After purchasing this unit I took several trips trying to use the GPS to guide me. I will never buy another Garmin unit. For most of my trips, I wouldn't have been able to get there using only my Nuvi. There were several streets that the Nuvi couldn't find, streets that were there for decades. For example it was a nightmare trying to guess the Garmin abreviation for County Trunk V. I tried Cty V, Cty Trk V, V, etc. Luckily it was a location I have been to so I was able to drive there without directions. Once I arrived, the street did show up on the map as County Trk V. I constantly have problems in MI with the mile roads, for example trying to enter 6 1/2 mile road etc. I can never figure out the specific spelling or punctuation of a road. Sometimes I had to zoom to it on the map and then tell it to go there--this only works if you already know where you are going and then why would you want a GPS? I found the traffic/weather updates only worked in downtown Chicago, no other place in a 200 mile radius had signal. Another thing that bothered me is the directions along a US highway I was told to take an exit and follow a county highway that weaved through towns and then get back on the original US highway 40 miles later. On the way home it saved me 20 minutes to ignore the Nuvi and just stay on the US highway!

GPS Super Great, MSN Not So Great! November 21, 2007

I'm very happy with my Garmin Nuvi EXCEPT for the MSN part. (After countless phone calls & updated downloads, I've only gotten MSN Direct to work ONCE. Whenever I click on the MSN icon it says that I haven't activated my membership yet. To bad I already paid for that 1 1/2 year membership like the moment I got it. Oh well, it might be because I live in such a small city... LOS ANGELES!?) But I digress; The Nuvi (sans MSN) is great. I've taken it all over the East Coast & it was invaluable! The size is perfect, & even the pedestrian mode works like a charm. I'm going to buy one for my mom this Christmas. The 660 that is.
I also got the air-conditioning car vent mount off Amazon & I highly recommend it. It works perfect. You just close off the airflow in whatever vent you want to mount it on, then just pop in the prongs & holder into the vent & you are good to go. It's super ease to pop the unit in & out of the holder as well, all the while keeping the mount plugged in. It really couldn't be easier & I think it's a lot cleaner looking than having it mounted on the dash. I have an Infinity G35 & it seems as if it was made for my car.

I agree with previous reviews. 680 easy to use. accurate. Lots of bells and whistles. MSN Direct..ho hum... not all it is cracked up to be. Maybe new features if added before my one year anniversary will convince me to buy second year service. At this point I see little use except for weather forecast.
I used it on a trip to Boston and when we left it took us North with no problems at all. In fact it was a breeze. That is saying a lot because Boston traffic and streets are a real maze.
I would buy the 660 if I had my experience now. It has blue tooth and travel functions just no MSN Direct. No loss. Save the $75.00 or so. But Garmin did a great job of making things easy to use.
