Great product, but some details of map incorrect. 2008-01-08
My first extensive trip using my Garmin nüvi 660 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator was to Austin, TX. I was given the Garmin nuvi for Christmas and had never been to Austin before. I landed at 10:30 PM and programmed in the address of the hotel where my reservation was. The Garmin failed. It directed me out to the desert. I stopped and turned around. I was able to rouse the night manager who directed me back to town and the correct address. As it is pitch black in Texas at night and I was tired, this was not an enjoyable experience. Most of the time, however, the unit has given accurate directions.


Garmin nuvi 660 - a bummer 2008-01-07
To pay the price for this GPS and not get routing WITHOUT multiple waypoints is unconscionable. What was Garmin thinking?

The routes chosen by the 660 are neither the shortest or quickest, and the FM transmitter is probably there but it does not transmit a signal 4 feet to my vehicle radio antenna. Adding a cheapie third party FM transmitter to the earphone jack gets a good signal to the vehicle radio. The 660's transmitter simply doesn't work.

Aside from those short comings the unit works okay. But then so do other competing units and at a much lower price.

Keep shopping.


Great GPS 2007-12-31
I had originally gotten a TomTom Go 720, which I thought to be a great piece of equipment. The only problem being, that it's Bluetooth function wouldn't work with my CDMA Sprint phone. So, I returned it for the Garmin nuvi 660. The FM transmitter is decent. The Bluetooth function is exceptional. The mic/speaker works great, and the mapping software is pretty decent
Also, I was able to get quick satellite fixes from within my house (10-15' from the windows)

Pros:
*Car mount allows for one step installation. Power is delivered through the mount, therefore no need to detach from mount and unplug several cables, everytime you get in and out of the car.
*Turns on/off with car power.
*Bright screen for good sunlight read-ability.
*GPS function can be turned on/off to save battery usage.
*Bluetooth/speaker phone is crystal clear.

Cons:
*Menus not very intuitive. (TomTom interface wins here)
*Processing speed should have been a little faster. Mapping feature a little jerky.
*Clunky antenna must be flipped out for GPS usage. Not ideal for shoving in a pocket.
*Text-to-Voice feature needs improvement. Hard to understand. I end up just looking at the screen to read to directions.

Hardware winner: Garmin nuvi 660 - Pops in and out of car easily.
Software winner: TomTom Go 720 - Intuitive menus run seamlessly. (If my phone would have worked with the TomTom, I would have kept it.)
