highly recommended

great buy

Bought this as an open box item. It is real nice, the map data required updating, and it still doesn't have some major roads. the screen is nice sized it came with all the needed cables and mounting hardware

Garmin 660

After reviewing Consumer Reports on GPS units, I found that Amazon had the best price. So far the product has performed very well. We have only had it for a month though. Like the larger screen very much and would recommend that anyone interested in getting a GPS go with the one that has voice/street name option. Very useful.

Garmin nüvi 660

My 360 was stolen from my car so I needed to buy a new one and looked at getting a small upgrade. The 660 has a wider display and I don't know if it is because it is new it also seems brighter. The SW is slightly updated, but the menus are familiar, so it was easy to get started. After 2 weeks of usage I'm totally satisified with the 660.

Love this navigator

I was looking for a navigation unit to carry in my Honda Element. I found the extensive number of units on the market somewhat overwhelming. I decided to get a unit that had been available a while but not too long so it would be up to date and well reviewed. I have used these units in rental cars so I knew how they work. I love the 660 and I would have given it 5 stars if the Garmin company had made their stand compatible to both windsheilds and dashboards or made a California dashbord edition. My solution? I just bought some Extreme Velcro at Home Depot and cut it to fit the back of the windshield mount, soft side on the mount. On my dash between my speedometer panel and the airconditioning/radio panel, next to my steering wheel I doubled the velcro rough strips and the unit sets up there perfectly well within reach, easy to view, out of glare. You have to take alcohol and orange goo cleaner to make sure the dash is really clean for it to stick but if you do it right it works fine. This unit comes with ac adaptor, carrying case, windsheild mount and cord, full manual on CD and a hardcopy quick reference guide, also a free trial 3 month FM traffic service. Like all GPS units I have tried this one does not always go the shortest way and occasionally makes mistakes about turns and pronounciations, but they are minor errors. This is a good product and very useful in the car when shopping and traveling.

Just works

It works great but loses reception easily while going under a bridge or overpass. It doesn't acquire location easily.

Wider screen lets you see more of what's around. Compare these actual size views of a 3-inch (diagonal) screen

Widescreen -- See Better, See More
The widescreen format gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push.

FM Transmitter -- Hear Better, Hear More
Instead of straining your ears to hear turn-by-turn directions or your favorite MP3s, you can enjoy wireless FM audio transmission via the nüvi 660's wireless FM transmitter. Tune your car's radio to the appropriate station and you'll hear all the nüvi's audio, including voice prompts, MP3s, audio books, and more, directly through your vehicle's stereo system. The nüvi 660 includes many "must-have" entertainment and travel tools, including digital music and audio book playback, JPEG picture viewer, currency converters, and more. All these great features make the nüvi 660 a complete Personal Travel Assistant.

First Rate Map Data
The nüvi 660 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps, including a hefty POI database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping.

In addition, the nüvi 660 accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs

Important note about map updates: Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our Garmin Store.
