Amazon.com Product Description
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. Simply press the "Media" button on your device and select from movie, music, or image to play or view files that are stored in your Media folder.
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.
Pre-installed for English language use, the P-3600 also gives you the option of choosing among nine other easy-to-load languages on the included DVD (French Canadian, Spanish-Mexican, English-UK, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Danish and Dutch). Ideal for both home and travel use, this system comes with an auto mounting bracket so you can take it with you wherever you go.

Customer Reviews
Caliber Excellence
I purchased two of the Caliber P-3600 after reviewing as much data on other units as I could stand. The reason for two units is that both of us can have one as we go in different directions at least once a week. Out of the box I charged them both. Yes, they have an AC charger included that many others do not and there also is the charger for the car. I did read the owners manual first. It is adequate and understandable. Next I tried the "DEMO" mode to a location. The directions were great and the display was exceptional. You have a choice of looking at a map(and split screen) or line by line text. The voice guidance was very clear and responded appropriately to the directions. There was always plenty of time prior to making a turn with the unit giving you a double chime near the turn. If this unit had a "text to speech", it would really be at the top of GPS units. It utilizes the "Navteq" maps in the system. Do not hesitate to consider this unit. The ease of operation and the accuracy of it probably cannot be beat by others regardless of price.
By the way, I found these on sale at PC Connection.com for half off of other sites.
Second time buyer
I know this GPS doesn't have a flashy recognizable name, but it is the most awesome and user-friendly electronic device I've EVER owned! My car widow was smashed and my first one was stolen, but I'm ordering this again because I love it and it's NEVER let me down. You may have some trial and error and I once had to "recalibrate" the GPS ... but read your darn manual. This product is AWESOME.
NOT at all Recommended
All,
I purchased this product and found following issues:
1) Too slow to respond in San Francisco area
2) 50% of times it complains that SD card is not inserted properly, however, in reality it is inserted. You then have to take it out and re-insert and restart.
3) One has to go through long process for adjusting the volume
4) One has to accept the terms every time this unit is started
5) Customer service requires one to leave a message and the response is not prompt.
Conclusion, if you value your $$, do NOT buy this unit.
