Excellent quality. Easy to install and use. Directions given were better than my wife's $2,000 nav system!
 Very disappointed in Garmin customer support- It gets worse May 8, 2008

While the product works it came with outdated mapping software. They want $70 to update. It is only a week old I should not have to pay for an update. The battery is non-replaceable so call this thing disposable after it stops taking a charge. A lot of money for something you throw away. I paid extra for Bluetooth now find out it is not compatible with all phones. I think when the battery dies I will take the $70 and buy one their competitors. Hopefully they will have better customer service.
Update - They told me to return the Europe software and they would send me the US disc. I sent it to them unopened by certified mail over 2 months ago and they have done nothing. So now I don't have either. Would like to give Garmin Customer support zero stars. - Another update. After another email to Garmin with the tracking document attached they finally sent me the US update, 4 months later. If I hadn't pestered them I still wouldn't have it. They have done nothing to improve my opinion of them.
Lots of info in a little tiny box May 6, 2008

The nuvi 670 is quite good, I would highly recommend it. I have been able to use all of the navigation features, load and play music (MP3 files) through the built in speaker and through the car's FM radio without much effort at all (i.e. no instructions and success with little delay). So I'm big fan of whoever designed the human-machine interface I think they did a perfect job. It is both efficient and intuitive. The maps are unbelievably good, yet not perfect.
One limitation to keep in mind, the memory card slot is for SD cards, not SDHD cards. This wasn't a problem for me as I wasn't looking for more than 2GB of extra memory.
Excellent product May 5, 2008

This is an excellent GPS unit. So far I've been able to find locations in the POI database that weren't available in my Magellan unit (although this unit is supposed to have a broader POI's database).
The traffic feature is cool, but I hope it's coverage will increase fast enough. The blue tooth connectivity is probalby so far the best asset. I was really disapointed with the FM transmitter (I've tried all frequencies and I can hear more static in all of them that I can hear the actual sound being transmitted by the Unit (That's why I removed one star....)
Very Pleased Overall April 16, 2008

The Garmin nuvi 670 is the first GPS I've owned, I've used them in rental cars, but decided that since I travel so much, I needed to own one. I bought the 670 rather than the 660 although no trip to Europe is planned right now; the cost difference between the 660 and 670 was about $100, and Europe maps cost about $200.
The unit is great so far. Mapping works, although it doesn't know some recent roads. I travel alot, both in the city and in very rural (gravel road) areas. The routing in rural areas was weird - took me miles out of the way, but later I learned that the "avoid unpaved roads" was turned on. I've unchecked this option and will try again soon. Another weird routing decision was that it routed me one way to my destination and another way on the return trip. Despite these events, it gets me where I need to go and is an improvement on my total lack of direction.
I love audiobooks, and took advantage of the 3 free Audible books with the Garmin. They have a fantastic selection and I'm really thrilled to get bestsellers to listen to. My library has a good selection, but not too much really recent. Also the NY Times - really great to have the news read to me in the morning!
I thought I'd love the FM transmission feature - but I guess I didn't understand how it works. I can't listen to my car radio or CD player while its in FM transmission mode. So I don't use it much, except when I'm listening to something from Audible that I've loaded into the unit.
The best feature is the bluetooth. I don't have to take my phone out of my purse. I can make and receive calls so easily and its much safer than trying to hold the phone while driving. And I like it much better than the headphone I sometimes remembered to wear. My callers say that the sound quality is OK - not great, but as good as what I was doing before.
The TMC traffic is pretty useless - it has warned me about incidents that don't exist by the time I get to the area - and not warned me about other incidents - or rerouted me into major construction areas. I've heard MSN is better, but I'd have had to spend at least $100 more on a 7xx model, and I didn't think it was worth it for me.
The POI is really neat too - a mobile yellowpages. Really geat that I can also call with just a press of the button. Its just as helpful at home as on the road in unfamiliar places.
How did I get along before my GPS?
