My Second Garmin For about ten years I had been using a Garmin 12 Map for my travels. It worked quite well and still functions as if new. I was quite curious to discover the differences that one decade would make in a navigational system. To claim here that the changes are astonishing would be both accurate and vastly understated. The Nuvi 670 includes a variable FM transmitter that permits the audio to run through a car or home stereo on any vacant FM frequency (although there are few such frequencies any m...

Used Nuvi 670 on Recent Trip to Europe I purchased the Nuvi 670 for use in both US and Europe, and just returned from a 2 week trip driving in Germany, Austria and Italy. The 670 worked as advertised - just turn it on and it found the satellites and our location and was ready to navigate. I used the included suction cup mount, wedged into a dash tray. No problem with satellite connection. Internal speaker was excellent. Maps were very detailed. The 670 found every small road we used, even the winding one lane paths in small tow...

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 So I spent all this money on a International GPS unit only to end up with one map being out of date.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...

Excellent - But Lacking Great GPS... BUT...I bought the nuvi 670 because I like to travel to Europe. However, I use it in the US for every day business and work mostly in the same city going from address to address. Unfortunately, unlike other less expensive GPS devices out there, I have to type in the same city name over and over again while conducting my business. Why couldn't they have programmed a "favorite city" or "SAVED" cities list to select from??? This becomes very tedious - "TOO BAD". Everything else is...

Nuvi Review I am extremely satisfied with this GPS. This is the only one I have used, but it is very easy to use, and has lots of useful extra features. I only speak English and live in Germany, and having a European GPS is invaluable. It also features pedestrian and bike modes, which are very useful in Europe. The built in FM modulator makes for easier listening in the vehicle, and the built in MP3 player allows for music listening while the stereo is tuned for the FM modulator.
The only dow...

Good use in Scotlan We purchased this as a replacement for another brand unit in order to get the European maps and the battery operated portability. We used the unit primarily in a vehicle in Scotland and had coverage in all areas around the Highlands. The system was extremely accurate. The unit allows for choice of "quickest" or "shortest" routes and not "most highway use" as did our previous unit, and Garmin seems to make no distinction about the size and quality of the roads it uses to route, at least in Scot...

Must have travel companion I like the N?vi 670 very much. On a recent trip to England, I used the included suction cup mount and cigarette lighter adapter to mount it in my rental car. It was invaluable in getting me from point to point while I concentrated on driving on the left side of the road and navigating the roundabouts. The pedestrian mode was very useful in helping me get oriented after I emerged from underground subway stops. Its pretty clever that they thought to include a mode that ignores one-way streets ...

Worth it I have used this now for several months. I have a Garmin quest that I am extremely happy with so most comparisons are made to that. In general I'd higly recommend the unit.
Pros:
1. Fast satellite acquisition
2. Directions spot on
3. Very intuitive interface
4. Voice directions loud and clear (sometimes mispronounced but not a big deal)
5. Big clear display
6. Very compact for the amount of functionality it provides and the screen size. It will fit into j...

2000 miles thru Europe in new BMW Just back from taking Euro delivery of BMW 550i. As Garmin shareholders, we elected to not purchase the BMW nav and instead the Nuvi 670.
Overall impressions are good with some reservations. First day travels took us from Munich north in one day to Lieden, Netherlands (about 600 miles). We then drove back south to the Alps over the course of two weeks.
PROS:
Overall good screen and value. Used it to "lock" on the car and then wandered thru villages, and mountain hiki...

Very disappointed in Garmin customer support- It gets worse While the product works it came with outdated mapping software. They want $70 to update. It is only a week old I should not have to pay for an update. The battery is non-replaceable so call this thing disposable after it stops taking a charge. A lot of money for something you throw away. I paid extra for Bluetooth now find out it is not compatible with all phones. I think when the battery dies I will take the $70 and buy one their competitors. Hopefully they will have better customer serv...
