4.3-inch screen
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 nüvi 660's wireless FM transmitter. Tune your car's radio to the appropriate station and you'll hear all the nüvi's audio, including voice prompts, MP3s, audio books, and more, directly through your vehicle's stereo system. The nüvi 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 nüvi 660 a complete Personal Travel Assistant.

First Rate Map Data
The nüvi 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 nüvi 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 nüvi 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 nüvi 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 nüvi'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

TMC traffic service coverage map
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. All you have to do is simply touch the screen to view traffic details and you'll be ready to detour around any problem area. And if you end up missing a turn, or you're forced into a detour that is not relayed through the traffic receiver, the nüvi's sophisticated automatic routing will get you back on track in no time.

In most areas, TMC Clear Channel traffic broadcasts are continuous — there's no waiting for scheduled traffic news updates or random alerts. Because traffic broadcasts are received via a "silent" FM data channel, you can still listen to music or news programming on your car radio without interference from incoming FM traffic data transmissions.

A 3-month subscription to TMC Clear Channel's Total Traffic Network is included with purchase of this device. For more information on subscription fees, coverage in individual cities, and traffic data networks in the United Kingdom and Europe, check the Garmin website.


Easy To Use Interface
Garmin's interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about your trip.

Garmin's own navigation is easy to use

Summary: Nice functions & easy to use
Comment: This is my first GPS. I really like it for its functionality, ease of use.
it showing maps and directions correctly. it anouncing street names too.
Though it has many other functions, I didnt use them.
I would recomend this product.

Customer Rating: Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5
Summary: Good for what it's good for
Comment: Works mostly fine for it's intended application of getting you from here to there. Maps generally up to date. The audio and FM performance, however, are abysmal. At max volume it is marginally understandable at speeds below about 40, mostly useless over that. This is a well documented shortcoming of this unit; it's saving grace is Bluetooth and a direct audio output, but it does add more complication to the navigating experience. I rate it just OK.

Summary: Great Co-Pilot
Comment: I have had several GPS models and the Nuvi 660 is one that I have no concerns about getting me to my destination. It is reliable, efficient and so easy to operate. My directionally challenged wife no longer has any fear of getting lost and will take off to see our children and grandchildren at a moments notice in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex if I am unable to go with her. We do not leave town without it.

Summary: Garmin nuvi is Fantastic! We love it!
Comment: I bought this GPS for my husband's birthday. It has performed far better than we expected. It has met all of our needs. The bluetooth and music (MP3) options work great. We have found it to be accurate and provide the searches needed while traveling. Also, we are new to the area where we are currently living so looking up stores, services, etc. have proved invaluable to us.

Summary: Good price, descent deal
Comment: I bought this gps for my wife, and it seems to be working pretty well. We had a Magellan Maestro before this one, and this one is a little bit slower to load initially, which is probably the only notable con to it. I like it because you can point your finger at a map (when you don't have an address, but basically know the geographical location), and you're able to get directions from there (which you couldn't with the Magellan). You're also able to scroll the map up, down, left, right, kind of like google maps, which you couldn't with the Maestro. In fact, that's the only bit of information that was missing from posts while I was looking for a replacement. If I had known that this thing had those qualities, I would have bought it with no hesitation. Overall, I'm not sure what else you can buy for around $280, but this is pretty good.
