 Good idea poor design poor implementation. April 14, 2007

I have had my Nuvi for approx 6 to 7 months and overall I am somewhat satified. Initally I could see no flaws it was perfect I recommend the Nuvi to 3 friends and they all bought one. First impression, features on the Nuvi 660 are without a doubt very cool and a step above everyone else. Now to the not so good stuff which is really a deal breaker for me. First after a month and half the unit locked up, my friends locked up after 2 weeks of light use. Once a nuvi locks up it has to be sent back to Garmin the reset does not work restarting it wont work nothing. We both had the same issues and our units where replaced with refurbished units. My second issue involves the suction cup which is insufficent to hold the Nuvi properly onto the glass. Do not use it at all cost. Every car that it has been placed in the suction cup has failed and the Nuvi to my horror has come falling back to earth each time. For between 600 to 1000 buck you would think they could provide a more secure mount. The Dashboard mount that I have purchased works well. The FM transmitter is not really a feature I would purchase the Nuvi for. If you live in a city the quality of the audio is poor at best. Bluetooth hand free communication is cool when it works and is not sending me false signals. BE VERY CAREFUL the nuvi has a small list of bluetooth enabled phones that it can work with very small. If I pair my phone with the Nuvi, I get continious ghost calls to my Nuvi every 3 to 8 minutes where I have to tell the nuvi to ignore or it will just keep ringing for a bit. I wish I could continue recommending the NUVI like I once did, but with all of the issues it's kind of a lemon. I have worked around most of the issues and it's acceptable to use with many of it's key selling points disabled so my recommendation would be to save some money and purchase a cheaper model with just gps. The Nuvi's bells and whistles are not worth the expense. I expect better from garmin really a let down.
 I can never go back to paper trails or maps again. April 13, 2007

This is truly a life saver! I was stuck in traffic, HOURS of traffic, and got off any ol exit, this thing recalculated the route and STILL got me home! I'd leave my husband for this gadget anyday! LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!
UPDATE: 6/17/07 - I lost the volume somehow, it just stopped working while enroute :( I've tried everything to get it to work. The only way I can hear directions is through the FM transmitter which I am not too fond of. I am not sure if I'm supposed to call Garmin or Amazon as there was no handbook with it explaining what to do if such a thing happens.... Very upsetting!
Amazon.com Purchase of Garmin Nuvi 660 April 13, 2007

The product is fantastic; however, the vendor Digitechdeals Amazon via the Amazon.com website was unsatisfactory. The product was not new and had been opened despite the website's description that it was a new product. The box was not sealed and the unit was not wrapped. It was quite obvious that the box had been opened. We chose to keep the product rather than send it back to the vendor to avoid a credit card charge and no product. So far, so good - however, I was an unhappy customer due to the buying experience. Recommendation: Great GPS unit but purchase it off the shelf!

The Nuvi 660 killed two birds with one stone. I had been wanting a navigator for travel. While searching for a way to play audio books on my car speakers (one hour commute), I came across the Nuvi 660 which does both as well as advertized. The Bluetooth feature works great listening to your party over your car speakers, but leaning over to my preferred mounting spot and yelling back at the internal microphone doesn't.

Unfortunately,comes with electronic format only.
What happen to people doesn't had any computer with printer ?
What I'm going to do when i need information regarding the navigator on my road trip ?
I only got this Garmin 660 few days, so far I'm very happy with it.
Except this lack of PRINT owner's manual !
This is a great gps, direct me without any confuss.
Got almost everything incluing a 3 months free trail of FM triffic message.
Garmin should incluing a owner's manual BOOKLET in this high end price gps!
