 Frustrations with Garmin May 25, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I have had no problems with this impressive device but experienced considerable frustration with Garmin support in obtaining appropriate map updates. Ordered in late May 2008 it came with old maps. Although new updates for the US and European maps were initially promised by phone when I registered it with Garmin, only the soon to be outdated European map was eventually received. Several hours and several calls to support yielded entirely different and conflicting answers to why I wasn't going to get new updates. Eventually, one helpful support person agreed to take the risk in sending the previously promised updated US map for which I am anxiously awaiting receipt. The soon to be released updated European map for my month old devise will have to be purchased. So, if you want a devise with updated maps I suggest you hold off on ordering this model regardless of what Garmin may tell you. I personally believe a newly purchased devise should come with a hassle-free guarantee of free updates on a more liberal basis than Garmin appears to offer.
 Great GPS if you need Europe - just update May 23, 2008

The 670 is the same as the 660 except that it includes the Europe maps. If you want Europe it is cheaper to buy the 670. My unit came with older versions of both North America and Europe. When I registered on the Garmin website to get both updates, it told me I could only get one for free and would have to pay for the other. I called tech support and complained, since I already paid the premium for the 670 and therefore expect to have fully up-to-date maps of both North America and Europe. Garmin said that although this is their policy, they will gladly provide both updates for free. I downloaded the North America update, and they sent me the DVD for Europe at no charge. I suggest anyone buying this unit do the same.
 Garmin's Tech support sucks, overpriced outdated maps May 20, 2008

this 670 had a deffective battery, which was discovered the second time we used it. No support over the weekend, so 4 days of the trip required maps only, purchased at a filling station, WORTHLESS. Then a 2 hour hold and 30 minutes with the tech to get a Return Authorization. I must pay to return a new DOA $500 GPS, and await a repair or replacement. Secondly I purchased this unit because of the pre-loaded European Maps, HOWEVER the loaded maps are outdated but new ones will be sent to me AT NO CHARGE in 4 to 6 weeks. Third the window mount is pitiful, will not hold and the unit constantly fall off, luckily into my wife's hands. One day it will hit something and then the screen will break and that is the end. Fourth cannot change destination while using. You must exit GPS add address and then re-boot. Krazy and very bad!!!Garmin must be just too good at selling, because there is absolutely no company in today's fast paced World that will survive with this lack of speedy resolution to a NEW & DOA product failure. Garmin charges for everything. The city guides installed are minimal and you must purchase detailed ones AT ADDITIONAL COST. The GPS chip costs about $1 the 670 had 2 GB of internal memory $5 so what are the outdated maps and minimal city guides really worth. I have used a co-pilot with mu Sony laptop for years great European maps detailed city etc. Garmin is now my very expensive and worthless dash decoration.
Not Bad May 20, 2008

I'm no expert on GPS, but I like the system so far. I just need to learn how to use the darn thing. One thing I don't like is not being able to just push a button to remember a location. The Garmin may have such an option, but I haven't figured it out yet if it does. The 4.3 screen is big enough and the volume is adequate enough to be heard under most driving conditions. I especially like the ability to enter coordinates. Since I live in Germany and if I don't know an address, or I can't spell it correctly, I go on google earth and find what I want and then input the coordinates and it takes me directly there.
Great product May 18, 2008

I got this GPS to upgrade my Nuvi 350 and I am very pleased with it. The traffic information is just great. Also the big screen is good too.I love it!
