Replacement Nuvi 360 Installation Extended
Out of the box the batteries that came in this GPS unit were dead. The box did include a $2 coupon for more though. Once I got some batteries in it, I started it up and checked it out. I decided not to get the Geocache 1 month membership until I knew how to use it. The first thing I did was take some pictures, and that is incredibly easy. There's no flash, but with good lighting the picture quality is great and it is easy to hold the camera and just mash the camera button on the side. Getting them to the computer is as easy as hooking up the included usb cable and looking in the folders of the devise as if it was a flash drive.
I've not owned a GPS before, and this is my first. I'm one of those people who will always attempt to use something before I read the manual. I had to read it for this one, but it is short and sweet and the main thing was just that a TAP on the screen brings up the main 4 menu options. After that it was cake. It took me about 3 hours of sitting down studying the geocache site and the device before my son and I got in the car and drove to our first Geocache site! It was THAT easy. My son is 15 and he was figuring out everything so very intuitively that I MUST say that the interface designers did a terrific job.
Tracking has been very precise. We've done several now and the device has got us right there at the caches. It gives great driving directions too. We LOVE it.
Part of my 3 hours to get this up and running included that I had a problem installing the software. It was an issue with my computer configuration, but when I wrote customer support they were very quick in getting back to me (2 hours turn around) and solved my problem immediately.

Bought this on a chance it might resurrect my old Nuvi. It worked really well! Instructions were almost dead on. I had problems getting one connector to work, but got the GPS up and running. Worth it of or sure if you don't want to buy a new Nuvi.
ReplyDeleteReceived my kit and I was able to follow the instructions. You need patience and a gentle hand when doing this battery change out.
ReplyDeleteI was able to perform the upgrade in less than 15 minutes taking my time while working the case open. It was obvious to me from the video that the wires were tightly connected on the inside and the gentle approach was a must!
One thing with my Garmin was that the old battery was secured with two way tape. I needed to slowly work the batter up with a small screw driver without damaging the plastic. Also, do not over tighten the screws. It wasn't too bad but just be forewarned.
The online video covered 90% of the install process. A good buy.
I wasn't sure that I was up to the task of replacing this battery, but watching the video repeatedly, taking baby steps, took away my concerns. In the end, the new battery worked perfectly, rejuvenating the GPS -- good deal!
