Garmin 650 Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Very easy to use and navigate through menus, start up is about 30 seconds and it navigates flawlessly. Voice prompts occur at the perfect time, huge database of stored POI it’s surprising how much is in there. Not much space for music, when I got it there were only about 75MB of free space, I took the extra stored languages and sample stuff off which gave me about 320MB of space. 4GB SD Card on th...

Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Huge, crisp screen, good prompting for turns, fast re-route calculations. Expandable with SD cards. Has features I don't need like MP3 player, etc. the 350/360 is probably a better value, but the bigger screen on the 650/660 is nice to have.
Cons: It takes three steps to mute it (My TomTom only takes 1). That is a surprising oversight in a generally easy-to-us...

Pros: Good sized screen, bright, crisp. Really accurate, you can customize whether or not you want to avoid the interstate and toll roads, things like that. Voice prompts are spot on. It is quick to reroute. I like the favorite addresses feature, if I get lost somewhere, I can just bring up the favorites and tap "home". You can set favorites by your current location, which is what I did standing in my...

100% (2 of 2) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | Perfect Nav at the Perfect Price! This navigation system is amazing. They could charge double what they charge at Buy.com (and some places do!) and it would still be worth it. Great price, shipped quickly! I got it 1 day after I bought it, using normal shipping! Awesome product, the voice is very loud (you can turn it down of course), and easy to hear, and the screen is great, even in direct sunlight, it is very visible and you won't be squinting to see the turns. Highly recommended!

It was very easy to input the destination address. It fou...
