Which nAvi is Best for You?: Click here to see a quick, simple comparison of features for all Garmin nuvi GPS navigators Wider screen lets you see more of what's around. Compare these actual size views of a 3-inch (diagonal) screen  and a 4.3-inch diagonal widescreen  | Widescreen -- See Better, See More The widescreen format gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push. FM Transmitter -- Hear Better, Hear More Instead of straining your ears to hear turn-by-turn directions or your favorite MP3s, you can enjoy wireless FM audio transmission via the nAvi 660's wireless FM transmitter. Tune your car's radio to the appropriate station and you'll hear all the nAvi's audio, including voice prompts, MP3s, audio books, and more, directly through your vehicle's stereo system. The nAvi 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 nAvi 660 a complete Personal Travel Assistant. First Rate Map Data The nAvi 660 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps, including a hefty POI database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nAvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping. In addition, the nAvi 660 accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs Important note about map updates: Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our Garmin Store. Hands-Free Calling In more and more places, it is becoming illegal to use cell phones while driving without a hands-free kit. The nAvi 660's Bluetooth capability, microphone and speaker lets match it to any bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nAvi'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. Integrated FM Traffic Receiver

| Steer clear of traffic with an integrated FM traffic receiver designed to receive alerts from TMC Clear Channel about traffic tie-ups and road construction that might lie ahead on your route.

pretty good gps November 26, 2008 Great product, meet's expectations. Only problem was that the bluetooth was not compatible with my blackberry 8320. The connection kept dropping.
Wow... I hope you don't live in Chicago November 25, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I purchased this GPS on 8/14/2008. This is aproximately 9 months after I355 opened in the Chicago. This is a major 8 lane 15 mile stretch of highway that is not in the GPS. My inlaws bought a Nuvi 200 before we did and their maps included this road.
I bought this unit 3 days before Garmin's new map garauntee program started. I had to pay $70 to update the map JUST TO GET THIS ONE ROAD!
I feel very ripped off. Amazon was evidently selling off old stock. And Garmin does not appear to care about its customers to make sure merchants are keeping their maps updated.
Not having this route is a major pain in the but, since everytime we go south out of town, it tries to take us on surface streets. Crazy. When I am driving on the I355, it annoyingly tries to tell us to turn on every road we go over.
Otherwise this GPS functions ok. I like the feature that speaks the names of the road you are about to turn on, instead of just telling you to take a right. This is very good when there are several streets within a couple tenths of a mile.
I am giving this product 2 stars for poor customer support.
Great product,great price November 24, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
After reviewing several makes and models, I'm more than satisfied I chose the Garmin nuvi660. Accurate, easy to understand directions, and quick updates(which worried me from some of the other brands I checked out). Thank you!
Saved my marriage! November 24, 2008 We tried a similar Garmin in a rental car while going from Phoenix to Yuma, Ariz. We both agreed that it made the trip much easier and so we decided to purchase a GPS. This model is all that we need or want. It has recently taken us from Seatac airport to Port Townsend without any problems and then on a tour of that area. The bluetooth capability is necessary and useful. We recommend this item.
Decent product but a piece came broken November 24, 2008 I like the product. A couple of drawbacks though. I don't think they can control this but it takes a while to get the satellite signal. Also the power plug for the car was broken when we opened the box which seems strange. I'd hate to think the product was a return to Amazon or Garmin and they just sent it back out to sell as new???
