 Garmin Nuvi 680 July 24, 2007

Awesome product. I have both the Nuvi 680 and the 350. I think the 350 is a much better value. The screen size difference (Nuvi 680 is 1 inch larger)is nice. The other bells and whistles on the 680,unless you live in your car 24/7 are not worth the significant price increase.
Nuvi 680 Rocks July 22, 2007

Excellent Product that is without a doubt the best personal navigator available. Now the downside it's very expensive the MSN information seems limited, out of date or just plain useless. Sorry not done complaining yet, I would like to have in memory or an add on card WAY more points of interest so rather then constantly inputting addresses, I could just simply punch in that I want to go to Wal Mart and the Gamin would then report every single one in the country that's close to my current location. These are the grips; Now what it does very good is take you everywhere you want to go if you have an address, that is, I never got lost not once!!! Remember at the end of the day that's why you really want one to never get lost or miss-directed and the Garmin never has failed me yet!!!
If you want my opinion I might recommend buying the Garmin products without MSN such as the Nuvi 660 or the smaller screen Nuvi 350 and save yourself some serious cash if you must purchase the Cadillac Nuvi 860 just remember the MSN information is spotty and out of date
 Nuvi 680 Rocks! July 21, 2007

The Nuvi 680 rocks! After driving to Los Angeles for work from Huntington Beach for years I finally decided to get a GPS unit.
With the MSN Direct traffic updates this has cut my trips by a half hour on average. It redirects you when the traffic delays are excessive. It will take you off of the freeway onto streets in order to get you onto another freeway (as most of you know in LA the interchanges are where a lot of the problems occur). It actually makes driving interesting because you don't neccessarily take the same route everyday. I had to learn to trust the unit though. For the most part it knows the way.
The only problem I have noticed is when it puts me on the Santa Monica Freeway (10) West, which is always backed up, there were no delay notices on the unit. Other than that this is an amazing unit and I have yet to use all of its other offerings.
 BEWARE old map versions from old stock. Wait before purchasing July 21, 2007

Received new Garmin 680 from Amazon in early July and discovered map versions were already out of date. 680 was running V8. Friend had purchased a 660 from a local store in June which had V9 updated maps preloaded. Called Garmin who told me it would cost me $80 to purchase the new maps. Needless to say that I have returned my 680 to Amazon and will be buying the 660 locally for $499 plus taxes.
Garmin Nuvi 680 - Real World Experience July 21, 2007

Like a lot of the other Amazon Nuvi 680 reviewers, I too did a lot of extensive research before spending nearly $700.00 for a GPS. After a lot of weighing of the "pros and cons" I purchased this unit. I have to admit, this is by far the best GPS available. I've owned the Nuvi 680 for a little over a month and have been in total awe of its power and performance. I travel for a living and need a very reliable GPS to get me around town, airports and hotels. This unit has been terific in terms of the display, GPS functionality and "add on" features. I now love the Bluetooth connectivity with my Treo 700P Smartphone (after loading the 1.10 firmware release on my phone...before that, it was intermittent). The display is so vivid and detailed while the GPS tracking is very responsive. Lastly, the MSN Direct works well with gas station prices, weather and movies. The traffic may still need further refinement, but I think it's a work in progress. I live in the Portland, Maine area and the MSN Direct signal seems to work well up in Northern New England. All in all, I have not regreted my decision in purchasing this amazing product!
