Just returned from a trip to CA with my new Nuvi360. Sure did come in handy. The bluetooth feature is really nice when looking for a restaurant. I like to try local places vs the chains, and you don't know if they're open. It's really convenient to just hit the screen after selecting the POI to see if it's open for business. I did get messed up a couple times though. I noticed when quick turns are required sometimes it just can't give you enough advance notice, especially if in heavy traffic because it's difficult to get into the correct lane in time. Intersections were also a challenge at times when faced with several different options. For example, I came off the interstate, came to a intersection with about 5 different choices I could have taken. The Nuvi says "continue on so & so street." Problem is, can't read the street signs in time and end up on wrong street. Not blaming the GPS, it's just one of those things. But overall, it was a wonderful little tool to have with me. The vent mount worked just fine. Highly recommend one of these units. I don't think you'd be disappointed. |

For just at $1,000, you'd hope so. Still cheaper than most factory units, but - wow. Garmin's Nuvi 880 sells for $1000

My birthday isn't until next Friday, but since I was presented a present today, I guessed what it was (we leave for vacation on Saturday).. Garmin Nuvi 260W Wide screen and text-to-speech.. Haven't even opened it up yet... but, I'm very happy..

Does anyone know which big size SUV or Minivans has the Navigation with real-time traffic information?

We drove out to look at a home on a lake very close to our home. The subdivision has been around since the 1970s. It has two lakes. One is pond the other a little over a mile long with homes lined all along one side. Our Sequoia NAV had the pond in the right location. It did not even show the lake. Who provides the software in the 07 Toyota Sequoia NAV units? I am getting so discouraged with this my first NAV, that I am about to pull the dang fuse and go back to my AAA maps & Thomas Brothers. I would NEVER buy another vehicle with NAV they are a total rip-off. At least if you buy a cheapo at Costco you can take it and get your money back. I think I am going to try going after Toyota. Maybe file a small claims against them. Maybe someone with a Garmin will put in 3777 Via Palo Verde Lago, Alpine, CA 91901 and see if that address is on a lake. It is on Maps.live.com PS It also said it had no directions in this subd that is 30 years old.

Replying to: gagrice (Jul 20, 2008 5:21 am) I see that address in S&T, off of Via Dieguanos Road. It does however have it all shaded in green, as apparently it is part of the Cleveland National Forest area. I do see the Loveland Reservoir, large body of water. I do see a pond (ouside of the National Forest Area), down off of Via Viejas and Via Belota.....so I'm suspecting it has something to do with the fact that it's in a National Forest area and a smaller pond.
