I've been wondering the same thing! The key for me is being able to enter a
location by Latitude and Longitude. The new "consumer-friendly" units don't
provide this option. I also find "writing" the info to be faster than
"typing" it.
I see similar-looking units on the Garmin website. But the screen display is
not as large. And I don't need a music player. [sigh]
Long live the 3600!

The Nuvi series allows entering location by lat and long.

Thanks, David! I just checked the owner's manual, online, and you are
correct.
I believe the "350" model is the closest thing to the 3600, and the maps are
pre-loaded.
My 3600 won't pick up some of the newer WAAS satellites. Not a problem,
since the cursor "snaps" to the road. But with the Nuvi availability,
there's no sense checking with a dozen venders to see who still has a new
3600 in stock.
