A terrific gps unit This is the first gps unit that I have owned. I did extensive research. I wanted a unit that was fully portable, easy to use, and could be charged in the car, from an outlet, or from my laptop. I bought the Nuvi 660 and after using it on long and short trips am delighted that I got it.
Leaving a restaurant late at night in a strange town and missing the turn for the road back to your hotel can spell trouble, but when this happened to me the Nuvi 660 took me on a different route tha...

Absolutely Perfect! Tech Level: average
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: I could not be happier with this GPS. I have traveled over 12000 miles in 14 states while using it and it never missed a turn! Even remote rural dirt roads. Fantastic! Perfect for hiking with long battery life. I can slip into a pocket and never get lost in unfamilar cities. I can't believe the one reviewer trashed it. That review is simply not true OR his expectations were extremely unreasonable....

Can't Live Without It I've used the Nuvi 660 for 6 months now and love it. I use it all the time, even for driving to work. I use the time till next turn to help me figure out whether its worth staying in the left lane and passing all the slow pokes. I constantly look at the estimated time of arrival to see how I am doing.
Entering an address into the Nuvi takes only 20 seconds. You don't have to enter every letter of a city or street name. After it has enough letters, it shows a few matches and lets you...

Very good but not great GPS.... I got the Garmin Nuvi 660 to replace my SteetPilot c340 because with my small car the c340 was a little too big and cumbersome. I found that the units are almost the same as far as navigation goes. I was relieved that my Nuvi 660 already came preloaded with the new City Navigator 2008 v9 Maps.
Here are some pros and cons that I found with this unit.
Pros:
- Thin and lightweight
- Easy to use right out of the box
- Nice super bright and clear wide screen colo...

Experienced pda user who is extremely pleased Five minutes with this and all your friends will want it. The Nuvi works very, very well and shows a lot of care in its design and interface.
I received this for Christmas, which we celebrated in Phoenix, with a subsequent road trip to Las Vegas and then central California and San Francisco. I bought it mainly for Garmin's reputation for navigational capability and all expectations have been met or exceeded. Not a few hikers, hunters and boaters in Alaska trust their lives to G...

Can't Live Without It I've used the Nuvi 660 for 6 months now and love it. I use it all the time, even for driving to work. I use the time till next turn to help me figure out whether its worth staying in the left lane and passing all the slow pokes with cell phones stuck in their ear. I constantly look at the estimated time of arrival to see how I am doing. If I am ahead of schedule, I ease up on the gas pedal to get better gas mileage.

First Nuvi 660 died in 2 days, but Amazon took good care of me The first Nuvi 660 I received from Amazon died within 2 days of normal use. One morning I put on my dash, turned it on and nothing happened. I thought it was the battery but it wasn't. I tried the car cord and the AC adapter to no avail. I tried to reset it and that was no help as well. I called Amazon and they couldn't have been any nicer. The sent me a brand new unit by overnight mail that same day. They even agreed to pick up the shipping both ways. Their is no better place to buy than Amazon...

The GPS You've Been Looking For. Fantastic portable GPS unit. Crystal clear, bright, wide screen display is the best on the market. The current leg of the directions is displayed in a band across the top of the screen (like other Nuvis) with white letters on a green background...reminiscent of the big interstate signs...nice touch. Built-in speaker is loud and clear enough that I haven't even considered using the FM transmitter, although you certainly can. VERY FAST route recalculation. The low profile, super adherent, win...

Garmin Nuvi 660 - Great product (don't leave home without it!) After searching for information concerning various brands of GPS Navigators (store personnel haven't got a clue what these things do and the differences between brands or even models of the same brand), I finally decided on buying the Garmin Nuvi 660. Yes, it was one of the most expensive models on the market, but the reviews all indicated this was a great product. I couldn't agree more! I was hoping I would be satisfied with this GPS, especially after spending that much money. It is even be...

Finally... I'm on my third go-'round with portable GPS solutions, and this is finally THE answer. The two previous products have been PDA peripherals, and after doing my darndest to make those work, I had to admit I needed a standalone device. For a while I was planning on an after-market audio/video/navigation system for my car, but after months of research it seemed those weren't really up to snuff as far as navigation went either, at least not for the price, and I couldn't use it in my truck if I wanted...
