Which nüvi is Best for You?: Click here to see a quick, simple comparison of features for all Garmin nuvi GPS navigators
The widescreen format gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push. FM Transmitter -- Hear Better, Hear More The nüvi 660 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps, including a hefty POI database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping. In addition, the nüvi 660 accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs Important note about map updates: Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our Garmin Store.Hands-Free Calling In more and more places, it is becoming illegal to use cell phones while driving without a hands-free kit. The nüvi 660's Bluetooth capability, microphone and speaker lets match it to any bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nüvi's touch screen keypad to make a call on a compatible phone. To answer an incoming call, just tap the screen and speak into the built-in microphone. Making and taking calls on the road has never been easier, or safer. In addition, Garmin makes it a breeze to look-up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or even tap into your cell phone's call history log. Integrated FM Traffic Receiver
Easy To Use Interface
Beyond Navigation
Navigation is just the beginning. The nüvi 660 features travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, MP3 player, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. It also comes with Garmin Lock, an anti-theft feature, and configurable vehicle icons that let you select car-shaped graphics to show your location on the map. This device is compatible with optional content plug-ins available via SD card, such as the Garmin Travel Guides and Garmin SaversGuide provide detailed data for attractions and information on nearby merchants offering discounts, so you can customize nüvi for your travel needs Garmin has also added the ability for customers to add custom points of interest (POI’s) from third parties such as school zones and safety cameras. Trick Your GPS Ride
With this GPS system on board you'll be prepared to steer clear of traffic with the integrated FM TMC traffic receiver. The nüvi 770 is designed to receive alerts about traffic tie-ups and road construction that might lie ahead on your route. All you have to do is simply touch the screen to view traffic details and you'll be ready to detour around any problem area. And if you end up missing a turn, or you're forced into a detour that is not relayed through the traffic receiver, the nüvi's sophisticated automatic routing will get you back on track in no time. What's in the Box Notes
Note: All nüvis come with detailed NAVTEQ maps containing more than 6 million pre-loaded point of interest locations.

Summary: Garmin We recently used it on a trip and it was great! My only complaint is that it takes you on odd routes: when traveling through small towns, it took me off the highway (which went straight through town) and put me on residential street with stop signs - the other thing in that the two-hour trip from city A to city B (which I take about once a month)takes me on the most unusual route - when I have it set for Fastest or Shortest Route (I went on MapQuest to see what their directions are and they agree with me). So basically, use this as a "guide", but still travel the old-fashioned way - use a map and your common sense. Summary: The Garmin 660 The 660 works well. The 4.3" screen is great. Entering addresses is not very intuiative. The biggest drawback is the TMC Clear Channel traffic service (horrendous). If you are buying this unit for the traffic updates get the 680 (MSN traffic). Summary: Excellent choice The Nuvi 660 worked excellent. It took it on our first long trip to Maine it did everything we asked it to do. The voice command was very easy to understand. If we missed a turn or decided to go a different way it recalculated in matter of seconds. We had to use the detour button once and it found an alternate route in 10 secs or less. I purchased an additional SD card (2gb) to put some music. You have to make sure it is in the correct format (mp3) or else it will not be seen. I had installed about 300 songs or so and it seemed to move very slowly when trying to play music. Going from the map to mp3 player there was a 5 sec delay. If you were just patient it works fine. Overall it is an excellent GPS system. Summary: Perfect for me Garmin nüvi 660 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator I live in Brazil, and I was vacationing in the States. My objective was to rent a car and admire the foliage during Oct/08 in NH, MA, CT and NY. This device proved to be key to the success of my trip. It made me feel safe. No matter what I did I knew it would bring me back home. This is a great feeling when you are wondering in a foreign country. Besides it connected whit my cell phone via Bluetooth and even served as a MP3 player using the car radio. What more could I ask for? Summary: How did I live without this? Great product. Just back from an RV trip to Southern Oregon where I used it extensively. Great bonus to be able to listen to books on the GPS while traveling! I've never had a GPS before, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but it delivers all the functionality promised, easy to read, easy to use. All good. |
