Garmin Nuvi 360 and BMW

BMW and Garmin, have joined forces to include the Garmin Nuvi 360 in select models of BMW cars. The models that will feature the Nuvi 360 will be the BMW Series 1 and Series 3. These GPS units will come with special custom logos, integrated BMW database, and a unique dock on the dashboard for to you place the GPS. That is a good idea which means it will be located always in a convenient spot.

“Includes a customized mounting bracket that allows owners to mount the nüvi directly to the interior trim on the instrument panel, rather than to the windshield via a suction cup mount like traditional Garmin portable navigation systems… The special bracket is powered by BMW’s onboard network and eliminates the need for exposed power cables. The mount charges the nüvi’s built-in battery so that the device may also be used outside of the car when navigating a city as a pedestrian.“

Furthermore, the Nuvi 360 sports Bluetooth connectivity, pronounces street names, and acts like a MP3 player as it plays MP3’s. As of now, it sells for $322.
