 Great Item May 8, 2008
This unit has all the bells and whistles.....also had a great price....I've been using mine for about a month and love it.
Nice unit. May 5, 2008
Overall A good product.
Maps have some slight inaccuracies (dead end street near my house is shown as going through to the next cross street), but good detail generally.
Routing choices are very good, unlike some others that I've seen, this one doesn't gravitate to the freeway.
The MSN feature is a nice addition, but service for it is spotty, go to
( https://www.msndirect.com/Coverage/Coverage.aspx )
to check your coverage before you buy one specifically for this feature.
Unit doesn't take forever to locate itself maybe 30-45 seconds with clear view to the sky.
Bluetooth speaker phone is among the best i've heard. I can hear it clearly, and others can hear me well. (actually the mic is so sensitive I am sometimes asked to please stop yelling when I haven't started yet)
FM Transmitter is a little weak, I live just outside NYC and have a hard time finding a channel where the transmission doesn't get squashed.
Generally, I thought this was my best choice from my research, and still think so after having owned it a month.
I have other Garmin products, and in my mind, nothing else compares.
Best GPS money can buy April 16, 2008

If you've ever wanted an amazing GPS that can get you where you need to be aswell as easy to use right out of the box the Garmin Nuvi 680 is you only GPS. Great signals, great mapping and layout, helpful voice commands that actually help, auto re route if you miss your turn off etc. this little gem has it all. Never be lost or ask for directions again!
 Great but still has issues April 16, 2008

This is my second Garmin, my first is the 2720 street pilot. that is a good unit, but very bulky. This I liked because of the size and I assumed it would be far superior to my old unit. Our first use was when we flew to Oklahoma to drive a new motorhome back to California. It did not know about campgrounds that I passed on highway 40. It took me to restaurants that did not exists (actually into a residential neighborhood for a BBQ restaurant that did not exist.) It took us to gas station in California that the unit said were in the fields. As for the MSN direct, if it wasn't free, I would have cancelled it. You have to be in a city (that has service) for 2 to 3 days before it knew anything. In this day and age, that is pretty unacceptable. This is an 85 percent GPS. I love it 85 percent of the time, not exactly what I was expecting from Garmin. It also has a problem doing a route. When we were driving, I wanted to tell it where I wanted to stay along the route, you can't do that. You can only add one stop along the way. See those three stars up top of this review, remove one of them. This thing cost over $400.00 and should work better.
Pros. It is fast, you can see the screen all the time, it works on the California Delta.
This is my second unit, so it is not like I have to get used to using it. I am only telling you experience. And to be honest, I don't know how anyone can go without a GPS.

GPS Navigator - A Great Value April 15, 2008
I have driven from Richmond VA to North Chicago, Illinois as part of a job relocation. I used the Garmin not only in this effort but once there used it often to find local places. It works GREAT. Excellent visability in direct sunlight. During the darkness of the evening when driving in the horrendous I-90 Chicago traffic, I could not take my eyes off the road, but was able to very easily navigate with the voice instructions. I now use this Garmin in my wifes car. If she gets lost, it will very easily navigate her home. I strongly recommend buying this product.
