 Great! September 29, 2008
Nuvi 660 is a great tool with a lot of great tools included in it. Bluetooth works great and the mapping is good,the roads are not all up to date. Nuvi 660 tells you where all the food, shopping, gas is on your route. And the projected arrival time is great as well. If you travel a lot the nuvi 660 is a great tool for your travels.
 One for me, one for Dad... September 29, 2008
As an Electronic Engineer (Broadcasting), of course I love the latest toys. My Nextel i58sr has GPS - to an extent - but I wanted something totally cool. I waited 'til I checked out most every brand, model, etc. & talked with friends and co-workers who had GPS's. I finally landed my choice on the Garmin 660 NA (North America). Reasons? The wide screen display, the SD card expansion slot, the mp3 player, the FM transmitter (neither of my cars have audio input) & the idea that I can expand this unit as I see fit; it has the capabilities to do so much more than "as purchased," but I didn't have to pay up front for features I may never need or want. Yes, for the most part (for me) a toy, but I love to take day or weekend road trips and I no longer have to be concerned about where my "no place in particular" excursions go. I always know where I am, what's around me, where I can grab grub, gas, lodging, etc. Plus, I can easily listen to my tunes if I want. I have numerous pix of my work, play, etc. on board, so it's easy to share cool stuff with friends & family.
As far as Dad goes, he has Stage One Alzheimer's. He once drove to Popeye's - which is about 2 miles from his house & got lost and didn't get back to his house for almost seven hours. I programmed ALL places he ever needs to go, he very quickly learned how to set up destinations while still in his driveway -- and SHOOM! Off he goes and "Jill" comes thru his stereo telling him where he is/should turn. The most important place in "Favorites" is "Home." He can now go pretty much anywhere and no one has to worry if he'll be able to find his way home!!!
Of course, other GPS units may suit your needs better. You might not need an mp3 player, JPEG viewer or the FM transmitter abilities. Assess your needs and do your research - so you don't under or overbuy. However, for a slightly above the middle range GPS, you can't go wrong with the Garmin 660. I love this thing!

Great Unit September 28, 2008

The Nuvi 660 is awesome!! Once I received my unit, I took the time to update the maps from the garmin website so that I would have the latest and greatest. I used it on a trip to the NC mountains a few days later. It amazes me how acurate it is. Others have complained that it takes too long to boot up, but I think they are just impaitent. I put mine onto the windshield bracket and before my truck can warm up, it's ready to go!!
The bluetooth and FM transmitter are great features of this unit!!! It paired right up with my Nokia cell phone and makes hands free conversation while driving a breeze!! I also added custom POI's of all the schools in my area using google maps and now I am always reminded when I am approaching a school zone!!
The 4.3 widescreen is awesome and if you are looking for a unit, I would highly recommend getting a widescreen. Do yourself a favor, get a widescreen.
I am very impressed with how quickly the 660 calculates and re-calculates routes. The voice prompted directions are clear and timed very well. It has a very large data base of POI's and the ability to play mp3's is another great feature.
I would highly recommend this unit to anyone who is looking for a great unit at a great price!!
Nuvi 660 Rocks! September 28, 2008
Just wanted to add my two bits about this unit. This is my first GPS and I love it. Works great throughout North America ( used it from Vancouver, BC, Canada to Lancaster, PA, USA ). Price on Amazon was very competitive and blew Canadian prices away like crazy.
Way to go Garmin September 27, 2008
An amazinlgly great product: easy to install, speaker system very clear, great mapping.
