great product, less complications July 28, 2008
great product, only freezes from time to time when cell phone is conected. other than that it's a great product. I've been able to us it as an MP3 player by conecting it through the radio transmiter. also I been able to access my phone book on my cell phone through it, as well as dialling numbers off of the navigation.
 Garmin Nuvi 670 works well July 28, 2008
I have used the Nuvi 670 on one trip of about 1400 miles. The product works well. The user interface is straightforward, and the navigation aids work about as well as any of these products. I have used several, and none of them are any better than thier map database, which is usually good, but ocassionally there is a bit of a flaw - usually something benign, like indicating a turn to go straight along the same section of highway, or something like that. I found the FM transmitter used to hear the voice on your car radio to be no better than other such FM transmitters that I have used with my i-Pod ... not very good. Using the headphone jack and a jumper cable to the line in on my stereo worked very well, however, and I can use the 670's built-in MP3 player to listen to music while waiting for navigation voice prompts.
I was pleased that the 670 allows setting Favorites via latitude and longitude entries, as I have had to do that a couple of times.
One feature that I was not really very aware of when I bought the unit was the capability for a language translator add-on. The 670 came with a 'lite' version. After trying the lite version for a bit, I bought the full version from the Garmin web site. I look forward to using it on an upcoming trip to Europe.
Absolutely great!! July 25, 2008

I researched many different kinds of navigation systems for traveling overseas and by far the best one out there is the Garmin nuvi 670. It comes right out of the box ready to go with a full battery. The traffic updates are as current as the local AM stations with their traffic updates. I use the bluetooth technology on it to make phone calls and I found it to be very understandable on both ends. The only problem is that if you want to update your maps, which mine came with very up to date maps but Garmin gives you the opportunity to update a map for free so why not use it, the process took very long but this was understandable considering what was going on. The GPS had to upload an entire new map of the US which I would think would take a considerable amount of time. The mircophone and the speakers on it are both excellent. I used it over in Europe because that is the main reason why I decided on this unit over others, because of its European capabilities and I had absolutely no problems. I was able to tell right where I was at. It comes with a very nice leather carrying case and so I would just put it in my pocket and I would travel around and then when it was time to come back I would just tell it where I was staying or wanted to go and it got me there with no problems. The detour feature is great because I go a certain way to work everyday and it suggested another way, well after the first time it asked if I would like to save this route as the suggested route and so now it tells me if there are any traffice problems on the route that I take to work everyday. Overall an absolutely great GPS and I strongly suggest buying one for yourself!
Great GPS for use in the US and Europe July 24, 2008

We purchased this unit specifically because it has maps for both North America and Europe. We used it in Italy and France as well as stateside. It performed very well on both continents. Just one, very minor consideration: in certain conditions like while driving with open windows the speaker on our unit was not loud enough even with the volume set at 100%. Overall, it is a great device.
 garmin nuvi 670 map updates July 22, 2008

I was ready to purchase a Garmin 670 on Amazon. The 670 has both European and USA maps. After reading customers reviews regarding the maps not being current on this item, and the hassle Garmin is giving customers, I decided to call Amazon's tech assistance. The customer rep was very knowledgeable and courteous, and confirmed that the 670 comes with outdated maps and you will have to call Garmin to get EITHER a free USA map update or a Europe update not both. Garmin will charge around 169.00 for the European map update. The usa update is around 69.00. This confirms many of the feedback comments on Amazon's site for this product. Sadly the customer comments about Garmin's customer service not being up to par is also true. I guess to avoid the hassle its probabaly better to find a local retailer and check the item in the store before you buy it.
