 Excellent System for US and Europe! June 5, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I received this product as a gift as we were heading to Europe for vacation, and I could not be more pleased with it. We used the 670 in Germany, Switzerland, and Italy with the greatest of ease. Driving in a different country always comes with its challenges, but the 670 made it effortless. I have been telling everyone how great it has been since it even gave you warnings about entering a round-about, and which exit to take once in.
In addition to driving directions we also used it in pedestrian mode within the cities. It has the capability to even take you through parks on pedestrian only roads.
Since I got back, I have used its traffic capability to get to destinations faster and have not been disappointed yet.
I would highly recommend this system to anyone looking for a GPS!
Garmin nuvi 670 review June 5, 2008
I've had a Garmin Quest for many years and have used it throughout the U.S. and Europe on many trips. I bought the Nuvi 670 for my other cars. It has improved antenna sensitivity to work better in a city environment, pre-loaded U.S. and European maps, clearer and enhanced voice instructions as well as blue tooth and other features make this a really enjoyable and useful product.

GPS For Italy and France June 3, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I purchased this unit specifically to use in Italy and France. I drove from Rome to Venice then used it in pedestrian or taxi mode while in France. Overall the system was extremely useful and worth the investment. (I did notice that taxi drivers exclusively used the TomTom but not sure which model). The GPS was helpful when taking taxis because it eliminated communication barriers. It was easy to attach to the rental car and convenient to carry and use while walking.
There are a few drawbacks: The battery life was definitely shorter than what is advertised. Pedestrian mode can be confusing. It was great to use when trying to find a restaurant or point of interest but the signal was often lost. I noticed that when when we missed a turn the system did not reroute very efficiently. Several times we had to stop driving and reset the system. The GPS is helpful but sometimes a paper map was still necessary. There is room for improvement but I would not drive in Europe without a GPS and this unit did a very good job.
In general a better guide than my wife - even she agrees! June 2, 2008

We bought the Garmin to use here in N.A. as well as in Europe. It worked well beyond my expectation during our recent trip to Sonoma, Napa, and San Fransisco. Rarely did it fail to guide us in the right direction. We could go to places after dark and return with no concern through roads we were not familiar with. We were pleased with our decision to get the 4.3 inch screen. The suction cup stuck to to our rental Prius' windshield so well that I was able to use the touch screen without any problem. I was unable to play the music tracks I copied to the unit hoping it would function like an MP3. If the pre-loaded maps for Spain work just as well when we're there next week, this Garmin will qualify as one of my better purchases. Otherwise I'll write a brief update after our trip to tell you what went wrong.

Well, we're back from Spain. Here is a summary of our experience with the Garmin:
It navigated us from Madrid to Segovia with no difficulty but got completely confused in Segovia to find our hotel. As we drove from Segovia to Toledo, the Garmin was lost again due to the many new roads/highways. It had no idea where the new section of the highway A42 was and failed miserably to take us to A4. Once we managed to get on A4 it guided us to Granada with no problem. Remarkably, it did a wondeful job in taking us through the very narrow streets of the old town Albayzin all the way to our hotel. The Garmin had no idea about some addresses, roads, highways etc. while in general it new exactly where we were. I suspect the reason was that it was not pre-loaded with the most up to date information. Since I purchased the unit in May it should have been current. I have to reduce my rating to 3.5 stars.
