Greetings.
I am in the market for a GPS and I am leaning toward nuvi 360. I would like to have some advice on selecting a right model.
Feature that I liked.
1) small size to be both hand-held and used in a car.
(nuvi 660 seems too wide to carry in your pocket.)
2) map of US
3) map of Europe (for two-week trip in August). I don't plan to travel often to Europe, but it will be nice to have. (I do not know if I can justify additional $200 for nuvi 370.)
4) bluetooth (hand-free) capability
5) live traffic update is not important
Thank you in advance.

SD Card
Tim,
You can purchase the European maps on an SD card from Garmin as an accessory for the Nuvi. All of Europe on SD is VERY expensive - $350.00, which makes the Nuvi 370 (with both sets of maps preloaded) look a bit more like a bargain. There are cheaper SD cards available at Garmin.com, with maps of specific areas within Europe (like Italy & Greece) if that will help you. In any case, it won't be a cheap venture. Go to Garmin.com, select the Nuvi 360, then look at the menu on the left side of the screen. Click on the accessories, and scroll down to the accessory maps.
Cheers......
