I do over the road trucking and must find many new addresses. This unit is very good at what it does, but does not replace good directions and common sense, it compliments them. Nice to know left exits, and distance to location, etc. I would recommend it to anyone as a tool to be used while driving. Haven't used many of the features yet but may later. Bluetooth, audiobooks, etc. Traffic alerts in big cities are handy, but usually just let you know you're in for a bit of a wait. Not too many errors yet, but a few. These tools have their own little quirks. We sometimes disagree on routes and the little unit is very stubborn! Overall tho, I'd buy again.

Easy to learn and use...highly recommend

I love it because it is portable, small enough for purse. Very easy to use and enter information. I do not like that you have to be very specific with the address or it cannot find what you are looking for, example for Highway 67 you have to type State Highway, sometimes US Highway, that is my only complaint.

beware when buying

never bid on as is items unless you want to get burned.
highly disappointed with araujo73 for taking me to the cleaners.

I purchased the 660 for as a Chrismas gift for my wife and She loves it. It's easy to use, when you miss a turn it recalculates and redirects you within seconds. My daughter of whom gets lost within 5 minutes of the house depends on it. The bluetooth is gread for the phone. POI are very good. I have a Cobra, and prefer using the Garmin.

I looked at many GPS systems. This is the model that I settled for. It was actually a Christmas present from my wife. She told to pick one out and bid on it. I am very pleased with it. It will work thru your FM stereo system in your vehicle and is Bluetooth capable. The item was just as descibed and was brand new. I recevied it fast. I paid about $275.00 less than what I would have paid at BestBuy or Bass Pro Shops. I highly recommend this model to anyone wishing to purchase one.

Excellent graphics and voice commands. Excellent in providing instructions.
I purchased a bean-bag mount for the Garmin and it works great. Much better that the window mount.

Overall I like the Garmin Nuvi 660. Love all the features especailly if you forget your phone. However I am not impress with the battery life, w/o the charger it seem to go dead with in a hour or so:( Dont know if I have a bad battery or if its just the unit itself..

Great Buy!

Great Product and it was brand new out of the box. Best price that I found. The product shipped very quickly. I could not have been happier with this purchase.

Garmin nuvi 660 is this mans' new toy. You can get anywhere and that includes addresses and businesses for which you only know the name and not the address. Smart, quite, good pronunciation of streets and routes. Changes to not affect your night driving...which is excellent. Well worth the price you pay for it. Still learning how fully use it. It's a wise investment and can be used for years to come.

Major flaws
Review created: 01/08/08 by: gmakovoz
There’s been enough said by other reviewers how portable the unit is, how fast it acquires satellites, how much better it makes your travel (which, of course, any navigation system would do), however this review is not about the strong sides of the unit, it’s about it major flaws.

#1. Maps are outdated. Both roadways and points of interest. Example: IKEA in Paramus, NJ on Rt 4 and 17 opened in 2003 is not shown on 2008 nuvi maps, curiously Ikea Drive is. Roadways are slightly better – if something is missing (like a “new” exit or a “new” street) you still get directions – longer commute but you still get to your final destination.

#2. 3D view is annoying (applies mostly to city driving – under 50 mph). Due to slow gps location refresh rate (once a second) and absence of any kind of sensors (such as acceleration and yaw sensors that are present in other manufactures GPS devices – helps correct position), the location of the vehicle on the screen always lags behind your actual location. Observed it on my 660, on two 650, on one 760 and on 250W – all had the same lag issue in 3D mode. All units had the most recent software update from Garmin web site.
I have tried changing 3D view to 2D “Track Up” view – lag goes away. The only problem is that nuvi does not allow you to keep the scale you like, zooming out and making the map too small to read.

#3. Good luck using FM transmitter. Unless your vehicle FM antenna is right next to your GPS you get background noise all the time. MP3 quality through FM transmitter is really bad. I kind of found a way to circumvent crappy FM transmitter by connecting the unit audio output directly to my car audio system (possible connections – ipod or tape player).

#4. Cannot avoid part on the route (unless it’s a next turn).

#5. Cannot add more then one stop to your route.

#6. Traffic is not always where it’s shown on the map and vice versa. (though it’s not Garmin’s problem, it’s TMC)

Overall it’s very good. Annoying, but good.

My husband will be retiring this yr and we have a RV and hope to get use out of it without getting lost. My Daughter moved resently to another state. I travel a lot alone and feel much safer now that I have our GPS.
We are having fun with the short trips, cuz it's so easy to use. We have alot of extras and are figuring out how to use them.
The price was great. The sellers were very helpful when a slight problem came up. I wasn't going to be home to sign for it and we worked together to make sure we recieved it on time.
I would suggest anyone interested in a GPS to use Ebay and this seller.

I really like the accuracy of the mapping software and the ease of use. The unit is very simple to operate and any one can use it. The only complaint about the unit that I have is with the volume of the unit. In my vehicle there is not enough volume to clearly here the directions once the vehicle is traveling above about 45 mph. The volume is just not load enough to hear the directions or use the bluetooth phone connection. Both were features that I purchased the unit for.

I have contacted Garmin and undated the software with no improvement. If I play the sound through the radio I can increase the volume enough to here it but then I can not listen to the radio......

Other than this problem the unit works great

I bought this for my husband for Christmas. It was the one he wanted. He absolutely loves it! Our son has the same system, so the learning of how to actually use the system was much easier than if my husband had to actually read the instruction manual. As long as he's happy, so am I.

Less Stress, No Fights, and Enjoy the Drive.

Works like Magic. I'm the Driver in the Family but I don't know the Direction or the Area that we all going. Depending on my better half for the Direction is work and Frustrating. Always telling me to Turn at the Last Minute or can't Figure out a Map. The Garmin NuVi 660 GPS is worth every Penny. Punch in the Destination, you can adjust to take the Rural or Highway route. And if you are looking for the closest store or Restaurant it does that too (just like a Yellow Page). Perfect for International Travel because it also have a English to Foreign Language Feature(*one time pay download for this feature). That help you said the English words in a different Language(Spanish, French, German, and etc). I make sure I don't leave home without it if I am leaving town. My Family Love it, I drive, they sleep, and we get there with no Stress and no Fight.

I gave this to my fiance for X-mas and he LOVES it. He never has to ask directions again! He especially likes the bluetooth phone option. We used it to go to San Antonio, Houston, and all over Dallas. I researched alot of GPS systems and this one has it all. I would recommend the nuvi 660 to anyone looking for a GPS.
