BE WARE- the POI are not correct!!!!! June 30, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I just got my 670 couple days ago and had used it but 2, 3 times. One of the perks of having this i thought, was so that i don't have to search for the addresses of museums, because the handy "Point of Interest" that comes preloaded in the unit. Was i wrong! After trusting it fully i end up somewhere in the ghetto where you would never want to venture in Los Angeles. I was lucky that it was still daytime, or else i would be very scared. after double checking the address i found the POI had a wrong zip code, and therefore leaded us astray. But how hard could it be to correct this error if the manufacturer do some double checking?! So from now on i still have to check the addresses of POIs on the computer to make sure they are right, which renders this feature semi-useless.
Otherwise it's being an Okay GPS unit in my book.

Very thorough navigation machine. However, it will divert you from a more established road due to traffic without advising you of the reason. I would rather be given the option.
 Great GPS June 19, 2008

This was my second GPS in two weeks. The first one, a Gamin that was far cheaper, seemed out of date. I sold that one to my kid sis and bought this one. The radio function does not work brilliantly but everything else does. It gets me out of traffic jams regularly in the NY metropolitan region. Its true test was a Friday before Memorial Day weekend and I was home in less than an hour! I was on roads I had never taken but it worked and worked better than I expected! A few times it has taken me down a ramp only to take me back up the next one but I think they all do that on occasion. I also used it in Europe briefly and it worked great there too!
Highly recommended June 17, 2008

Used this in Alaska for 10 days of travel and it provided directions flawlessly. It even knew hardly used roads that are well off the beaten path. It also located well using adresses or POIs selected from thier list. Good directions, sound, functions, visuals and is definitely small enough to take while walking or hiking. I have an installed system in my SUV and actually prefer this Garmin to it now.
Nice Device, but mapping software needs work June 15, 2008

I purchased the Garmin nuvi 670 GPS mainly for a trip I am taking to Europe this fall. However, I have used it on domestic travel, and my brother used it extensively while he came to visit me. The user interface is done really well. While I did read the manual, I figured out most of the functions without it. The screen is great, and the visual cues are very good. I am not sure white California has some stupid law that prevent me from using the windshield mount, but that is just as well. It only takes a minute amount of dirt on the suction cup to prevent it from sticking. The bean-bag dash mount is much better. Now from my only real gripe - The routing software makes some really dumb decisions. In the SF bay area, it constantly has you exit the freeway, just to get back on again. The just about drove my brother crazy. On the other had, without the GPS, he would have been hopelessly lost. It always got him to his destination, and even routed him around bad traffic.
The maps are not always up to date. The new car rental facility in Baltimore is not on the map. The POI feature also steered me towards a restaurant that was not there, it was an empty parking lot. I'll see how it does this fall in Europe. In short, It does a get you where you are going. The user interface is great, and the built in speaker is very good.
