  Duration of ownership: 1 Year

  Strengths: screen size is just right - not too big, not too small. navigation functionality is excellent, even when traveling at high speeds :-) great feature set - meets/exceeds my needs easy to use - human interface is excellent also. blue tooth works well with my treo (treo's seem to be a bit picky interfacing to other blue tooth devices) mp3 player and sd card feature are very useful for my work commute battery life is great for getting around with out the charger

  Weaknesses: just one - tinny sounding speaker (see my solution below)

  Overall: received as a gift. very useful and i wish i had gotten it sooner. there are software hacks to crank the volume up a bit to help the "tinnyness". The best solution is to get the audio to play car audio system. i've read unfavorable reviews of the various FM transmitters, but found a $9 cassette adapter that works fantastically (yes, my car still plays cassettes as well as cds, etc). overall, a great product and i strongly recommend it if you are in the market for a gps device.

  Strengths: I like the smallness of the GPS. Its compact compact and has all the nessecary accessories such as car charger, USB, and Plug in to house hold outlet

  Weaknesses: Not dependable and unpredictable. I have trouble when I start a new trip. It tells me that I am still at the previus location.

  Overall: Can't trust it. Custumer service is 25 mins wait and not sure if my time is worth the waiting time. I think if you have a little patience, this model may not be for you.

  Strengths: complete in begining worked well

  Weaknesses: voice hard to understand then stopped completly yr later

  Overall: Loved it in beginning, got lost ocasionaly in mountains but otherwise perfect. Then voice became hard to understand then voice quit working. So unless you are able to read it don't invest your good money. find something less expensive that can be replaced

  Strengths: Fair

  Weaknesses: Bluetooth Not compatible with many cellphones. Check your compatibility before you buy.Phone was discontinued by the manufacturer March 2008

  Overall: Advertising says "compatible Bluetooth technology". Very limited selection of compatible phones. Their tech support was absolutely no help. No mention in any advertising that the unit had been discontinued

  Strengths: size

  Weaknesses: blurry screen

  Overall: I had the Garmin 360 for a couple of days and it's ok, but compared to my MIO which is 2 years old, its not as good. the biggest dislike is that the screen is blurry. also the voice is not loud enough.

  Strengths: Rich features at a low price. Smaller size is perfect for portability and travel. Bluetooth interface for hands-free phone usage.

  Weaknesses: None so far.

  Overall: My first GPS, I picked the 360 over other models due to its features, small portable size for travel, and Bluetooth for hands-free phone usage. More features in a GPS than I'll use (images, MP3s, etc.
