This preloaded navigator brings all this fantastic map data to your fingertips with a super-bright, 4.3-inch widescreen display for improved map viewing, day or night. Use the touch screen interface to select destinations, look up POIs, and play your favorite MP3s and audio books. The display also helps you control hands-free calling, traffic alerts, and the FM transmitter, all from the screen of your personal travel assistant.

The nüvi 660, along with its counterparts, the nüvi 360 and nüvi 310, integrate Bluetooth wireless technology with a microphone and speaker that lets you make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nüvi's touch screen keypad to make a call on a compatible phone. To answer an incoming call, just tap the screen and speak into the built-in microphone. Making and taking calls on the road has never been easier, or safer. In addition, Garmin makes it a breeze to look-up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or even tap into your cell phone's call history log.

The device comes ready to go with automatic routing, 3D or 2D map perspective viewing, and turn-by-turn voice directions that speak street names. It also supports configurable vehicle icons. These fun, customized car-shaped icons come in a variety of colors to add a personal touch to your vehicle's position on the map. With this GPS system on board you'll be prepared to steer clear of traffic with the integrated FM TMC traffic receiver. The nüvi 660 is designed to receive alerts about traffic tie-ups and road construction that might lie ahead on your route. All you have to do is simply touch the screen to view traffic details and you'll be ready to detour around any problem area. And if you end up missing a turn, or you're forced into a detour that is not relayed through the traffic receiver, the nüvi's sophisticated automatic routing will get you back on track in no time.

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.

The FM transmitter feature is only available in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Lastly, the nüvi 660 comes with a free, three-month trial for the traffic services.

Great GPS

This is a wonderful GPS unit. Thieves unfortunately smashed my window and stole mine from a supposedly secure garage. I'll be more careful with the next one. The mount that comes with it and the other Garmin mounts are worthless. I use a ProClip mount, which is expensive, but great.


not perfect

Im in law enforcement and use this to respond to calls and backup fellow officers. It's nice not to have to pull your map out every time for directions. But, newer developments and newer blocks that have been around for 2 yrs are not on my 3 month old 660 nuvi. Some streets are named wrong and the house numbers are way off. I am talking of maybe 2% being wrong but in my line of work that is critical. My partner had a older model that showed the surrounding blocks in more detail which helps us. Also while on Vac in NC, a Hwy that has been around for yrs was not showing on the unit. Im still pleased with the unit but have nothing to compare with.


My opinion

The GPS unit works very well and I am pleased with it. It is probably accurate within 50 feel.


Nice GPS Piece with wider clear screen

I bought this piece and initially I liked it very much. It has a wider and clear screen. Directions are quite clear. It has time-sensitive background-shading feature. During nights and days, it shows the difference in background color.
The best feature in this is the Search. we can search for variety of things like restaurants, Hotels, Gas stations, Night clubs and so on. It shows from nearest to far with address and phone number.
Another feature I love in this is Blue Tooth. This helps in using this piece as handsfree to our cellphone. Get into the car, and connect your cell with GPS piece via BlueTooth and that's it. You can answer any calls from this piece. It has a good microphone that catches low voices also.
Other features include MP3 player, calender, picture viewer etc., SD card slot to plug in and play songs and view pictures.
But...the Internal Speaker is of screwed up quality. Initially it was fine but slowly after 2 months, it went really bad. i couldn't even hear the directions properly. Voice started breaking etc.,
I sent it back to Garmin and they sent me a new piece. I hope this one will be okay. I still need to wait and see.
Another issue is, the search, sometimes takes us to wrong places, and some times it takes to the correct address , but with a little marginal error like 100 - 200ft this side or that side.


nuvi

i love the nuvi 660. the only wish i had was that i could save certain routes that i like to take. the nuvi sends me on routes that i know aren't right or at least part of the routes aren't the best, so if i could save routes it would be greater.
