 Gamin Nuvii May 21, 2007

This a very easy to use intuitive product although the maps are not 100% accurate
 It's worth the extra money! May 20, 2007

PRO's:1] Large 4.3 inch screen
2] Intuitive interface
3] Compact and light
4] Vibrant display
5] Screen does not wash-out in sunlight
6] Clear and loud voice commands
CON's:1] Battery life was disappointing. Fully charged, my brand new Nuvi 660 lasted only about 1 hour. However, I must admit that I was interrogating all the different functions in this unit during the time. This may account for the short life. Left alone while I was driving, the Nuvi 660 lasted nearly 2 hours until I had to recharge.
2] Bluetooth does not pair with my Verizon Wireless LG VX 8300. In fact, the Nuvi guide admits that it pairs with only certain cell phone models. Buyers beware.
3] FM Transmitter is highly overrated. Lot's of static comes through the speakers even though I was able to find an unused FM station. But, this is the case with FM transmitters in general and not just with the Nuvi 660. This feature should not be the selling point for this device.
I did my homework prior to buying the Nuvi 660 and I have to say that I am very pleased. I live in Fairbanks, Alaska and even in a remote place like this I found the map and Point of Interests (POI's) very accurate. Maps of Europe is available for purchase from Garmin; but I was disappointed to hear that it costs $299! However, this doesn't take away from the fact that this is a great GPS unit. Also, I purchased the bean-bag dashboard mount (aka friction mount). I was skeptical at first, but sure enough this bean-bag holds the Nuvi in place even during sharp turns. Finally, the big question is, is the Nuvi 660 worth paying an extra $200 over his little brother the Nuvi 360 (3.5 in screen)? I argue that it is worth it! You get an extra 0.8 diagonal inches of screen which translates to more details on the map at any given zoom-level. Why are 60 inch plasma screens more desirable than 50 inch plasmas? I would like to give the Nuvi 660 five-stars but the short battery life and inadequate Bluetooth forces me to give it only four-stars.

The maps are very impressive in some ways, but a lot of locations are as much as 0.5 miles from their actual location on the map. The location of the car is good, but the map itself is faulty.
The gap is enough to cause the gps navigator to direct you to a completely different place.
I assume this can be rectified by ordering updated map sets from Garmin, but it sucks that I have to spend more money immediately.

The Garmin Nuvi 660 Pocket Vehicle GPS Navigator is a fantastic device. I was amazed at how easy it was to use right out of the box. I highly recommend this device to anyone who is looking for a portable GPS. It's the best.

The product is excellent. So much so I bought one for my daughter and then bought Garman stock. I keep finding new things it will do. Very accurate, unlike my spelling. I would recommend it.
