Garmin nuvi 370

The Garmin nuvi 370 is a GPS receiver designed to provide GPS navigation, entertainment, and travel functionality.  The receiver features a 3.5" TFT touchscreen LCD display with an antiglare coating and white backlight making it readable in all lighting conditions.  It includes wireless bluetooth connectivity as well as a built-in microphone and speaker for taking calls by pairing it with a bluetooth-enabled phone.  The device provides turn-by-turn voice directions and is a step up from the nuvi 360 since it comes preloaded with both North American and European maps and also comes with an FM traffic receiver for traffic alerts.
