Great Gadget Man what a Gadget-- I've used GPS for years-- but this is unbelievable. The telephone Blue Tooth interface if worth the price in it's self. Haven't tried it in Europe yet, but in the States it's flawless--
p.s. -- be sure and buy the holder off Ebay that mounts on the AC vent-- this is alot better than sticking on windshield-- gets it down where you need it for phone use.
enjoy--- you'll love it.

Garmin..Simply the best I bought this model because it comes preloaded with US, Canada and Europe. My wife and I have been many places where we have put several extra miles on a car and hours on the clock going back and forth trying to narrow down the place we want to be. (we Now joke about it but it wasn't funny at the time) We wonder now, why no one we knew told us about this little device for so long. I don't know how current the maps are I suppose I could find out if I investigated it a bit, but so far we haven't b...

BE WARE- the POI are not correct!!!!! I just got my 670 couple days ago and had used it but 2, 3 times. One of the perks of having this i thought, was so that i don't have to search for the addresses of museums, because the handy "Point of Interest" that comes preloaded in the unit. Was i wrong! After trusting it fully i end up somewhere in the ghetto where you would never want to venture in Los Angeles. I was lucky that it was still daytime, or else i would be very scared. after double checking the address i found the POI had a wro...

Excellent Very thorough navigation machine. However, it will divert you from a more established road due to traffic without advising you of the reason. I would rather be given the option.

Great GPS This was my second GPS in two weeks. The first one, a Gamin that was far cheaper, seemed out of date. I sold that one to my kid sis and bought this one. The radio function does not work brilliantly but everything else does. It gets me out of traffic jams regularly in the NY metropolitan region. Its true test was a Friday before Memorial Day weekend and I was home in less than an hour! I was on roads I had never taken but it worked and worked better than I expected! A few times it has take...

Highly recommended Used this in Alaska for 10 days of travel and it provided directions flawlessly. It even knew hardly used roads that are well off the beaten path. It also located well using adresses or POIs selected from thier list. Good directions, sound, functions, visuals and is definitely small enough to take while walking or hiking. I have an installed system in my SUV and actually prefer this Garmin to it now.

Lost no more I love my Nuvi 670. With a road trip in France and Spain planned, I chose the 670 because it has North American and Europe maps preinstalled. The plan worked well. I found this GPS to be very valuable in Europe particularly in Paris traffic.
Having used the Magellan system extensively in Hertz cars, I am familiar with this tool. The Nuvi 670 compares favorably in every category. The hands-free phone and the MP3 function work well. I highly recommend this item. However, there are a ...

Nice Device, but mapping software needs work I purchased the Garmin nuvi 670 GPS mainly for a trip I am taking to Europe this fall. However, I have used it on domestic travel, and my brother used it extensively while he came to visit me. The user interface is done really well. While I did read the manual, I figured out most of the functions without it. The screen is great, and the visual cues are very good. I am not sure white California has some stupid law that prevent me from using the windshield mount, but that is just as well. It o...

better than i thought I used it in England recently, it took me to my destination without getting me lost I am not sure it was the quickest or shortest route. I went to destinations I have done many times before, it clearly took me a different way, occasionally thru a lot of small country roads. What I found amazing, was that it warned you every time there was a speed camera and the speed limit, which is very helpful. the MP3 player is pretty descent. The blue tooth quality of sound was poor. Could...

Does what it's supposed to - really well I recently used this GPS on a trip to London, Madrid, and then Milan. In every case it locked a satellite signal in no time and had me navigating the convoluted streets in the center of town in Madrid and Milan! I was also nicely surprised when the "safety camera" feature popped up during a jaunt in England as we were traveling outside of London. Everything was worked great.
About the only 2 negatives I could offer for this unit is that the software connecting it to the PC is not so...

Garmin Nuvi 670 - Excellent I bought this GPS for my wife's european travels. She loves it while traveling on foot, train, taxi, car. I also bought the Language Guide, which has been useful. The portability/size is perfect with an excellent display size and intuitive interface. It fits in her purse. While using it in her car it works very well with her bluetooth Razor phone, so she is hands-free to talk. It plays stored MP3 files and audio books through it's FM transmitter over her car stereo. All in all one of the ...

Garmin Nuvi 670 Great GPS! Very impressed with the mapping, routing, re-routing, features, size, etc. Package includes lots of goodies. Contrary to other reviews, there is a built in compass but it is simple, no arrow (N, NE, NW, S, SE, etc.) A few small complaints the same as many other reviewers. Huge oversight the POI's (Favorites) are not put in alphabetical order. Owners manual is not thorough enough- left out a lot of information and capabilities (figure out more by playing w/ GPS than reading manual...

