Garmin Nuvi 660 GPS Reviews

REVIEW BY: ardendrent Reviewed Jan 30, 2008

Received Garmin Nuvi 660 GPS at Christmas 2007. I use daily. Motorola cell phone will not connect. Have not received any traffic warnings with Garmin Nuvi 660 GPS as of yet but did get tied up in traffic. That was a let down. Unit falls off dash. Suction cup holder not that great. Does not show new highway I 355 Extension that opened in mid November. Emailed asking why and it took 2 weeks to get answer that said they only update maps once or twice a year. Told to check back in April/May. I was shocked. Unit does get me where I need to go.

I have to say this is a very impressive unit overall. The touch screen moves along a lot faster than my wife's older unit. The map is more recent than my wife's. The free traffic alert (3 months) is interesting but I don't think I will register. The screen is large and clear. I just love the bluetooth. The BT sound is good in and outbound. It really transforms your phone into a hands free device. I will caution that you have to watch for private calls when on a speaker phone in a car full of people. The FM does not work for me. My antenna is in the rear window so I think it too far for the small transmitter. I would get this unit again.

Just got mine today. Very intuitive, good performance, not great. The BT integration is fantastic even with an old Mot Razr and simple to pair. The suction cup mount is not very reliable, the bean-bag friction mount is the way to go but at $40, a very expensive bean bag.The ''Web watcher'' software update service (free) works well.My main complaint is the lack of a Qwerty keyboard option, it's a real PITA. They have it in other models, why not the 660?

Overall a fun ''toy'' GPS unit, lacks serious features such as practical trip planning using your own routes, poor pathfinding on it's own it often wants you running up & down side streets even when there's a nice empty avenue or boulevard providing an obvious direct easy route, does not take into account routes with dozens of stop signs vs direct parkways, seems to be fond of suggesting transitways (restricted for Buses only), you can not exclude toll roads or streets that you don't want to take from your trip. Traffic alerts are fun but the avoid option does nothing more than reroute you back to the same route anyway. Nice display but +/- buttons sometimes take multiple presses to do anything. FM transmitter is low quality sound with allot of background noise. does have good construction quality & mounting kit works well, case fits nicely, unfortunately the length of the autopower (lighter) adapter is very long & interferes with gear selector. good intro GPS.

Bought the 660 Asian language edition, it works great. Blue tooth works w/ RAZR, found traffic problems and automatically rerouted me. Asian language displays and voice work well.
