thrilled and disappointed at the same time.
I bought the nuvi360 it arrived very quickly as promissed.
The device was up and running in no time. I did not even have to read the instructions because it was so easy to use.
Lots of great features and i found forums with support software and database for this device very cool.
My first disappointment with this device was minor when I learned you can not use it to watch avi or mp4 movie files a must for the travel assistant when you need to kill time.
2nd disappointment was the dictionary library preloaded is very minimum and if you want the full deal then you need to fork over more $$ for SD cards for your trip.
My biggest disappointment came when I actually read the instruction booklet to learn that the battery in this expensive toy comparable to a laptop computer is not removable/non replacable and when it dies you need to dispose of your nuvi that you spent big bucks for. To me this is not fair for the manufactures and vendors who to fail to mention this fact on a non returnable item. And furthermore in my book this type of tactics to sell more future devices is not excusable. There is absolutly no reason why the nuvi could not be designed in such a way as to have the battery changed. Even if this change needs to be done by the service centre, it should be possible to do this. And ofcourse thinking that the battery would be replacable when i purchased this product I did not get the extended warranty and now I am up the creek without a paddle and I feel like a victom of misleading advertising fraud. Buyer beware do not buy anything until you read the instruction booklet carefully which is very hard to do online.
