GPS and the Garmin Nuvi 360

On 10/03/2010, In Uncategorized, by admin

The Garmin nuvi 360 is one of the most versatile and best-looking GPS devices currently on the market. Built on the success of the nuvi 300, this little device features a range of improvements and extra features. One of the biggest new additions is Bluetooth capabilities, which will allow you to use the nuvi 360 as a hands-free kit. You will also be able to dial numbers from this device. Garmin did a great job when they designed the nuvi 360. While it features a seemingly small form factor, the large touch-LCD is bright and displays plenty of useful data.

The nuvi 360 is also small enough to fit anywhere in your vehicle (or pocket), while keeping it easily accessible. This unit also sports an SD Card slot which can be used to load software packages or expand the device memory. Another area where Garmin is marketing this device is for the traveler. For this reason, the nuvi 360 also works great as a handheld GPS navigator. The software also includes various add-ons, aptly named Travel Kit. This is basically a collection of handy software utilities that are really useful when you travel (most impressive of the lot being the Language Guide). Language Guides can be purchased separately on an SD card and contain bilingual dictionaries and multilingual word and phrase banks that support up to nine languages. The Language Guides are also able to pronounce words and sentences. Other handy utilities include an MP3 player, currency converter, world clock, and a travel guide. Bundled with the nuvi 360 is a suction cup vehicle mount with a built-in 12V car charger attached. The software has been developed to make navigating the menu structure easy using your finger.

The Godfather: Blackhand Edition Overviews

The Godfather: Blackhand Edition expands on the calssic adventure based on the movie. This version also includes material from the original Mario Puzo novel that didn’t make it into the movie. Gamers will still join the Corleone family & complete missions alongside memorable characters from the film — but now they’ll have a new set of missions to complete, and the help of some new family members (and a few dirty cops). Exploit loyalties and fear as you rise through the ranks to become Don in 20th century New York City. Carry out orders, earn respect, and make the Big Apple your own. Take down two additional revised compounds of rival Families — and execute five new contracts

The Godfather: Blackhand Edition Review

4.5 from 5

i realize that this game is 2 years old and i am just now buying it, but i can say this is probably one of the best games on the wii. if you enjoy gta, action games, or shooters, then this is the perfect game to play. for those of you who have played mafia wars online, this is essentially mafia wars realized. you get to create a character and work your way up in the crime world.
it is so awesome how the cut scenes and gameplay are incorporated. the graphics have been criticized; however, i found the graphics to be quite nice and realistic. the new york scenery is very nice and the characters look as they would in the movies. the controls are great and intuitive. ea does a great job of showing control tips throughout the game to help you know what to do. it is also great to be able to beat-up, grab, shake, etc people by doing the motions just like you would in real life. the shooting is very easy and rewarding.
you also get to drive in this game; however, driving doesn’t seem to be my strong suite as i had to replay these missions several times. :(

the only negative comments i have are: 1)the font for the words on the screen could’ve been bigger. unless you are sitting fairly close to the screen, it is hard to read all of the good information that is being presented to you. 2)the camera angles are difficult to manage at times, not allowing you to clearly see everything going on around you 3)sometimes while shooting, your target goes off the screen and you have to readjust.

again, this is an extremely enjoyable game for adults. it incorporates strategy, role-playing, negotiation, shooting, driving, and fighting. what’s not to love?
