 How did I ever get around without it? May 30, 2007

This Nuvi 660 is excellent. With the FM Transmitter, it plays my mp3s, podcasts, and is great for hands free phone calls right through my cars audio system. When a call comes in or a direction is being given, the Nuvi pauses your music or podcast and picks up right where it stopped, so you don't miss a thing you were listening to. The controls are easy to use, and the directions are excellent. It has special settings for the type of vehicle you are driving so if you are in a truck that is hauling a trailer (or a fifth wheel in my case) it will keep you off of small back roads and away from u-turns. Or in a car you can set it for shortest distance and it will take you through side streets and back roads that you may have never seen before (a nice feature for use in scenic areas).
It works excellent with my bluetooth phone, automatically giving me access to all of my phone contacts for one touch dialing without re-creating an address book. The features go on and on.
Very well made.

I had been wanting a portable GPS Navigation System for a long time, but decided, based largely on the reviews above, to take the plunge with the Nuvi 660. While I am not disappointed, I have noticed a few little annoyances. First, if you try to "audition" one of these wonders on a route with which you are familiar (a good idea), don't be surprised if you are directed a completely different way and not necessarily the shortest. You will arrive, and perhaps see a few things new along the way. The Bluetooth hands free feature is a knockout! Works perfectly. Not so, the MP3 player and FM transmitter. I bought a 2 Gig SD card to fill with playlists out of Itunes and soon discovered that this was not possible. The Nuvi groups MP3's according to encoded info and forces you into a "Play All" or selected "Album" mode. You can also play singles, of course. Also, the SD card would not fill with MP3's, but shut off at about 180 songs (1/4 capacity). So, I tried to fill it up with a card reader to no avail. Apparently, this is a limitation of Mac computers and not the Nuvi, but you should be forewarned about this gliche. Also, the FM Transmitter is noisey, even down here in MS....lots of interference. Would I return it? No way! But beware of these limitations.

I bought this for my wife as she travels a lot for work. I wasnt sure what to buy when I first started looking for a portable GPS, but when I found the Nuvi, I was very impressed. My wife loves it! She has had it a couple of months and she uses it all the time instead of going to the web and printing out directions (sometimes bad ones). The screen is about the prefect size without being huge. I was worried it would be too small, but it's not. We both love the fact that you can listen to the turn by turn directions without even looking at the screen.
This GPS is awesome and I would recommend it to anyone.

I am a first time GPS buyer. However I did a lot of research online to find which GPS product is good for me and choose this one. I am glad I made no mistake by getting the best!!
As a navigational aid this unit is pretty accurate so far during the past two weeks of use. Love the traffic notifications. Beautiful and bright LCD screen(Probably the best one). Bluetooth is a good add on. 6 million points of interest is enough for your lifetime :)
As other reviewers mentioned setting FM audio is hard even with the built in auto tune feature. But that is not the fault of this device. Its because most cities nowadays have their FM spectrum filled up.
My only gripe is that there is no feature to play video given the excellent 4'x3' screen :(
Great Device!! May 27, 2007

After much research, my husband and I decided on the Garmin Nuvi 660. We wanted a useful, accurate, easy to see and program navigator to move between our cars (and even our motorcycle!). We used to own a Lexus with an installed navigation system and while the screen size was bigger, there are features on the Garmin that are an improvement on the Lexus system. The Garmin tracks your travel time, mph, distance traveled and distance yet to go. That's probably my favorite screen. The bluetooth capability with your cell phone is really not very useful. It's more a function of the noise level in the car than how well the feature works on the Garmin, though. All in all, well worth the money! And it's truly functional!
