Summary: Good price, descent deal
Comment: I bought this gps for my wife, and it seems to be working pretty well. We had a Magellan Maestro
before this one, and this one is a little bit slower to load initially, which is probably the only
notable con to it. I like it because you can point your finger at a map (when you don't have an
address, but basically know the geographical location), and you're able to get directions from there
(which you couldn't with the Magellan). You're also able to scroll the map up, down, left, right,
kind of like google maps, which you couldn't with the Maestro. In fact, that's the only bit of
information that was missing from posts while I was looking for a replacement. If I had known that
this thing had those qualities, I would have bought it with no hesitation. Overall, I'm not sure
what else you can buy for around $280, but this is pretty good.

Summary: TomTom is better
Comment:
I bought this product after my TomTom Navi has been stolen. Although I was mostly happy with
my TomTom I decided for this product because I wanted to have a comparison with other products and
also because the Point odf Interest Database in TomTom is not that good.

I rate this
product with three stars because it essentially gets you from start to destination with reasonable
precision but it has a number of small flaws. Here the details in comparison to TomTom Go 920: />

1. Navigation

The TomTom is clearly better. The map data of the Garmin
is way behind the map data from TomTom (although I bought the Garmin 1/2 year later!). Often the
house numbers are not correctly located. Some streets are missing.
Finally the path chosen by
TomTom is the one that is better. The Garmin has a tendency to let you drive long ways on Highways
and interstates even if the shortcut on smaller streets is definitely shorter and quicker.
The
great thing of TomTom MapShare. This is a nice way to improve the map quality.

/>2. Displayed information

Again TomTom is better: On TomTom I can configure to see all
kind of information such as my current speed, a compass and many other things. I can't do that with
the Garmin.
But the point I really hate about the Garmin is the very optimistic time of
arrival. Seriously, even if you do a lot of speeding it is almost impossible to arrive in the time
frame calculated by Garmin. They seem to assume that you are always driving 10mph over the speed
limit and that all traffic lights are green.
TomTom is quite conservative with the Time of
Arrival and usually you can do it faster than the device estimates (which is what I find a lot
nicer).

3. User Interface:

Ok, this is difficult to say and depends
on your taste. The only big flaw that I see in the Garmin is that you can't chose the city by ZIP
code. TomTom can do that and often this removes any problems with ambiguous city names and even
reduces the streets to chose from in larger cities.
Voice input I did not test in great
detail.

4. Multimedia

Garmin is the clear winner in this category.
For some strange reason TomTom did not read the SD cards or at least I could not get TomTom playing
back MP3 stored on the SD cards.

5. Points of Interest

This is also
a winner for the Garmin. TomTom has quite a flat database with only a main category. Garmin has a
more structured database that allows for a much more exact searc for POI. For example, Garmin allows
for searching for restaurants of a certain category such as Italien, American etc. With the TomTom
it is only possible to browse for restaurant names.

Summary: I love my first GPS!
Comment: What I love about my GPS:
- easy (very easy) to setup and use
- Hands free calling using
Bluetooth capability
- FM transmitter: will push out voice prompts via FM to your car stereo.
The traffic alert is also amazing! It prompts you about traffic jam ahead, any accident, weather
condition, etc. Unbelievable the difference bet. before and after owning a GPS w/ traffic alert. />- I can download any good book and/or newspaper of the day from Audible.com and hear them in my
way to work. By the way, other sounds are muted when voice directions are spoken.
- the NUVI
660 has a big screen and this is a real asset making the maps very readable with a choice of 3D or
2D (depending on occasion you can switch the screen with O-N-E touch!). The street names are legible
and important information such as the next crossing street or the next turn is displayed clearly at
the top of the screen. Light and elegant design with a classy silver color. It comes with their own
case so I didn't even need to bother buying one.

Summary: The NUVI 660 was 100% worth
the price I paid for it. I had a choice of buying the latest model but after comparing the new
features I realized that I don't need anything else but a reliable GPS that brings me from point A
to B.

Well, I have used for approx. 3 months and I'm very pleased with my new toy. I
would recommend to anyone who needs the GPS for their main use as GPS :)) To the nerds looking for
a GPS this might not be your choice. Try the Knight Rider GPS with original K.I.T.T voice. :)) />

Summary: Fine for the price
Comment: Pros: Bluetooth, easy to update, speaker on unit gets loud.

Cons: Arrived with an
incomplete car charger that fell apart when inserted in the 12v socket. Several emails later and I
shipped it back to Garmin. They sent a replacement 2weeks after that.

Summary: nuvi 660
Comment: I recently bought this gps for my wife, she loves it. The navigation options are simple, the traffic
feature is useful in the NYC area, and also the bluetooth is a great feature that she uses often.
This GPS aquires its bearings very quickly and maps out the routes super fast. There was a slight
issue when the car charger broke, but Garmin resolved that by sending out replacement parts
quickly.... I would buy this again!
