The Caliber P-3600 Personal Navigation System is a precisely calibrated, easy-to-use GPS navigation system. It works straight out of the box and set-up is a snap--just plug it in and you're ready to go. The P-3600 is built with a 3.5-inch wide screen, color LCD touch screen interface with simple and intuitive operation. In fact, once you have your destination set, the wide screen makes it easy and safe to view directions with a quick glance. And if you're concerned about diverting your eyes from the road even for a moment, the P-3600 has you covered with turn-by-turn, clear audio guidance. Whenever you're approaching a turn, a pleasant voice will tell you where to go. For added convenience, the P-3600 features a WAAS-enabled, SIRF-GPS antenna that helps you find your way to any address and a Secure Digital (SD) slot.

Pre-loaded with highly detailed, up-to-date NAVTEQ street-level data, this system helps you find your way around the United States and Canada. And if you're in an unfamiliar area of the country, you can count on the P-3600 to supply you with all the information you need. It gives you access to millions of points of interest in over 40 categories, including restaurants, ATMs, gas stations, hotels, airports, shopping centers, amusement parks, and more. The P-3600 also includes a multimedia function for playing movies, MP3s, and viewing pictures.

Convenient and versatile, the P-3600 gives you a multitude of personalization options so you can find information when and how you need it. The screen displays loads of important information, such as road names, ETA, miles to destination, and more, in a variety of modes, while the map display modes include day, night, 2D, 3D, and split screen options. The touch screen makes keying destinations a breeze, thanks to the easy-to-use menu control system with a "Smart Speller" keyboard that takes you directly to the closest match as you type in your destination. This function not only saves you time, but also makes it easier to do advanced searching. And if you find yourself driving off the beaten path looking for a favorite fishing hole or camping destination, the P-3600 is built with a handy "Trail Mode" option that lets you track landmarks and waypoints so you can always find your way back.

So simple to use I got the 3600 up and running without looking at the manual. Fast route calculation (about 6 sec)and great graphics.
This is an incredible value for under $300. The Caliber 3600 works as well as my friends GPS that he paid $450 for.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great GPS for a great price!, December 13, 2006

Thanks to Enzo for a tip to adjust the volume and brightness:try pressing menu key for 3 seconds. You will see small menu to access volume and brightness.

I bought it from OfficeMax online store. This unit is fast, takes no more than 10 seconds to fix a spot. The sirf chip is sensitive enough to keep tracking my location even in places with high buildings or under heavy tree shade, it was even able to fix a location inside my room.
One nice feature is that it draws a dotted straight line linking your current position and your destination, so you always know which direction your destination is relative to you current position.
It gives the clear voice navigation after a ding, like what you hear in an airport, ( I like this better than the Mio C310x male voice.)

Con: unlike Mio c310x, it doesn't have volume bottons, to change the volume you have to quite navigation and go to the system setup windows, same for adjusting the screen brightness.
Also, one thing I don't understand is the adress book, why can we just have some buttons like"save" "edit" and "delect", so I can simple manage my adress book better. Now if I want to save a adress for later use, I have to first type in the address, reset it as my current location, then add it to the address book, ( Mio does this similar thing ). I'm confused about this "work around" and found it's very annoying. But that's really not a big issue based on its very competitive price, around $230 you can't find any better deal than this.

This review is from: Caliber P-3600 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Electronics)

The GPS unit functions well. I've been told that there are a few bugs to work out, but if you just go to the Caliber website there is an update for the unit on the website that you can download to the preloaded SD card. For it's price, I personally think it's one of the best out there on the market. My friend got a MIO on black friday and it works just the same. If you can't figure out how to use the unit after a few minutes of messing around with it, I say you are just technologically inept. It's easy to use and comes with plenty of cool features (MP3 and picture viewer). I also suggest that if you do not have a USB or built in sandisk card reader for your computer to get one as well, there are a lot of cheap ones out there and it will be pretty crucial for the software updates (unless you have the usb cable for the GPS unit.
