I used my Garmin 360 on a 3300 mile motorcycle ride. It was subject to considerable vibration and a few drops of rain. It performed flawlessly although the suction mount broke loose after hitting a particlarly nasty pot hole. (I had used the supplied smooth disk and glued it to the dash of my bike. I wrapped the extra wire from the cigarette charging unit around the handle bars in case of just such an event.) Periodically I had to realign the angle of the unit so it was facing toward me. It would droop after a time. The swivel could use a wider range of motion and could be tighter. I had to watch the mounting disk carefully. After a day of sitting in the sun it would some times warm up and begin to loosen.
The unit I received had the 2009 maps installed although the 2010 maps were available at the time of purchase. It could have been more up to date. I did not encounter any road that had changed enough to make any difference.
Overall, the unit performed flawlessly. It ran on battery long enough to take care of any and all off-bike excursions. I dropped it in my pocket several times when I was in cars with other people. It was just a handy thing to have. It was accurate although the screen refresh rate could have been faster at times. I was nearly through a few intersections before the screen would show a turn. The manual is adequate for an introduction. There are many hidden features and capabilities that are not referenced in the manual at all. Experiment a lot and you will find them.
The only problems I had were with the mounting system. It wasn’t designed for a motorcycle, although I don’t know what difference it makes. The dash of a car would certainly get hotter than the dash on a bike. The glued on mounting disk would come off a car dash too. I have had the suction cup system fall off the dash of a car too. It is a good mounting system, just not great. It could be better.
I would buy this unit again, although I would shop carefully for price.

As another buyer stated, it is much better than the cigarette lighter charger that came with item originally. Solid.
