 The best investment and toy I have ever bought June 8, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have been looking at the navigators for sometime. When they became small enough to carry is when I decided that it was time to take a serious look. I researched all of the current GPS systems out there. None of them were perfect by any stretch. The Garmin nuvi 660 seemed to have the fewest complaints. It performs well above my expectations. The 660 has made my travels a lot less stressful and it also saves money by not missing turns. With gas costing as much as it does, taking less time to find something saves money. I don't expect that the savings will make the GPS pay for itself. But not haveing to worry about how to get where I want to go with very little stress is worth the cost of the unit alone. The only complaint I have about the unit is that the unit isn't as updated as it could be (new roads and businesses). It hasn't been a problem so far. As with any tool a person uses to make things easier, a bit of common sense is needed to the job well. I don't expect that the nuvi 660 will think for anyone. Some of the reviewers I have read on this and other GPS's seem to think that this should be more than what it is. It is just a computer that uses satellites to let me know where I am and how to get where I want to go, that is all. And it does it very well.
 Reliable and easy to use June 8, 2007

Have used this GPS for three trips so far and it works like a charm. Very pleased with this unit. Screen is easy to see even in bright light. But for the price, I would have thought that the sound quality could be better.

THE POSITIVES: Easy to use, great display and step-by-step voice instructions. This is the first GPS system I have ever purchased, so I don't have anything to compare it to. It is great to have something to instuct me where to go and estimate how long it should take to reach my destination. It's worth not having to worry about getting lost in unfamiliar territory. If you take a wrong turn, it automatically re-routes you. I used to do Map Quest and Yahoo! Maps, so this saves me a lot of time. Another plus, Garmin customer service is excellent and friendly.
THE NEGATIVES: Not all the addresses are in the system. Even after downloading the recent and upgraded map versions, about 2 out of 10 addresses are not on the system, which is a bit frustrating. I don't find the traffic re-router very useful in the SF bay area. You get 3 free trial months with purchase, so you can try it out and see if it is worth it or not. When on the phone, the voice prompts and alerts can become a bit distracting/annoying.
I bought this particular unit because of all of the positive reviews and overall I am happy with the purchase and would buy it again. I have not used the blue tooth option because my phone is not compatible with the unit, nor have I tried the other features. Also, the internal antenna works great, so don't be persuaded to buy an additional external one--you don't need it. If you live in California and have to use the dash mount, the one that came in the box didn't stick to my dash, so Garmin sent me a bean-bag dash mount (free-of-charge) which works perfectly.
Exceeded expectations June 8, 2007

I'll keep this brief. The 660 is an excellent unit for the size. The screen is very clear even in direct sun and easily seen. Routing is very accurate, POI database is good, lots of options to play around with. The directions are clear as is the voice promts and street names. The unit has yet to steer me wrong which is nice.
If you don't mind a smaller screen you get most of the same features in the 350 and its cheaper. If you want the traffic and larger screen go with the 660.
The 680 seems to be a waste but I have a PDA phone with full internet access to the MSN sub seemed redundent for me.

Purchased the garmin a little over a month ago and let me tell you probably one of the best purchases Ive ever made. I travel extensively and the nuvi has not let me down once. Even when traveling known routes put it in and itll tell you a better way to get there. Saves you money on fuel too. I've tried others factory systems, other manufacturers none can compare with speed, accuracy or setup which is no more than opening the box and turning it on. One of the best displays on any gps.If your looking for a gps look no further you have found the best in the nuvi 660.
