 1 Flaw, in an otherwise Flawless Product July 31, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is the ultimate GPS. I have the msn direct working great, I have the GPS working great, all these things going right and one small issue that wont affect most people. If you are a Treo 700P user, the bluetooth has an error, that displays the last number called instead of the current number called. Called Garmin, they say no fix in place. But with the exception of that one thing, this is hands down the greatest GPS I have ever touched. Big bright screen, responsive buttons, accurate mapping, voices that pronounce correctly(tom tom users eat your heart out). I considered the 660 but for a year of MSN Direct and its features, it was clearly worth it.
UPDATE!!!!!
If you update Sprint phone software for the treo 700p to 1.10 your bluetooth issue will go away.
Great system July 30, 2007
We love our GPS system however does have some hiccups with the directions. There are some places for what is around you that have gone out of business for years and have not been updated. New businesses are not updated either. At times it does take you a longer way instead of the shortest. But all in all good product. Easy to use. Love the bluetooth feature.
 MSN Direct service ruins this equipment July 29, 2007

This unit is beautiful to look at but has major flaws in the MSN Direct implementation. I bought this unit mainly for the Traffic feature - which has proved useless and terrible.
PROS:
* Big beautiful screen.
* Speakerphone is excellent, although Bluetooth can be buggy.
* Satellite acquisition is very fast.
CONS:
* Before you purchase, do a search to see if your area is covered by MSN Direct - and do NOT trust the MSN maps on their website. Coverage in NYC, NJ, and Staten Island is terrible - basically non-existent and useless - even though the MSN Direct website shows full coverage. I am on my third MSN Direct receiver after being sent 2 replacement cables by Garmin, and all three have had the same issues. California seems better.
* MSN Direct Traffic (when it is actually receivable) content is often completely wrong in and around New York City - particularly on weekends, and especially for the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels.
* Charger cable needs to basically be attached to the unit (which is only possible by using the vehicle mount) continually for content to be updated. This makes removal from the vehicle undesirable in order to get updated content, but of course leaving the unit in the car raises that danger of theft. A catch-22.
* If the charger is disconnected from the Nuvi unit for more than a day or two, a reconnection process appears to take place and the Nuvi does not have new usable information for 20-30 minutes.
* Cannot program custom avoidances for undesirable roads/areas.
* No saving of routes.
SUMMARY:
The unit looks beautiful, but it's features are sorely lacking and definitely not worth the premium price charged for the MSN content.
overall good July 25, 2007

all features great and worth extra $ for this model. The map logic seems off on some routes but always gets you there. I think that is common in gps. Sound quality and volume good. Power not in GPS mode good,but drains fast if not plugged in your car.

Awesome product. I have both the Nuvi 680 and the 350. I think the 350 is a much better value. The screen size difference (Nuvi 680 is 1 inch larger)is nice. The other bells and whistles on the 680,unless you live in your car 24/7 are not worth the significant price increase.
