Garmin nuvi 660 Portable GPS with Bluetooth Capability for Handfree Calling

Disappointed that Bluetooth would not work with my cell phone. Otherwise works very well, especially tie in with Google Maps.

Start using right out of the box. Very user friendly. Easy to understand menus.

When I bought this product I did it specifically with a trip in mind...so I waited until I got back to "review" the Garmin. I think that I had a excellent opportunity to rate it.

I'm going to make this as honest as possible. Are they infallable? Absolutely not. There were times when I felt it told me too late to make a turn. And other times when I knew where I was going that it was going to send me turning when it wasn't necessary.

Knowing it would be a long drive I did everything I could think of to conserve the battery. I got nowhere close to the 6 or 7 hours they said was possible. Make sure you keep the charger handy..and beware - the 1st time I plugged it in the lighter I thought I would never get it out. It was very tight! I had to use a gripper to pull it back out and it wasn't easy. It's a little easier now...but still difficult.

I also set up the bluetooth for hands free talking so my phone was going through the Garmin. It really seemed to drain my cell phone battery rather quickly. I had to alternate between plugging in the Garmin and plugging in the phone. Guess I should have bought a car with 2 lighter plugs?

Like any technology with both pros and cons...let me say how greatful I was to have the Garmin and that the pros definitely outweighed the cons. Before the trip I saved every address for the places I thought we might like to go as a favorite....it made is exceptionally easy to get around. On occasions when the traffic simply would not allow me to get into the necessary lane to make an exit....
Gabby very non-judgmentally simply "re-calculated" and got me to my destination. My friend who met me for vacation, after seeing Gabby in action - decided she wanted to purchase one for herself.

Remember to take an Atlas along anyway....they are always useful...but the Garmin is a wonderful thing. It was well worth the investment. I don't know what I would have done with the closed road - normally I would have just printed directions off the internet....then where would I have been? As it was it only added about 3 miles onto my trip.

If you are directionally challenged like me - I know for sure you'll love it. It just makes life so much simpler. Just know there is a small adjustment time as you get used to it's nuances.....but I vote you go for it.

This is a very nice unit. Does all the things you would need a gps to do in terms of navigation. The fm transmitter does not work well, but the mp3 player when directly connected to the radio does just fine. I would like for more than one via point, but this isn't a big deal. I like it overall, but took it back and got the 650 instead because of the fm transmitter problem. In all fairness, I understand that no fm transmitter works as well as direct connection.

A great navigator with some nice added bonus features. This product really helps my wife to get around amidst the sometimes confusing DC Metro Area. I really like the bluetooth feature to use the phone hands free. The MP-3 volume is usually too loud if I just leave the GPS volume set, so I have to lower it and listed a little harder to the directions. The added advantage of having the unit speak the street names is a bonus in this area of crowded streets. I find that I don't have to look at the unit as much with the nuvi telling me which way to turn and on which street. An excellent value with no real drawbacks.

This product is very simple to use and user friendly.

This product met all my need for traveling.I have not had any problems. Down load owner mannual as well as 2009 Maps and Point of Interest. The best of all is the (price)I shop all over and found that Wal Mart had the best price.

Great product for a great price. It performs really well and has some neat features that make this a real bargain. I would recommend this unit for someone searching for a mid level unit at a good price.

Have not used a GPS unit before, so I can't make a quality comparison. This one works well and I expecially like the fact that it can use the car stereo for directions, music, audio books and syncs with my phone for hands-free calls. It wasn't difficult to set up and is very easy to use. I would definately recommend this model.
