The 360 has BlueTooth capability, meaning that you can pair it with your BlueTooth-capable cellphone, making the Nuvi 360 a hands-free kit (sort of) for the phone. Otherwise, the 350 and the 360 are identical. Answer by

Would the blutooth feature work/pair with my blackberry 8830 world edition?. Also what would I need for thi unit to work with my car stereo so I can listen to MP3? Question by

The bluetooth should work with just about any device that has a ''discoverable'' mode. This was the first device I have owned that actually had to find my phone, not the other way around. I didn't even know my phone had a discoverable mode until I looked for it in the bluetooth menu. I am using it with a Motorola KRAZR. I assume it would be the same with other Motorola models. As far as MP3 goes, it sound like crap through the internal speaker but all you would need is an ''FM Modulator'' that plugs in to the earphone jack and cigarette lighter (note you will need two lighter outlets). This will broadcast onto an unused FM frequency to be picked up by your stereo. Avoid units that only have available frequencies at one end of the FM band. Some units can be set to broadcast at any frequency across the spectrum making it easier to find an unused channel. The best way to connect however is through an aux input if your stereo has one. This eliminates the problems inherant w/FM modulators. Answer by

I know of no reason to prevent it from pairing with that phone (but I'm no BlueTooth expert). To play in the car stereo, you need either a male-male 3.5mm stereo cable (assuming the car stereo has an aux input like for an iPod), or an FM modulator such as this: http://www.amazon.com/Scosche-FMMOD01-Universal-FM-Modulator/dp/B0007THIDQ or this: http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?g=251550i=607FMDA25tp=1701 Answer by

SOS!!! I updated the map from Garmin official website. I followed up the instruction step by step. But why after i updated, i couldn't find Canadian map in details, and only have USA maps? The map file name is: Garmin_RMU_CNNANT2010CI checked everything and installed it twice, still couldn't figure out the reason, i got everything like unlock code, key..... My friend bought another model and updated the map by same file and he got the whole North American map. Anyone met that problem too? Question by

Mine came with City Navigator '09. You can connect to garmin (within the first 60 days of powering up the unit) and download the updated maps (2010) for free. After the 60 days, you must purchase any updates you would like. This 60 day period allows you to get the newest map available at the time of your purchase. Answer by

I bought the 360 GPS for my son for Christmas. he's an OTR driver.

The first thing is to get annena for the truck (Tractor/Trailer) The ones in most GPS packges are for the car.2) Make shore it has seting for trucks this will avoid parkways and other forbiden commercial trucks Parteckly the coast east or west coast and major citys. This is inportant to be effective.3) Go to a truck stop (ex Petro)or someone who deals/dealt with big rigs They will have the right annenna for the truck and steer you to the right GPS. Answer by
