I received this gps as a Father's Day gift this past June and absolutely love it. I'm not the best with directions and this thing makes travel pretty much worry-free. Granted, none of these gps's are 100% accurate, but the nuvi 660 does a remarkable ...

Someone broke into my car and stole my Nuvi350. Since I loved the Nuvi so much, I replaced it with another, but this time with the 660 for its bigger screen. WHY NAVIGATION If you still aren't convinced about nav systems, here's my brief schpiel. I ...
Pros: Small, sleek, pocketsized, many cool extra features, huge clear screen, early navigation directions. Cons: Expensive, Poor trip routing. Hard to enter data: destination addresses, points of interest.
We got this Nuvi GPS as our first navigating GPS. The only other GPS we had before was the military / point finder type we used for Geocaching. This thing is sweet. Bells and whistles, sounds, great video, signal pickup etc. We have found it to ...
Pros: Same great Nuvi functionality as the higher-priced 660 line. Great screen. Spoken-street directions. Cons: No QWERTY keyboard or external volume control.
I recently wrote a review on the Garmin Nuvi 660 GPS system which is one of the best consumer GPS units on the market. One of the biggest hurdles facing the 660, however, is the steep price (in excess of $700 as of this writing). Though I happen to ...

I have been lusting after the Garmin Nuvi 660 GPS since the unit became available (early last year) but the $1000 price tag kept me at bay. With prices on the Nuvi 660 recently falling into the sub $700 range I finally broke down and purchased one. ...
Pros: Super small, Large outstanding display, Bluetooth! Quick start up, FM Modulator, Excellent Search Cons: Expensive but worth every penny, icons not user selectable.
Updated 12/25/06 Merry Christmas. I apologize for any confusion, but when I searched for a Nuvi 660 the day I tried my unit out, there were zero reviews written. I wrote the first one, but there was an error in how it was indexed, so now it shows up ...
Pros: Plantronics name, decent warranty, comfortable, quality sound Cons: Earbuds like to fall off (easily solved)
I started shopping for new bluetooth headset recently. I've had bluetooth on several of my phones but never really used it because it seemed to really affect battery life. It's not illegal in Florida (yet) to talk on a cell phone while you drive but ...

Pros: Quality, price and ease of use Cons: The update website.
I bought the Garmin Nuvi 660 in the fall of 2006. I chose the 660 over the other models because my middle-aged eyes deserve a big screen to look at, and also because I couldn't afford the Mercedes that was wrapped around the GPS system that I used in ...
Pros: Great sound,lit LCD screen. slow to 25% with no loss of pitch, 'Loop' function* Cons: Small LCD screen crammed with icons. FF and RW are slow-incremental.
I bought this unit for the DVR function mainly. My job requires reports daily. I originally purchased the WS 100, then saw this on sale at Shack for the same price. I had the WS 100 for a couple of days. The 300 has easier to use function buttons and a ...
Pros: Portability, bright screen, speed, excellent reception, ease of use Cons: Only one via or waypoint at a time
I have been looking for a portable GPS unit for a couple of years. I had one in my Lexus LS430 and my wife now has one in her Acura, so I am pretty familiar with GPSs. I sold my Lexus and now drive a truck that has no GPS. I also own a van and ride a ...

Pros: Does it all right out of the box. Cons: None.
I'd never owned a GPS device before and was quickly amazed by how great the Garmin Nuvi 660 performed. I've owned it for about 3 weeks now and it is a real winner. The display is large and easy to read, the voice commands can be turned up loud enough to ...
First thing is first: The screen on the Garmin Nuvi 360 is exceptionally clear and is a very nice size. The product specifications state that the unit has a 2.8 X 2.1 inch diagonal QVGA TFT screen with 320 x 240 pixels. The unit dimensions as a ...
Pros: Touch screen, bluetooth phone link, MP3 player Cons: Annual updates are pricey!

-Widescreen, easy to read and see
-Ease of use Cons: -Voice can sometimes be hard to understand
-Can't program your own route

Pros: Light, comfortable, easy to use and clear sounding Cons: non
After getting frustrated with the plug in headset that came with my phone, I decided to try a blue tooth headset. I was in such a hurry, I didn't bother doing my usual on line research. I asked the sales staff at my local Best Buy. They recommended ...
Pros: Good audible functions Cons: Over priced and lacks refinement.
Garmin 660 I have used the Garmin V for the past few years. The Garmin 660 is very different. The 660 is intended for touch screen control. The Garmin V is button control. The button control is more exact once you are familiar with it. The touch ...

I picked up the Nuvi 660 a couple of weeks ago. The decision was between the Nuvi 660, TomTom One, and TomTom 910. I chose the Nuvi 660 due to Garmin's reputation and leadership with GPS systems. However, I did like some of the fun things the TomTom ...
Pros: Great performance and comfort Cons: Concern that the windscreen may get damaged

Pros: Ease of use, versatility. Cons: No off-road use, speakers, battery life a bit low.
No tracking, way back capability. Sound quality is poor with speakers but ok with earphones. Downloaded some mp3s that I am unable to erase from the internal memory. Mounting is good (I include the optional bike mount). Bluetooth is buggy but it is very ...
Pros: Price, comfort, sound quality & light. Cons: Tiny, stiff power button & volume rocker. But not enough to detract for the Pros.
I bought this headset to replace the higher-end Plantronics (640 Discovery) headset my wife "misplaced". I didn't want to pay top dollar if it was potentially disposable. Also, there are a couple of things about the 640 that were not conducive to my ...
Pros: compact, portable, accurate, easy to use. Cons: volume is not as loud as it should be.
I have had several cars with GPS navigation units. Some have been pretty good (Corvette, Subaru, Jaguar)--some have been horrible (BMW, Mercedes). The Nuvi 660 outperforms them all. The Nuvi is amazingly accurate, and does a great job at pulling in a ...
Pros: Large bright display, text to voice, bluetooth, portable (built in battery), slim outside case Cons: Hands free is lousy, expensive, traffic updates are useless, not MAC friendly
It does what is says, it gets you from A to B in style. Initial signal acquisition sometimes can take 5-10min other times it pretty quick 1-3min (not sure what its dependent on). Once it acquires the signal direction routing is fast, and if you miss a ...

The Garmin nuvi 360 is a GPS unit that offers 3-D views, MP3 player and Bluetooth. It is also compatible with a traffic antennae (optional costs) that can direct you around heavy traffic. The best part of the nuvi 360 is its ease of use. When I ...

As a couple who travels a lot for our business, we were in desperate need for a GPS unit. MapQuest and Google Maps just weren't cutting it anymore, and we were ready for a serious navigation unit. Through talking to friends, and doing online research, ...
