Garmin Nuvi with a faulty USB port

    A friend of mine purchased a second-hand Nuvi 360 without realising that the USB port is broken. Obviously, there is no recourse to warranty etc., but apart from that, the 360 is fully functional, including the Bluetooth wireless function.

    Is it still possible to transfer files to and from the 360 with a Bluetooth-equipped computer?

    Ye you should be able to, the bluetooth ultimately removes the need for a cable.

    Unfortunately no. It appears as a "Hands Free Audio Device" to a Windows PC with BT support only (uses the Hands Free Profile (HFP)) and not the File Transfer Profile (FTP) you'd need to transfer files. Looks like your friend bought a lemon.
