Amazon.com Product Description
Now you can go from North America to Europe without loading any more maps with the Garmin's transatlantic nuevi 370 Personal Travel Assistant. This pocket-sized personal travel assistant comes with built-in street maps for both continents, making traveling abroad as easy as getting off the plane. The nuevi 370 is loaded with convenience features such as a travel kit and hands-free calling, on top of which it provides you with even more maps and an integrated traffic receiver.



The nuevi 370 comes with built-in street maps for both continents, making traveling abroad so easy. See side view.


Keep track of all of your speed and timed information on one single screen.


The 370's travel kit menu delivers access to audio books, pictures, and more.
Despite being loaded with features, the nuevi 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 nuevi 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 nuevi 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 nuevi 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 nuevi'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 nuevi 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 nuevi 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 nuevi 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 nuevi 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 nuevi 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.

3 out of 5 stars Nuvi 370   August 29, 2008

I am a guy who has had GPS for many years now. I have had handhelds since handhelds came out in the late 90's. I have had expereince with the military GPS in the mid/late 80's when the GPS was the entire back of a Hummer!! But I digress. This is about the new Nuvi 370. I dont hate it, but I definately dont love it. It is small, but not compact. The screen is fairly bright, but still is hard to read in bright sunlight. The voice mispronounces "almost" everything she reads. You really have to pay attention to what she is trying to say. There is also a flaw in the design as far as it frequently "thinks" there is a turn if there is a bend in the road. It will say "keep left" for I-10, and this wont make sense to you because I am already on I-10... You dont need more confusion if you are in a new place. I would give this unit a C at best.


4 out of 5 stars Works great, had difficulty in entering address.   August 29, 2008
S. Nahar (Buffalo Grove, IL USA)
It worked great in my Canada trip. I had difficulty in entering address. As I have Magellen unit and Magellen allows you to enter only possible characters in city or street.

One need to be careful entering french addresses for Montreal or Qubec, etc.

Otherwise unit worked fine with price I paid $250.



4 out of 5 stars Good product but maps aren't up to date   August 26, 2008
Daniel W. Grilley
I like the features on this unite and it seems pretty easy to use. The only real problem for me is that many locations are not up to date. The strip mall down the street opened over 2 years ago and only around half the locations are in the Garmin. I did an update of their software and none of the locations missing came up. I realize there is some turnaround in getting this stuff mapped, but 2+ years should be enough time especially given that around half the businesses are there. They all opened pretty close to the same time. Pretty annoying to think that if I search for a restaurant while traveling that it might not show if it opened in the past 2+ years?


5 out of 5 stars Simply outstanding!   August 21, 2008
J. Johnson (Columbia, SC)

I have the Garmin 670 for routine local use in my car, got it for the larger screen etc. Got the 370 for travel-it packs easily, great for walking, bicycling or driving. The screen is terrific, easy to read-bright and clear and the directions are fantastic-the voice is easy to understand, thorough and prompt. I would highly recommend this product to anyone, family members or close friends. You won't go wrong. In addition, the coverage for Europe will be very handy when I return there. With the 670 and the 370 I am very well covered locally and abroad. While both cover Europe I prefer the 370 for travel outside the U.S. just due to the fact it takes up less space. I could not be happier with this combination, both are ideal.



1 out of 5 stars I say but a TomTom instead   August 19, 2008

A poor GPS experience. Poor battery life (max. 3 hours, which makes day long navigation in Europe by mass transit/foot obsolete). Not very accurate - I have found mine to be as much as 150 yards off, which isn't very convenient when you get off on the incorrect exit and it doesn't alert you until it's much too late. You can not mute the voice commands and have to go through the menu settings just to change the volume. Very obnoxious to be on a business call and the voice command interrupts your conversation and you can do nothing. Takes a long time to "boot" up and recognize my new location - as long as >5 minutes. I have also had it tell me I was in a location that was 750 miles away. Kind of tough to navigate somewhere in Atlanta when it tells you you're in Baltimore. England country roads very poor; Venice, Italy navigation impossible. We bought Garmins and TomToms for our employees and have found the TomTom to be a far superior GPS as far as functionality and in each and every side-by-side test. I have used Magellans in rent cars and found them also to be more accurate and far more intuitive.
