 Nuvi 670 June 2, 2007

In general, it works well. However, I am having trouble with the BlueTooth link to my Motorola Razr cellphone. It works fine when
I call out, but only answers properly about 50% of the time.
When it malfunctions, I can not hear the person calling, but they
can hear me. Also, it's not the easiest thing to figure out how
to make it drop the Bluetooth connection. So when it is acting up,
its hard to drive & drop the connection at the same time...
If you don't want to attach it to the windshield, you can buy the
dash top friction mount 010-10908-00. It has a ball mount which
connects directly to the socket mount that comes with the Nuvi.
So far it is working very well for me, does not move around on the
dash, and it is easy to set on the floor when I park the car.

I bought my Nuvi to take to Europe, which I did. The problems outweighed the joys by far. I was disappointed with the following. 1. Many streets in Rome, Florence and Paris (3 major European cities) were absent and not on the map. Also, many restaurants were not included in the section on Places to Eat. 2. Most of the time it took "forever" to contact the sattelite. I would stand in a Piazza waiting for up to 10 minutes for the transponder to connect with a sattelite so I could begin a search. 3. The batter was impractically short lived and could only be recharged in a car or in an electric socket. 4. I never knew which direction I was going in. There is no compass function which would tell me the way to my route.
I think the major problem here was that I was always on foot when I used this GPS. Even though I set it to the pedestrian setting, it tried to take me on streets that were appropriate for vehical travel. For a walker, I found this to be a total bust and a waste of money. I returned it when I got back to the U.S. and Amazon gave me a refund. Bravo to Amazon but thumbs down to Garmin. They need to do better.

This is the Best darn GPS on the market I tried the Garmin 3600 iQue and this is better by far. easy to use touch screen and it works like a charm. I also like the bluetooth hands free compatibility with my cell phone when I'm on the road.
We plan a trip to Europe and this GPS has European Maps. I mark this GPS a 5 star buy

The unit was bought for a holiday in Massachusetts in April 2007 and I'm glad I did. It made driving around so much easier.
And it seemed like a better idea compared to buying a US map for my Garmin iQue 3600 (European version).
Likes
-----
Ease of use. You don't need to consult the manual much.
The size of the display.
The speaker is loud enough.
USB interface to pc: with Windows XP the unit and the SD card in it are assigned drive letters and you can transfer pictures or mp3 files by "drag and drop". Lovely.
You don't have to select a specific postcode/city when looking for an address. You can make do with streetname and number, and then search the lot. A friend of mine has a unit (different brand) that forces a postcode/city selection, it really bugs him and I see why.
Bluetooth interface: Connected easily to my mobilephone (Motorola K1).
FM transmitter: I think I like it even though you have to choose GPS or radio, you can't have both.
It pauses the mp3-player when giving directions and it doesn't interrupt when you are on the phone (via Bluetooth, of course). Neat.
TMC: I like it and the equipment for it is not bulky.
Missing features
-----------------------------
Routes: I don't always agree on the suggested route. So give us routes or at least a few more via points (instead of just the one avaiable).
An example, with the iQue 3600 you can make a route and have it suggest the best order.
Track log: I miss the track log I have in my iQue 3600.
I want current speed on the map display. Speeding fines are up, authorities are less lenient (at least in DK) and my speedometer is very inaccurate.
It would be useful if you could customise the map display.
Configurability, overall: There is not enough. You can't make the unit individual to suit your taste.
Dislikes
--------
Danish letters: You never know beforehand when a name or word is spelled correctly or the Danish letters have been substituted for the two-letter equivalent. Fix that, please, Garmin.
Maps: Ran into problems around Logan Intl Airport, Boston, when I was pressed for time and later also in Denmark. (Tracklog might have helped a bit).
I don't think that map updates coming out once a year is often enough.
Gallery: "Slideshow" shows the pictures in the order you transferred them to the unit. You should have more choice here, e.g. order, size, date and random. Also, you should be able to control the interval between pictures.

I pick this one by the size of the screen and the fact that has the European map. We travel a lot and we go also to Europa so i'm hoping to use it there.
Buying thru Amazon i did get a better price than thru other online stores.
