Easy setup, low learning curve. Some business locations listed are a few years old, but most roads are accurate. Lots of information to view.
Garmin Nuvi 660 GPS Naigator and Personal Travel Assistant June 13, 2007

How do they do it! This is the most incrediable thing yet. We bought this item for our daughter's birthday. She travels with her job and knew it would be a great present for her on those out of state trips to locate restruants, hotels and her conference sites, ect. Also liked the "hands free" calling/talking which allows her to talk on her cell phone without taking her hands off the steerling wheel (very important). My wife and I visited my daughters home on her birthday and experienced first hand just how nice the Navi 660 worked. Our daughter and son-in-law live in a sub-division in the country which is hard to locate if you don't know where your going, and the Nuvi 660 took us right to the front door. Also what's great about the unit is, if your not paying attention and miss a turn, it recalculates your location immediately and tells you where the next turn is to get you back on track. To say the least, this happened to us, but no worries! I was so impressed with this item, that we are purchasing 3 more Garmins; one for my wife, myself and our son. Great, great product and BUY it from Amazon, you won't find a better deal, I promise, I checked them all out!
Garmin Nuvi 660 - Fantastic Technology June 12, 2007

This technology is amazing to me. There are so many capabilities built into such a small device. The navigation function is what is expected but to have the MP3 function and the blue tooth phone ability is just an added plus. I use this device all the time.
EXCELLENT!!!! NICE PRODUCT June 12, 2007

 Almost Perfect June 11, 2007

I have owned the Garmin Nuvi for 3 months now, and I love it. I have used it much more often than I thought I would, and whenever I leave the house, now it's my wallet, cell phone, and nuvi. Wouldn't go anywhere without it. It's extremely user-friendly, plug-and-play capabilities are terrific, and I honestly think anyone can use it.
That being said, I have found one major flaw that prevents me from saying this GPS unit is perfect. I do think it is the best in the market, but I believe it does have some flaws. When I first bought it, I lived in Long Island, NY, and about 2 months later, I moved to Bayside, NY. I found that in Long Island, even with the Faster Time option, the Nuvi would try to lead me through local roads (instead of the faster expressway) that would actually end up taking much longer. It wasn't a big problem, and since I already knew the routes, I didn't think anything of it.
This last weekend, I traveled from Bayside (which is in Queens) to New Jersey, and the route that the Nuvi took me through was a complete waste of time, filled with traffic, and a total nightmare! I was extremely unhappy. It led me straight into Manhatten, into tremendous traffic and through the tunnels which are always jam-packed. I would never go through this route if I had taken a printout from Mapquest, and discovering that I was heading towards the tunnel was very disappointing. I specifically have 'traffic' as one of the main things to avoid, and the route I usually use is the fastest route option. This time, it was a total let down.
The same problem again occurred once I was in NJ too. Instead of taking me on the freeway, where I could get to my destination the fastest, it took me through local roads with tons of traffic lights. What was supposed to be a 1-hour trip took 2 hours instead. It was extremely frustrating and disappointing. This is my only major complaint about the Nuvi.
I've noticed that in the Northeast (NY, CT, NJ) the Nuvi isn't as efficient and effective as it should be. So if you're in the Northeast, don't completely ditch Mapquest. Lastly, does anyone have any advice or solutions for this problem? Feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.
