 This is Fantastic!! December 27, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I got this for my husband for christmas and really just have to get one for myself now. It is so intuitive and functional, we didn't read any instructions but just started playing around with it and it works great. The text to speech function is a must have, I haven't hooked up the traffic function yet, that will be next. My husband drives great distances so I thought this would be very helpful for him, I usually remain fairly local, staying within our own county. But I had it in my bag to play around and figure out how to work it and it came in handy for me on day one: it was after 5 pm but I needed to get a business letter sent for delivery the next day, I started in my car from my work to go to a fedex location I know of via a highway, heard on the radio that traffic was terrible but the only other way I knew was really out of the way and much much longer and I didn't know what time the place closed. I didn't know the address, I just knew it was somewhere along a certain street. Pulled out the GPS, used my finger to drag the map to where the street was, zoomed in to around where I needed to be and set that area as the "where to?" It was dark and raining pretty hard so it would have been hard to follow written directions but good old Garmin took me through some back roads I didn't even know about with ease and I got to the place in good time and got the letter out. Just marvelous, we are going away this weekend and can hardly wait to use it and test the traffic feature. This was not cheap but its well worth it to have something that works so great, you'll use it every day even if you think you don't really need it.
4th Garmin Product December 27, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is my 4th Garmin product. My first was a Garmin V, though it did a good job I found it slow to recalculate, the next ones were garmin 2610 and 2730, great products. I also have a Garmin c330 I use at work. This new Nuvi 660 has a ton of features, all of which work quite well. It would be nice to have the ability to avoid roads by tapping on written routes and a more powerful fm modulator. Other then that the unit is great. I got a great price from Amazon, quick delivery. Overall a great product for moving from car to car.

Nuvi 660 Rocks! December 26, 2007

I purchased the 660 over the Thanksgiving holidays when prices were nearly 50% off; Amazon did an outstanding job with timely shipping. Here are some quick notes for your consideration:
- The portability is impressive; slip it into the carrying case and then into a back pocket of your jeans; likewise, it would also fit elegantly into a ladies purse--don't make the mistake of leaving the 660 in the center console while away from the car--potential thieves can see suction cup marks and figure most of us are lazy enough to leave the unit in the car.
- The 660 package has everything you need accessory-wise, including USB connection to your computer, 110V connection for recharge, cigarette lighter adapter for the vehicle and a carrying case--you don't need to buy the carrying case when prompted by Amazon as you check out. I fell for the prompt and now have an extra carrying case :(
- My family immediately had the opportunity to give the 660 a shake-down in the Orlando area during a one-week vacation. Again, it performed superbly, with a few exceptions:
- On 3 occasions, the 660 steered us to addresses (Publix Supermarket, Hard Rock Cafe, & a Sprint dealership) that were non-existent. Lesson learned: Verify by phone before you travel to your destination first!
- The recalcuate route function works well when you deviate from highlighted route, although the female voice sounds pissed when she says "recalculating" :)
- The Bluetooth function works well. People I called from the vehicle reported poor sound quality from the microphone built into the 660. What was really cool is that the unit links with your phone's address book--the voice-activated dial unit works very well also.
- The function that allows you to route instructions into the vehicle's FM radio was marginal--lots of static and low volume. The internal volume is sufficient.
- The subscription service for traffic reporting worked to perfection--as we were returning to our hotel, the yellow diamond indicating a delay popped up. Using the re-route option, we took the detour that was recommended and ended up at our destination quickly.
- Although the service is supposedly in use for the Washington DC area, I've not seen a single alert in a month and don't plan on subscribing when the trial period expires.
BOTTOM LINE: I'm very happy with the Nuvi 660, would buy it again, and would highly recommend purchase to my friends, relatives, and acquaintances!

Garmin nüvi 660 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator Used this baby the first day i got it traveling upstate It was dead on and got me to both of my destinations without a mistake.
Using the FM transmitter was not fun because i have satellite radio and it does not integrate so you must stay tuned to the FM frequency if you want it thru the car stereo.
Also directions were poor reguarding setting up for traffic alerts.
Other wise great price and delivery at Amazon as promised.
