Strength Screen size, brightness, ease-of-use Weakness Price Bottom Line A great GPS for on and off road and easy to read without detracting from your driving safety. The Factory Navigation Rival. Oddly Enough, It's Portable.

Written By stavesacre21 Date Written Jan 02 2008 Summary After having had my Nuvi 350 for only a matter of a month, I was finding myself more and more drawn towards the ever-growing aurora of the newest and more innovative Garmin out there…the 660. Little subtle differences had caught my attention, such as... Strength Clarity, Screen Size, Portability, FM transmitter, Integrated Traffic Receiver, Bluetooth Capable, Spoken Streets, Great Design Weakness Price, Battery Life, May Obstruct Visual Field, Minor Map Inconsistencies Bottom Line Rivaling not only the portable market, the 660 also gives most factory car navigation systems a run for their money. Pricey for a portable, but cheap in comparison! It's exactly what I wanted.......Well almost!

Written By scotiaguy Date Written Dec 11 2007 Summary Why this unit? I travel professionally, mostly within the U.S., occasionally to Canada, and very occasionally overseas. I need to know where I am, where I"m going, and how to get there. I want to listen to music of my choice, and I need to keep... Strength An almost complete unit for the road warrior. Small, elegant, and feature packed. Weakness Bluetooth handsfree is useless on all but a few phones. It's expensive. Bottom Line If the Bluetooth worked easily with any phone, it would be nearly perfect. Without it, it loses a star. From Nuvi 350 to a 660 - Mixed feeling

Since I loved the Nuvi so much, I replaced it with another, but this time with the 660 for its bigger screen. WHY NAVIGATION If you still aren't convinced about nav systems, here's my brief schpiel. I... Strength Best screen/interface, optimized for driving/pedestrian usage, high "usability" Weakness Expensive, theft prone, no power user features Bottom Line Nuvi series are the most usable (optimized) driving/pedestrian nav systems, 660 has wonderful big screen.

Initial signal acquisition sometimes can take 5-10min other times it pretty quick 1-3min (not sure what its dependent on). Once it acquires the signal direction routing is fast, and if you miss a... Strength Large bright display, text to voice, bluetooth, portable (built in battery), slim outside case Weakness Hands free is lousy, expensive, traffic updates are useless, not MAC friendly Bottom Line Good product, text to voice is great, bluetooth. Great GPS but can be noise sensitive

Written By illesg Date Written Feb 03 2008 Summary The 660 we bought worked really great - until we turned on the ignition switch in our 2007 Volvo.

Strength All the good stuff that Garmin is famous for Weakness Noise sensitive, might need auxiliary antenna ($30) Great GPS but minor problems

Written By betacopy Date Written Apr 17 2008 Summary This is a great improvement from my last GPS. I won't even compare to it since that was an old gps. I love this GPS. So great to have traffic updates and bluetooth for my phone. Great for finding POIs, but not completely up to date even though I have the... Strength Big easy to read screen; good text to speech. Weakness Temporary bluetooth problems; radio transmitter is weak. It's The Best

Written By albarro Date Written Jun 12 2008 Summary It would be difficult for me to rave enough about the Garmin 660, which I selected because it was GPS Magazine's GPS of the year. Simply put: it works. That's saying a lot for an electronic device, inasmuch as almost all that I buy come replete with... Strength It works. Weakness Couldn't listen to commands through my car FM radio.  |
