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. |

This is truly a travel genie! I have used it for the past couple of days and find it very user friendly, fast and reliable. The larger screen is an asset and the voice commands are crystal clear.The bluetooth comaptibility is wonderful and I had no problems pairing the Nuvi660 with my Nokia E62. So far a great experience. Also fast & excellent service from GPSNOW! Hats off! |

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.

After receiving my Nuvi 660 I see why Garmin is still the leader in the GPS market, I have been a GPS fanatic since the first units came out many years ago, This latest model from Garmin is a combination of all the best of the best features, it is so easy to use anyone, I mean anyone can use it, not just the GPS feature but all the features, such as Bluetooth, mp3 player, picture veiwer, etc. This is the absolute finest GPS unit I have ever owned period. |

I've owned this unit for a few days now and it is unbelievable how accurate and technologically advanced this unit is compared to others. I recently tested a competitor's model that cost half as much, and it is true...you get what you pay for. I've since returned it and decided the 660 was the model to own. I also own a Garmin V and have used it for years so I should of stuck with garmin in the first place. The 660 has a great map interface and all the buttons are where they should be...meaning you don't have to dig six menus down to find what you are looking for. The directions to locations are on spot and the time to calibrate or re-route due to a detour is extremely short. I also love using the unit while not navigating to a location. While you drive it will indicate the name of upcoming streets and gives you a situational awareness of your surroundings. The bluetooth phone works great and the sound quality is awesome. Also the ability to transmit both phone and voice directions to your car stereo is the best I have ever experienced. The mp3 player is nice and mutes the song playing when the GPS voice gives directions as well. Bottom-line: The 660 is well made, designed, and performs brilliantly. The unit is worth every penny, don't waste your time buying an inferior, less expensive brand...you won't be happy with it! Also, I purchased this at 4:45pm online in Alabama and received it the next morning at 10:00 am. GPSNOW really lives up to its order by 5pm and receive it the next day! |
