	Great Little Unit! (5/5)	Nov 4, 2006	Ted Yang	Chicago IL US
	This is definitely the nicest looking unit out there with a nice big screen. For the price you can't beat the form factor. Usability was great with a very easy to figure out interface. FM transmitter worked great and I love the included mp3 player. Really makes the unit fully functional. Mapping/route finding was excellent - the unit even found some back alleys in my own neighborhood! Also included traffic is pretty cool but not as useful as it might be. The biggest issue with the unit was that it is a bit slow to pick up reception. Not sure if all units in my area have this problem and I will try this in different parts of the country soon and see if it works better. Overall if you are looking for a higher end unit with more functionality but not full blown 1k+ you can't go wrong.
	Awesome. (5/5)	Dec 27, 2006	Sam Winans	Austin TX US
	I've driven from Texas to Indiana to Virginia to New York with this Nuvi - and it is a God Send. I literally took it out of the store, mounted it on my dash in the parking lot and was on my way navigating around town. The interface is incredibly simple - although it took me a minute to realize all of the Points of Interest (gas, food, lodging) are tucked under the "Where To" area under Food, Lodging. That's not a complaint though, I just refused to open the manual. The voice directions are useful in town, but out on the highway, I often miss them because I'm listening to my stereo; making a wrong turn can actually be fun now since you know you won't get lost - you just have to listen to the Nuvi say "Recalculating" around 5 times...fair punishment for not following the ridiculously simple directions it gives. After owning the Nuvi for a while, I've taken the paper maps out of my truck. Even in small rural towns, maps are available on the Nuvi. Bluetooth is great, my phone book loaded right up on the screen allowing me to call straight from the unit by scrolling through my contacts. Traffic and construction updates posted around Indianapolis and the unit even re-routed me around construction traffic. I'm not crazy about paying $60.00 a year for traffic updates on the FM receiver though - I plan to keep skipping that one. The only problems I've had with the Nuvi are with the dashmount - it's a little tricky to get it off when you want to stow it; I've dropped the unit a few times already. I highly recommend the unit to anyone. Although it's a little pricey, it is definitely worth the difference in cost over other units that are not as complete and reliable. I love my Nuvi.
	Outstanding Equipment (5/5)	Jun 13, 2007	Larry Frieders, R.Ph.	Aurora IL US
	Exceeds expectations. It is a handy device that is far better than the GPS in my newer Lexus. I use it in the car and when walking through the city. The battery life is excellent. Accurate and reliable.
	extremely accurate (5/5)	Nov 14, 2006	Anna Martin	Antioch Ca US
	We have had our Nuvi 660 for just a few days. Used it once and found it to be extremely accurate. We got a kick out of the voice, at one point thought she might have gotten a little testy because she had to "recalculate". We hope that it will continue to get us where we want to go.
	Frequent User (5/5)	Dec 9, 2006	Dan	VA
	Purchased and arrived on time, no hassles on purchasing, operated upon receipt and the features are second to none. Extremely easy to learn to use right of the box. No decision to be done in purchasing this unit..you will realize how much of a silly wabbit you have been waiting so long!
