This map database features nearly six million points of interest (POIs), including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions, and the data is provided by NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping.This preloaded navigator brings all this fantastic map data to your fingertips with a super-bright, 4.3-inch widescreen display for improved map viewing, day or night. Use the touch screen interface to select destinations, look up POIs, and play your favorite MP3s and audio books. The display also helps you control hands-free calling, traffic alerts, and the FM transmitter, all from the screen of your personal travel assistant. Which nüvi is Best for You?: Click here to see a quick, simple comparison of features for all Garmin nuvi GPS navigators Wider screen lets you see more of what's around. Compare these actual size views of a 3-inch (diagonal) screen  and a 4.3-inch diagonal widescreen  | Widescreen -- See Better, See More The widescreen format gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push. FM Transmitter -- Hear Better, Hear More Instead of straining your ears to hear turn-by-turn directions or your favorite MP3s, you can enjoy wireless FM audio transmission via the nüvi 660's wireless FM transmitter. Tune your car's radio to the appropriate station and you'll hear all the nüvi's audio, including voice prompts, MP3s, audio books, and more, directly through your vehicle's stereo system. The nüvi 660 includes many "must-have" entertainment and travel tools, including digital music and audio book playback, JPEG picture viewer, currency converters, and more. All these great features make the nüvi 660 a complete Personal Travel Assistant. First Rate Map Data The nüvi 660 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps, including a hefty POI database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping. In addition, the nüvi 660 accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs Important note about map updates: Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our Garmin Store. Hands-Free Calling In more and more places, it is becoming illegal to use cell phones while driving without a hands-free kit. The nüvi 660's Bluetooth capability, microphone and speaker lets match it to any bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nüvi's touch screen keypad to make a call on a compatible phone. To answer an incoming call, just tap the screen and speak into the built-in microphone. Making and taking calls on the road has never been easier, or safer. In addition, Garmin makes it a breeze to look-up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or even tap into your cell phone's call history log. Integrated FM Traffic Receiver  | Steer clear of traffic with an integrated FM traffic receiver designed to receive alerts from TMC Clear Channel about traffic tie-ups and road construction that might lie ahead on your route. All you have to do is simply touch the screen to view traffic details and you'll be ready to detour around any problem area. And if you end up missing a turn, or you're forced into a detour that is not relayed through the traffic receiver, the nüvi's sophisticated automatic routing will get you back on track in no time. In most areas, TMC Clear Channel traffic broadcasts are continuous there's no waiting for scheduled traffic news updates or random alerts. Because traffic broadcasts are received via a "silent" FM data channel, you can still listen to music or news programming on your car radio without interference from incoming FM traffic data transmissions. A 3-month subscription to TMC Clear Channel's Total Traffic Network is included with purchase of this device.

no 2009 maps - why bother May 3, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Thank you for contacting Garmin International.
I'm sorry, but unfortunately the Nuvi 660 no longer qualifies for a free map update. Unfortunately, it was recently determined that the Nuvi 660 would not be manufactured or offered with the 2009 version of the mapping. Although Garmin may offer a map update for units that are purchased after a map update is released, this only applies to units that will continue to be manufactured and will be offered with the newer mapping pre-installed. Unfortunately, the Nuvi 660 is not going to be offered with the 2009 mapping, and therefor does not qualify for a free map update....

Just talked to their customer service, they DON'T give free map upgrade to any previous purchase even within 1 day old. They just guarantee new maps when purchased.
Garmin Nuvi 660 May 2, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Great product with lots of features for a great price. Compact, easy to use, bluetooth paired easily with cell phone, bright screen, changeable car icons available thru site registration. Slight trouble hearing voice direction at full volume over talking or radio. Products works great with beanbag holder/mount also. Fast delivery-arrived 1 day after ordering!!! Very happy with purchase over all.
THIS IS THE ONE TO BUY! May 2, 2008 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I did research which is usually to scan the reviews at amazon everytime i buy something. FOr a gadget like this (my 1st gps) im usually the guy who spends the extra money for more features and reliability. After reading the reviews of this and the 770, I decided to go with something below the flagship/top of the line and im really glad i did. The 660 works perfectly. Boots up quickly and calculates your route in seconds. I 'knows' all the 1 way streets, and is very easy on the eyes while driving. Comes with detailed manual..but i never needed it. VERY intuitive..just touch the screen and youre there! You can also use it like a yellow pages. If i want to know all the guitar shops in NYC, but im in philly, i can use the 'NEAR' feature, type in guitar and it will tell me all the stores with guitar in the name in NYC. I love this. It really does everything (and more) that you would want it to do, except create the 'salesman' route. I wish it did this, but was not worth the extra cash. I could not be happier with the 660 and i HIGHLY recommend it. I have it a month and its great. The price has gone up $30 since i bought mine.
A great GPS device with just a few minor flaws May 2, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is my second Garmin GPS (my first one was a StreetPilot C340) and overall I'm very happy with it, with a few minor exceptions. One thing I don't like is the fact that it can only read MP3 files. The .wma format doesn't work so you'll have to convert all those files into MP3 before you can load them into your GPS. Also, it has a feature that allows you to play your MP3 files over FM stations; I've tried every possible station and the sound quality is pretty bad (a lot of static noise). I then tried connecting my GPS to an MP3-to-cassette adapter and the sound quality is much better! The other option is to listen to your MP3 via the device itself, which works well but the volume is limited. The traffic information has so far not helped me a single time so I'm not sure if I'm going to renew my membership. So far I'm a little disappointed with this feature. Finally, some addresses (and quite a few stores like Walmart) are not listed in the database, but that's not a flaw with the device itself, Garmin just needs to update their maps. I called them about that and they told me that individual users need to update the map (online) with any missing stores or addresses (then we have to pay around $70 for those map updates which I find ridiculous). The cell phone feature works great! The sound is incredible so if you have a compatible Bluetooth phone you'll want to use that feature. If you travel a lot or if you're bad with directions, this GPS will change your life. You won't want to go anywhere without it. Garmin did a great job with this one.
