 Interstate travel without paper maps August 8, 2008
Looking for a GPS system and being a believer in Consumer Reports, I selected the Nuvi 660 which was identified as a "best buy". This was my navigation tool from the San Francisco Bay Area to and around Medford OR, proceeding to and around Vancouver WA, and back to the Bay Area. I had no paper maps, and although I-5 is a pretty straight shot, I knew that finding addresses and restaurants in unfamiliar towns would be a challenge.
The Nuvi 660 didn't let me down. I didn't get lost, and the mapping appeared to be correct. On the negative side, I wish the "lady's" voice was less abrasive; I wish there was a soft alert tone prior to route change announcements; I wish I had a little longer warning that my next turn would be to the left or right since often heavy traffic made the correct turn impossible. On the other hand, when I couldn't make the correct turn I heard "recalculating", and was provided alternate directions to get back on track.
Would I buy a Nuvi 660 again? Most likely yes because of the price point. However I would consider saving up to buy a higher version that may have the more user-friendly options I'm looking for.

i'm using this item almost 2 months already but still she cannot point out the direct route instead she brought me to local street even i choose fastest time or shorter distance. I would give you a short view. Driving Interstate 278 East she want me to exit to local street and after a couple of blocks she want me to merge to 278 East again. I'm thinking probably the map of this GARMEN IS NOT UPDATED. Can you check this problem for me or whatever you can recommend. I had a GARMEN BEFORE similar to this kind a flat one but it's good ,I forgot the model the only thing i can remember is that no extras, no intersections, no recently found, no cities,no audio launch box icons and you can adjust the volume thru a small botton at the side and have louder voice. Somebody stole it.

The product arrived quickly. It's a great product.... just wish we could keep it from slipping off the dashboard.
Nuvi 660 August 8, 2008
I previously owned the Garmin Street Pilot 330 and liked it but the Nuvi 660 is great. Its features are easy to navigate and very helpful on the road. The prompts are timely and well marked on the screen. As an insurance investigator I travel alot of roads that don't have signs so the GPS makes it easy to find them. The traffic avoidance feature offers an avoidance route which usually saves you time from sitting in traffic. Its not always perfect but does offer an alternative. The bluetooth feature works surprisingly well. The volume and clarity of the speaker are very good. Some kinks that need to be worked on are re-dialing and turning the bluetooth on and off with the phone. The screen size makes it easy to see while driving, suction cup is better than the C330 and the flat nuvi holds well on the glass. Recently took it to Florida and it performed flawlessly. Highly recommend the unit. Best feature is the ability to see future turns before you come up to them.
