I didn't think I would use the bluetooth feature with my cell phone, but after using it the first time, I was hooked. I put a 4GB SD card in my 360 and it's now my IPOD, if you will. This will get hooked up into our Pilot which has an auxiliary input so I "should" be able to have phone conversations over the stock stereo speakers... at least that's my hypothesis at this point... We'll put that to the test over the weekend.

I'm glad you're liking the nuvi 360. I too, never thought I'd find the Bluetooth to be useful, especially since I don't use my cell as much as other users, but I don't think I'd like the unit no where near as much if I didn't have this function. I've been using it through the internal speaker because I live in the greater LA area so it's impossible to find a good weak signal for the FM transmitter. I do wish however that the FM transmitter was better, because I can get better reception with my Belkin unit than with the Nuvi's FM transmitter.
It's gonna come in really handy in Hawaii. I'm glad I ended up keeping it because I would have been lost in Hawaii without it. It was nice to be able to go anywhere I wanted to go in a completely foreign town without having to look at a map, print directions, or stop and ask for directions. Unfortunately, the FM TMC traffic does not have service in Hawaii.
Don't forget to have some shrimp from the shrimp trucks alongside the road!
