 Exceeded expectations June 8, 2007

I'll keep this brief. The 660 is an excellent unit for the size. The screen is very clear even in direct sun and easily seen. Routing is very accurate, POI database is good, lots of options to play around with. The directions are clear as is the voice promts and street names. The unit has yet to steer me wrong which is nice.
If you don't mind a smaller screen you get most of the same features in the 350 and its cheaper. If you want the traffic and larger screen go with the 660.
The 680 seems to be a waste but I have a PDA phone with full internet access to the MSN sub seemed redundent for me.

Purchased the garmin a little over a month ago and let me tell you probably one of the best purchases Ive ever made. I travel extensively and the nuvi has not let me down once. Even when traveling known routes put it in and itll tell you a better way to get there. Saves you money on fuel too. I've tried others factory systems, other manufacturers none can compare with speed, accuracy or setup which is no more than opening the box and turning it on. One of the best displays on any gps.If your looking for a gps look no further you have found the best in the nuvi 660.
Very Good GPS June 8, 2007

Just one word.. Excellent...
And I have only one issue with this.. When going out of a car parking area which is underground or some other place where there are no satellite reception, if the GPS is already switched on it takes a lot of time to connect to satellite. It happens only if you are going from a cold state or initial switch on. Solution is not to switch on the GPS while you are in such places. Drive to an open area and then start...
 Well worth the money .... June 8, 2007

I am a New Zealander and I used to have a Navman GPS to help support the NZ based company. But recently I moved to the USA and Navman have been having a few ups and downs, so decided to go with a Garmin. Actually my first GPS was a Garmin eTrex. Anyway, the Garmin interfaces are just so much more usable and perfect for an in car unit. That along with the Traffic reciever makes this unit perfect for me. The screen is the clearest i have ever seen & i like the bluetooth connectivity with my cellphone. Garmin have my vote going forward.
 Maybe the Maps are not as good in the SouthEast June 7, 2007

I have not been that impressed in the time I have used this. I have only used it in NC, SC, and GA and the results have been very mixed.
The Good:
Very easy to enter information
Very good graphics
Tons of features
When it works it is very slick
Fast recalucation
Nice points of interest database
Good voice commands
The problem is I have little faith in its directional ability. It will usually eventually get me to where I want to go but it makes some really bad mistakes on a very frequent basis (read at least half of the trips).
-It has tried to turn me the wrong way on one way streets and then stubbornly tried to turn me back onto those when I refused to make its turn.
-It has tried to get me to turn on streets that do not exist on multiple occasions.
-It has tried to get me to keep going on streets that dead end.
-It has tried to get me to bear left on the interstate when I have to bear right to get to a specific exit.
- It has said to take the southbound version of a highway while the screen has clearly said (and I needed to) take the northbound route.
-I've been on a fairly major highway (US 441) only to have it have no idea what road I was on and the graphic show me floating in the middle of nowhere between streets.
I've only had this a couple of weeks and I really don't have faith in it. Tried to show off this gizmo to friends and everytime it makes an embarrassing mistake. It always eventually gets me to where I want to go but man is it a painful process. Maybe the maps in the southeast just aren't anygood.
