Garmin nuvi 660 Car GPS Receiver

Pros: Simple to use. Bluetooth. Ready out of the box
Cons: No external volume control. No integration with car audio system.

I've had my Nuvi for a couple of weeks now and I was in love from the moment I turned it on. I was amazed at how simple everything went during the setup! Then, after trying it out on the road, I set it to recognize my cell phone and was in awe as it ...

Pros: Solid navigation, quick (re-)routing, cell phone connectivity
Cons: audio integration

If you look for a good navigation system, the NUVI360 is a solid performer: Navigation: Accurate routing (if the street is available in the map, fast re-calculation of route if you missed a street or exit. Voice prompts: The text-to-speech feature ...

Pros: Speech Precision FM transmitter for traffic MP3 player
Cons: Slow to put up satellites sometimes. Price (unless you can get cheap)

I bought the Garmin 660 based on reading other reviews before buying. Most people rated it a great buy, and as myself I will rate it the same. The product has performed great overall. I have tried most of the features and they worked great. I use ...

Pros: Definitely the large, clear, easy to read screen.
Cons: Inability to customize screen buttons and you cannot create a trip with multiple destinations.

After much comparison shopping I decided on the Garmin Nuvi 660. I narrowed the search down to two gps models; the Tomtom Go 910 and the Garmin Nuvi 660. I loved the features on the Tomtom's Go 910, including the iPod and bluetooth connectivity. ...

Pros: Very good printing, scanning and copying results. Color results are excellent.
Cons: Scanner is a little slow and the unit is somewhat noisy.

I just bought a new computer with all the bells and whistles and found that my 6 year old scanner and 5 year old printer, both HP, would not work with the new PC. I hated to give them up because they were both extraordinarily reliable and simple to use. ...

Pros: Compact, easy setup, reasonable price (I paid CAD$199)
Cons: Plastic appears a bit flimsy

Some years back I setup my own little home office. At that time these all-in-one units where only a dream so I ended up with a scanner, a printer, a FAX, a copier all separate pieces of equipment and while it all looked impressive it sure took up a lot ...

Pros: Worked perfectly, easy to install and set up
Cons: Maybe the price but otherwise nothing

After having seen a built-in GPS on my daughter's Honda, I just had to have one I starting looking into the portable units. Epinion reviews are always helpful. I eventually decided on this unit. The 360 was highly rated, but the 660 has a larger screen. ...

Pros: If any, they are wasted in a poor control software
Cons: The control software, amateurish, huge (700MB) and most of the time not working !

We've bought this all-in-one two days ago, mainly for its networking capabilities. Unfortunately, that's where it is weakest and I doubt anyone who's written a good review has actually tried this printer on a network for more than two seconds. So far, ...

Pros: Wide screen, bright,easy to see in daylight. Software. Fast Recalculation if you miss turn.
Cons: Pricey, mounting device on windshield mount takes practice.

This is my first GPS unit. I am totally pleased with the product and highly recommend it if you are considering its purchase. I have not needed to contact customer support so I cannot comment on service. I did play with some of the other features such ...

Pros: slow satellite acquisition
Cons: very accurate

What I like:
1. VERY Accurate!! I have traveled with my Garmin in more than 12 states and in big cities (New york, Los Angeles, washington DC, etc) and it ALwAYS takes me exactly where I want to go.
2. Battery is long lastting.
3. Easy to use

What I don't like:
1. SLOW Satellite acquisition...... it takes forever to figure out where you are.
2. Having to input the city every time you look for an adress is VERY ANNOYING. It should be able to figure out where you are, or have a setting where you put a city by default.
3. It needs a better way to mount on dash (all GPS systems do;not just this one)

Pros:

Easy to use, feature rich device.

Cons: For security I don't mount mine so the battery life is restrictive.

I was tired of driving myself in circles as the limited never lost system was sort of the Norton Anti-Virus of GPS systems. If you know Norton, then you understand that it attacks viruses at the network level but can't handle the little spam / spyware. Likewise, never lost will get you from the airport to the hotel offramp, but get lost between that exit and the hotel.

The garmin drills down turn by turn to the lowest level, in fact ... you can navigate at the most granular level of 20 or 30 feet. Much easier to hand over oneself to this device than the rental car device.

Caution: keep an eye on the integrated blue tooth - mine was accidently left 'on' and was prematurely draining the battery - oops!

Overall grade: B ++

Pros: Great screen, easy to use
Cons: None found yet

Just bought this from Costco for $249 + shipping, which seemed to be a great deal. It worked right out of the box and even picked up Satellites indoors while charging on my living room table! The screen is very bright and clear. I was able to enter destinations and browse through the menus without a manual (I don't think they included one).
The mounting bracket seems sturdy, which surprised me, since I read many bad things about it in other reviews.
Can't wait to try it on the road.

Pros: Easy to use, good black document printing
Cons: Color cartridge won't print without coaxing.

I purchased the HP Photosmart 2575 to replace an older model of Photosmart. I had been very pleased with the older model and have been very unhappy with the 2575. It scans easily, and prints nice photos and documents, but the color ink is very lacking. The problem I've had is that the color cartridge must be cleaned 2 to 4 times (maybe more) in order to get a good color print quality. Of course, this uses ink rapidly. Without cleaning and priming the color is very faded and has skipped spaces and lines throughout. Once primed and cleaned the quality is very good, but if you don't print in color for a day or two you must go through the same process of priming and cleaning the cartridge multiple times. I am replacing this printer asap!

Pros: NONE - it won't feed paper !
Cons: Disappointing user experience with HP, who should be the premier customer experience.

HP should be doing a better job of handling paper feed problems on their low cost printer/scanner/copiers. This unit is a reasonable low volume colour printer. It is no speed demon but will produce OK output from a scan, copy or computer hookup. THE problem I have with it is that it is one of the MANY HP units which suffer from poor to non-existent paper handling. You can try the resurfacing kit, or roller revitalizer kits, but why should we be forced to make up for HP's quality control shortcomings ?

I would avoid this and all related units from HP. They are not home repairable, customer support for them is abysmal to poor at best, and HP just keeps churning out the same problems. Check out any of the user forums or fixyourownprinter.com to see what I mean.

Pros: Screen size & brightness, portability, voice navigation, picture display, customizable avatar/icon, easy to configure
Cons: Sometimes gets confused if you take too many off route detours; price; subscription for traffic

Great overall package. I would give it a 9+ out of 10. Great compromise on screen size and portability . . . Easy to read screen, but small enough to put in a pocket. Very good a picking the best routes according to your preferences. Love the voice navigation! I have used a number of different portable and built-in GPS/Nav systems over the last few years in rental cars. The Nuvi 660 outshines them all . . . no comparison. Maps are up to date. Easy to plug into your computer for updates/patches.
