 Great GPS for use in the US and Europe July 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We purchased this unit specifically because it has maps for both North America and Europe. We used it in Italy and France as well as stateside. It performed very well on both continents. Just one, very minor consideration: in certain conditions like while driving with open windows the speaker on our unit was not loud enough even with the volume set at 100%. Overall, it is a great device.
 garmin nuvi 670 map updates July 22, 2008

I was ready to purchase a Garmin 670 on Amazon. The 670 has both European and USA maps. After reading customers reviews regarding the maps not being current on this item, and the hassle Garmin is giving customers, I decided to call Amazon's tech assistance. The customer rep was very knowledgeable and courteous, and confirmed that the 670 comes with outdated maps and you will have to call Garmin to get EITHER a free USA map update or a Europe update not both. Garmin will charge around 169.00 for the European map update. The usa update is around 69.00. This confirms many of the feedback comments on Amazon's site for this product. Sadly the customer comments about Garmin's customer service not being up to par is also true. I guess to avoid the hassle its probabaly better to find a local retailer and check the item in the store before you buy it.

We bought this for our trip to Europe. It has been unbelievable. We have been in the busiest cities and the smallest towns and it gets us everywhere. In Nottingham it got a little confused but so is everyone else! Also, in Baden-Baden it got us up a mountain, convinced that we were almost at our hotel. In fact, we were a block or so away but after 3 kilometers in a tunnel, we forgave "Hazel" for her missteps. Highly recommended for these crazy English back roads. The MP3, bluetooth and other features make it a killer unit.

This is a great GPS system. We are looking forward to using it in Europe as well as the US.
Nuvi in Italy July 21, 2008

Bought the Nuvi 670 for a trip to Italy. We were going to rent a GPS navigation from the car rental company but they wanted over $200 for the two weeks. Bought the Nuvi 670 for the balance of features plus US and Europe maps. Upgraded for free the Europe maps prior to leaving. Read several reviews prior to purchasing and had some concerns about the mapping ability based on others reviews. The ease of use is great. Very straight forward and logical. Setting destinations and finding locations has been a breeze. The one thing that others had concerns about has been that the Nuvi at times seems to select some strange routes to your destination. Now I did not read all of the directions but have tried several different settings to see what differences they make. The two most critical seem to be the choice between Fastest and Shortest route. Fastest seems to take into consideration more than just distance while shortest is just what it says. The shortest distance! Besides a couple of very interesting side trips the Nuvi has performed beautifully. I had no previous knowledge of the cities we visited and trusted the Nuvi almost entirely. I think that a paper map of the overall area would be a good recommendation so that you have a birdseye view of where you are trying to go prior to just motoring on. If not be prepared to let the Nuvi take you there. For the most part the device new the routes, one way streets and highways well. Recalculation is quick if you make a mistake and the zoom features are great. Other benefits are the wireless for your cellphone and the ability to have the sound transmitted to your radio via the fm transmitter. This helps if it is loud in the vehicle. I would recommend this product.
