Garmin n??vi 660 Automobile Navigator

This GPS is awesome!! I can't believe I lived without the Garmin nuvi 660 for this long. It's so simple to work that you don't need to look at the manual. It gives you voice prompts in a timely manner to change lanes and take you directly to the location. I love it!!

The system doesn't always give you the most appropriate directions. Sometimes it insists on freeway routes when I may prefer to take side streets. I dont know if there is a way to ask for other options on routes. Works great as a Bluetooth. I was driving on fwy yestereday when I got a couple of calls. I have only used the product a few times so far since I bought it.

I bought this unit to use for trips and it has been wonderful! The big screen makes it easy to look at; I pass other people with the 3.5" screen and wonder on how they can see that thing, glad I bought the 4.3"! Love the FM transmitter, listening to my music on the car speakers is great; just wish it wouldn't cut out when I pass a truck. Gives me very accurate directions and TOA. The only problem I have had is with new roads, some roads have been there for years and it doesn't show up and one just been built this year and was on the map (this one was in a big city). I have one exit that I take that it shows me going on the ramp but when the ramp straightens out it jumps me back on to the interstate; I however find it ammusing but otherwise annoying. When putting in an address for a house it takes me right to it, but when I do it for a business it is a 50/50 shot. I gets me on the right street but either the business is further down the road or way before it says you are there. It will take me right to my office but won't take me to Wal-mart lol. I've used the bluetooth a couple of times but am still working on getting used to it. I would recommend buying a 1 gig+ sd card to store music or audio books or pics on; that was a great investment. Hooks up easily to my computer and transfer files. Garmins update feature is easy to use (have to go to their website to get it and use it). Just turn it on atleast 5 to 10 minutes before you have to leave after updating so it can install the update(s) I have never lost reception outside (just when I drive into the shop), but if you do it is faster to shut it off and turn it back on to acquire satelites then to let it find them afterwards. I bought this unit in Feb 2008 and have put on 10,000 miles and use it almost everyday. The only other thing I wish Garmin did was add a route that you could avoid most towns. It is either the fastest or shortest. Fastest is not always the fastest. Shortest will take you down gravel roads if that bothers you, it doesn't me so I dont mind. Overall it is a great product with some things that can be improved but I am sure they all have problems.

Awesome product especially from someone who's on the road all the time like me. There were 2 things that I missed from a factory GPS that I used to have. First, this one gives you the straight route which is not necessarily the fastest route. Next the other one that I used to have it constantly tells you which city you were on. Not this one. Other than that it was good.

A GPS is a must have! So convenient, no more printing maps from mapquest and they are not accurate. Loved how it located shopping nearby where I did not know existed. So far I haven't been able to use it much, but the few short times I did I have been very happy. My only complaint and my friend who has the Garmin 300 series does the same thing, but the Nuvi's holder - that sticks to your windshield isn't so great, my nuvi has fallen off and to the floor 3 times now and so did hers, I haven't seen any damage to it yet, but if it was a computer it would have shaken its harddrive. I have made certain that it was secure when it was on my windshield as well.
