Consider the dash mount system for the Nuvi marketed by ProClip USA. Their mounts consist of a section specific for the vehicle, and a second section specific for the GPS unit. A bit pricey, but excellent quality, perfect fit, and holds the unit rock solid. * I purchased a bean bag mount and an extra auto power cord to use with rental cars. These fit in a small case I carry in my briefcase, and setup in the rental car is very simple. I add the locations of the rental car provider, my hotel, and the location of my business meetings to the Nuvi's "favorites" group before I leave, and then use the Nuvi's directions to move to and from these locations, even when I'm in the city for the first time.
