Despite being loaded with features, the nüvi 370 still allows you to navigate with ease. This unit comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded NavTeq City Navigator NT street maps for both North America and Europe, and includes a hefty points of interest (POIs) database with hotels, restaurants, fuel stops, ATMs and more. Simply touch the super-bright, sunlight-readable color screen to enter a destination, and the 370 takes you there with either 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. This navigator voice even announces the name of exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes off the road, and can concentrate on your driving to keep yourself and your loved ones safe. In addition, the 370 accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras, and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs that require your special consideration such as speed zones and safety cameras.
Speaking of keeping you safe, the nüvi 370 lets you make hands-free calls so you can talk freely during your worry-free driving. By integrating Bluetooth wireless technology with a built-in microphone and speaker, you can pair your nüvi with any compatible Bluetooth phone and talk hands-free while staying focused on the road. You no longer have to fumble with your phone’s handset to answer a call or dial a number, just tap the 370’s screen and you’re instantly connected. And with 1-touch dialing for your POIs, you can quickly and conveniently call ahead to make reservations or get needed information.
You can also avoid tie-ups and steer clear of traffic with the nüvi 370’s integrated FM TMC traffic receiver. This unit allows you to receive alerts about road construction and traffic problems that lie ahead on your route. Simply touch the nüvi’s screen to view traffic details or change your route so you can detour around the problem area. All of which can be customized with configurable vehicle icons that let you choose individual car-shaped icons in a variety of colors that show your position on the map.
In additional to all this functionality, the nüvi 370 includes many must-have entertainment and travel tools such as an MP3 player, an audio book player (subscription to Audible.com required), and a JPEG picture viewer so you can take your favorite music and pictures with you wherever you go. This unit also features a world travel clock with time zones, a currency converter, a measurement converter, and a calculator so that wherever you travel it will be easy to know what you are getting and keep track of your costs. The MP3 player lets you browse music by artist, album, and/or song, while the optional audio books may be purchased from Audible.com which features over 70,000 hours of audio programs. What’s more, the nüvi 370 allows further customization via optional software such as travel guide, savings programs and language translation on plug-and-play SD cards for all your travel needs.
The Garmin nüvi 370 comes with a built-in, high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, and lets you view and operate it via its bright, LCD TFT touch-screen display that measures 2.8 x 2.1 inches (W x H) and has a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels with 64,000 colors and a white backlight. As a whole, the nüvi 370 measures 3.87 x 2.91 x 0.87 inches (W x H x D), and weighs only 5.1 ounces for easy portability. This unit provides you with from four to eight hours of battery life (depending on use) via its rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and comes with Garmin Lock, which is an anti-theft feature to protect your investment. While you can add software via the SD card slot, the Garmin nüvi 370 also lets you interface via high-speed USB for loading data, though users should note that, like most USB mass storage devices, this unit is not compatible with Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows Me.

User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Was a lifesaver in Europe
We just returned from a trip to Normandy. The GPS was so helpful in getting us around. Once the road we came in on closed while there and we needed to find an alternate - the GPS got us back so efficiently. I believe it saved our trip as well as our marriage.
5 Stars Garmin Nuvi
The Garmin Nuvi is a wonderful product I am truly happy. I bought the product about 2 weeks before I was supposed to depart to Germany, it arrived on time and has been wonderful. It is quick and easy to use, I really recommend it for anyone who needs assistance while traveling.
5 Stars Garmin Nuvi 370
The Garmin Nuvi 370 performed very well on a recent overseas trip to the UK including Scotland, Wales and England. I’d estimate approx. 95% accurate in guiding us on our driving vacation thru the countryside. Although it missed a few newly changed road improvements here and there, it took awhile to get used to outguessing it in locating specific sites and historic attractions we were seeking out. Some sites were not in its database and thus we had to look at the map and input a town nearby. We could not have managed the trip without it.
3 Stars Garmin nuvi 370 3.5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS, North America and European Maps
I was looking for a GPS which works both North America and Europe. When I was happy when I found this in Amazon site especially for the price $240.00 which was offered. This works great in North Americal, but when I took it to Europe it does not work and gives an error sign which reads “Not enough memory”. I am not trying to give this product to my friend and will buy Garmin 1370T which is getting released in June 2009.
How do I register this product. Thanks for listening. Mike

I received the GPS unit in a timely manner. It was in pristine condition (new). Everything was perfect. It will take me a few tries to learn all that this Garmin can do while I’m traveling. Taking it to Italy so will try out European features (maps and language translation).
