Garmin nuvi 660 Portable car navigation system with Bluetooth® Reviews

Best Pocket GPS On the Market
This is the first GPS unit I owned and couldn’t be more pleased. After consulting with friends who have owned multiple GPS units and reading various reviews, this is one of the nicest, feature-packed, and most importantly, accurate unit on the market. A useful feature for me is the integrated traffic receiver. Since I couldn’t afford to move closer into town, I use the real-time traffic report to avoid heavy traffic jams, accidents, and road constructions. Just this morning, I opted to take a longer route to get to the highway because the street I usually take was under construction. I’ve driven sparingly on that alternate route for 4 years and never realized there was a small intersecting street in a business district I can cut through to get to the highway more quickly. The Nuvi 660 pointed that out, basically shaving off over a mile in distance, traffic congestion, and plenty of frustration. GPS owners tell me having one will change my life… I’m starting to believe. Its performance and aesthetics is worth the price of this Nuvi. By the way, the unit didn’t take my 4-gig SD card, but accepted the 2-gig, and 1-gig SD cards. Maybe Garmin will eventually have updates that will read the 4-gig card.

To clarify on another review: It DOES come with 6 million POIs… for free. It’s located under the subcategory of “Where to?” in the “Food, Hotels…” icon.

Update 10/22/06 - Just took this Nuvi on an East Coast trip to Washington, D.C., VA, NJ, PA, NY and its performance exceeded my expectations. It founded just about every addresses and POIs I entered, except for one because the store recently changed its name. Needless to say, I never got lost. Two other people with me had GPS systems, one was a different Garmin model, and the other with a Toyota GPS - hands down the Nuvi 660 outshined them in accuracy and user interface. In one instance, I searched for the nearest Target in Fairfax, VA. Not only it got me there, but told me where to drive around inside the shopping center’s parking lot, leading me right up to the front of the store! Even my wife thought this was money well spent…
