 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 The first one, a Gamin that was far cheaper, seemed out of date.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.
Lost no more June 15, 2008

I love my Nuvi 670. With a road trip in France and Spain planned, I chose the 670 because it has North American and Europe maps preinstalled. The plan worked well. I found this GPS to be very valuable in Europe particularly in Paris traffic.
Having used the Magellan system extensively in Hertz cars, I am familiar with this tool. The Nuvi 670 compares favorably in every category. The hands-free phone and the MP3 function work well. I highly recommend this item. However, there are a few negatives. Rarely, it will send you the wrong way on a one-way street. The traffic alerts have not been useful so far. Traffic is reported that has already cleared or traffic appears with no alert. I hope improved technology improves this function because I would find it valuable but not at the current standard. I also wish that the restaurants were kept more up-to-date.
better than i thought June 14, 2008

I used it in England recently, it took me to my destination without getting me lost I am not sure it was the quickest or shortest route. I went to destinations I have done many times before, it clearly took me a different way, occasionally thru a lot of small country roads. What I found amazing, was that it warned you every time there was a speed camera and the speed limit, which is very helpful.
the MP3 player is pretty descent.
The blue tooth quality of sound was poor.
Could not find list of airports which would be helpful, like the VZ blackberry phone GPS has.