Item listed as Trijicon TA31RCM150 Trijicon ACOG Rifle Combat Optic Rifle Scope 4X 32 Red Chevron Matte BAC-M150 List Price: $1,450.00 Price: $34.99 You Save: $1,415.01 (98%) I have seen deals on these scopes before (I also purchased them) and Optics Planet is not honoring the order, saying it is a case, not the scope and telling me that it is my problem and they will send me an "RMA" if I would like. ...

A Good GPS This was my first GPS purchase and I've been pleased with it so far. The turn-by-turn directions are usually spot-on, especially if you input a manual address. My only major complaint is that the Points of Interest (POI) database is ridiculously out of date. I tried to use it to find a gas station in an unfamiliar area and it took me to a shut down gas station and then to a house that looked like it used to be a gas station. I finally came across a gas station that wasn't even in the POI dat...

Garmin nuvi 670 in Europe (France/Germany) I recently bought this unit because it has maps for the US and Europe builtin. Since I was planning on using the unit in Europe this summer, that is a much cheaper option than having to buy the European (or US) maps separately. I used it a bit in the US, where it consistently gave me reasonable routes, although, as at least one person mentioned, it occasionally will tell you to get off an interstate, and then immediately tell you to get back on it. I found that I had to zoom out a bit so that...

Excellent System for US and Europe! I received this product as a gift as we were heading to Europe for vacation, and I could not be more pleased with it. We used the 670 in Germany, Switzerland, and Italy with the greatest of ease. Driving in a different country always comes with its challenges, but the 670 made it effortless. I have been telling everyone how great it has been since it even gave you warnings about entering a round-about, and which exit to take once in.
In addition to driving directions we also used ...

Garmin nuvi 670 review I've had a Garmin Quest for many years and have used it throughout the U.S. and Europe on many trips. I bought the Nuvi 670 for my other cars. It has improved antenna sensitivity to work better in a city environment, pre-loaded U.S. and European maps, clearer and enhanced voice instructions as well as blue tooth and other features make this a really enjoyable and useful product.

GPS For Italy and France I purchased this unit specifically to use in Italy and France. I drove from Rome to Venice then used it in pedestrian or taxi mode while in France. Overall the system was extremely useful and worth the investment. (I did notice that taxi drivers exclusively used the TomTom but not sure which model). The GPS was helpful when taking taxis because it eliminated communication barriers. It was easy to attach to the rental car and convenient to carry and use while walking.
There are...

In general a better guide than my wife - even she agrees! We bought the Garmin to use here in N.A. as well as in Europe. It worked well beyond my expectation during our recent trip to Sonoma, Napa, and San Fransisco. Rarely did it fail to guide us in the right direction. We could go to places after dark and return with no concern through roads we were not familiar with. We were pleased with our decision to get the 4.3 inch screen. The suction cup stuck to to our rental Prius' windshield so well that I was able to use the touch screen without any probl...

Beware of cost of updates - opnly one free update offered I purhcased the nuvi 670 from Amazon several weeks ago and I was hapy with the unit until I checked to see if there were map updates avaialable from Garmin. Garmin's website stated that map updates were available for Europe and North America, but only one update was free. So I spent all this money on a International GPS unit only to end up with one map being out of date. When I received the unit it had a 2006 maps for Europe and 2008 maps fo North America. There were updated versions of both...

A lifesaver ! I bought this for my husband for father's day and decided to give it to him early as we were headed to Boston for Memorial Day weekend. We rented a car and were off in the city and all surrounding areas without so much as a hitch. This is a lifesaver for anyone traveling in new areas. Helps to make you a more adventurous traveler.

Garmin Nuvi 670 I purchased the Garmin Nuvi 670 for a trip to Ireland where it worked very well. The only complaint I have about the Garmin is that the battery doesn't hold a charge for very long and fails before the meter says that it is drained. Despite the battery, I found the Garmin brand to be the best GPS on the market.

Frustrations with Garmin I have had no problems with this impressive device but experienced considerable frustration with Garmin support in obtaining appropriate map updates. Ordered in late May 2008 it came with old maps. Although new updates for the US and European maps were initially promised by phone when I registered it with Garmin, only the soon to be outdated European map was eventually received. Several hours and several calls to support yielded entirely different and conflicting answers to why I wasn't going to...

Great GPS if you need Europe - just update The 670 is the same as the 660 except that it includes the Europe maps. If you want Europe it is cheaper to buy the 670. My unit came with older versions of both North America and Europe. When I registered on the Garmin website to get both updates, it told me I could only get one for free and would have to pay for the other. I called tech support and complained, since I already paid the premium for the 670 and therefore expect to have fully up-to-date maps of both North America and Europe. ...
