Amazing Device December 23, 2007

This device it's amazing all the features work really good.
The only negative note is on the map's graphic which happens to be a little low defined, but after a little bit you get used to it.
 Nuvi 670 Disappointment from Garmin December 23, 2007
17 out of 21 found this review helpful
First of all I am generally a big Gamin fan. I am also an engineer.
My experience:
I have a garmin GNS430 in my Airplane, Another Garmin in my boat, I have GPS in my corvette and now I have the Nuvi 670. I have used the Hertz neverlost system extensively in USA and Europe, and have Microsoft streets and trips with a deluo transducer on my laptop.
- Cannot configure the time of arrival display (UNBELIEVABLE!) typical GPS allow you to change this to provide ETA, ETE, miles left etc..
- WILL NOT PROVIED LAT and LONGITUDE (UNBELIEVEABLE!) anybody with mulitple gps devices will want this... (It does appear to let you INPUT lat and long. to find a location)
- in any mode (ESPECIALLY "pedestrian") it does not provide a compas heading in degrees.... (only North or NW for example) <-- almost useless
- Every single other feature you have to pay extra for..
- FM transmission (car stereo connectivity) is weak
- MAPs do seem pretty accurate.. GPS location is pretty accurate (have not yet tried Europe)
-I am convinced the USB connection is 1.1 not USB 2 it is HORRIBlY SLOW..!!!! HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE! WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS?
- Has other good features like blue tooth to phone, MP3 playing (note avail interal memory is only about 1 GB - true it is expandable but all the other features need a special SD card occupying the slot to run - this means that if you have 4GB of MP3s in a SD card, you cant play them while having your dictionary available.. have to keep a bunch of cards handy and keep changing them.
Dictionary, language translation etc.. but all costs extra..
Which brings us to another point.. VERY EXPENSIVE.. In my opinion - not worth the money... I would seriously recommend Magellan (makers of the Hertz "Never Lost").. Overall: This item is a little too "dumbed down" for the masses..

Wow! We've had a GPS unit in an auto for a couple of years and needed a portable unit for an upcoming European trip. The 670 has both US and European maps. If the maps of Eurpoe are as good as what we have seen for the US, it will meet all of our needs. It is very easy to use. Navigation commands are clear and timely for driving. The displayed maps are easy to read and to change scale. Overall, this is an excellent unit and is much more capable that the fixed unit in the car.
 Who needs the pricey options?? December 7, 2007

I looked at all the Nuvi models. Unless you love gadgets and can deal with complicated add-ons there is no reason to buy anything more expensive than the Nuvi 650. No blue tooth, no crappy MSN and no FM radio (how stupid).
The 650's processor, GPS receiver, screen, case & battery are IDENTICALL to all of the more expensive Nuvi 6XX series.
Hey I love gadgets folks but we are not helping the people who read these reviews for some common sense answers to basic questions if we do not point out which models for basic functionality.
Originally I even questioned the larger 4.2" screen - Why?: because you should not be looking at the damn thing when your're driving. Set your destination before you start and just listen to the excellent voice instructions.
For those who just want a very good GPS navigator spend no more than what the 650 costs.
PS: I thought everyone already had a bluetooth headset for the cell phone?

Nuvi 670 Negotiating Narrow Medieval Streets of Italy November 30, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
Even if you are an experienced Indian tracker, after dark in a maze of cart-wide one way cobbled stone streets of Italy, without a Garmin your directional skills will be severely challenged. Despite some missed turns (my oversight), the Garmin performed admirably finding our way back to the Frascati train station and through the old Etruscan towns of Palestrina and Tarquinia. It is truly amazing to see the agility of the Garmin recalculating new routes through these mazes. Truthfully, without stopping to ask for directions, this trip would not have been possible without the nuvi. Thank you, Garmin.
I would strongly recommend the Nuvi 670, especially if you like to explore on your own. If you are searching out sites of antiquity, I would suggest that you enter these locations into the "Favorites" section prior to your trip.
Delighted new owner, Holly Fritch Kirby, M.D.
