Garmin Nuvi 660 Review & Cheapest Prices

Want to buy a garmin nuvi 660 gps after reading all the rave reviews and great comments / ratings about it? This is probably the second best selling GPS system and personal travel assistant of all time, and as such your bound to be pretty satisfied like 98% of the crowd suggest, but in order to get the most out of your new order, make sure that you take some time to shop around and find some decent deals and the lowest / cheapest prices so that in a week you don’t find out you could have bought it at a much better price.

Surprising to some, Wal-Mart, BestBuy, and most of the major retailers don’t really represent even close to the best prices you can find on the garmin nüvi 660 GPS travel assistant, and in fact if you take your time to shop around online in 95% of cases you will get a better price-tag then that of which you can find online (even after shipping is accounted for!)

Here’s a video demo and garmin nuvi 660 review that really shows you everything you need to know and everything that this travel assistant has to offer. With the extra bright widescreen, mp3 player, and Bluetooth technology I’m sure you’ll love your Nuvi as much as Larry does.

This is a great video that shows you everything you wanted to know about the Nuvi 660. Larry seems to love his new toy so much he wants to share it with the world, which is understandable because it really is an awesome new toy.

Introduction

The Garmin Nuvi 660 is an excellent navigation device that is packed full of extremely useful extra features. The Nuvi 660 has a super bright antiglare 4.3″ widescreen with the most up-to-date Navteq maps. Extra features that make it very worthwhile over the Nuvi 650 are the Bluetooth hands-free technology and the integrated FM transmitter that picks up TMC traffic reports.

Main Menu

The Garmin Nuvi 660 is very intuitive with its menu system. The features and extra options are organized in a very user friendly way that makes customization and using features very easy.

The menus follow an easy to understand flow, with more detailed and specific information and submenus being intelligently organized into sections - keeping the nuvi really simplistic and easy to use, something very important safety wise in my opinion while driving a motor vehicle

Navigating and Driving

The touchscreen on the Nuvi 660 makes inputting a destination while driving very easy. The voice directions with the large colour-coded, detailed map make navigating while driving very easy as well. Directions are given visually on the map with arrows, written at the bottom of the screen using distance, direction, and street name, and audibly with a voice reading it out. The voice can be played through your car audio with the FM transmitter so it is louder. The map can be displayed in either a 2D or 3D mode. The Nuvi 660 can also estimate the time it will take to get to your destination and it is quite accurate.

Great Hardware and Software alike with very clear navigation assistance Leon Hill, Colorado

I’m very pleased with the functionality and performance of my Garmin Nuvi 660. I feel almost spoiled by all its great features. The MP3 player is great through my car speakers. So is the Bluetooth technology. It works perfect for making and accepting calls. My phone has voice dialing so it’s truly completely hands free.

One thing that I really liked with the nuvi 660 gps over others I have tried and seen in action, is the good clarity and timing on the voice and visual directions. One of my first experiences with gps navigation assistants was a turn off, as the old sluggish unit gave poorly timed directions on many occasions that were a distraction in highly trafficed turns, an issue not present on the garmin nuvi 660 gps

The Nuvi 660 is nearly perfect folks which came as not such a big surprise to me having viewed a few sites and stores where I saw the other garmin nuvi 660 review ratings all near perfect levels! I’ll add to the buzz and strongly recommend to any family of traveling individual that this thing WILL take any possible headaches and anxiety out of your travels, and will be a precious asset to you for much time to come.

I have used the Garmin Nuvi 660 coming up on about a month now, and has been a huge help and lifesaver on a few occasions. I do miss some of the older features of a previous TOMTOM one that I own, but the slim portability and size, huge and bright screen, strong and clear voice commands help the nuvi660 to beat my old tom tom by leaps and bounds honestly.

I spent some time reading a couple of websites recommendations and asking some people at my job which is an appropriate GPS brand, and Garmin GPS systems were far ahead of the pack. I spent some time looking for positive and negative reviews online, and decided to buy the garmin nuvi 660 model based on the sheer volume of positive feedback and lack of any negative implications across hundreds of review comments.

I’m not exactly that bright when it comes to gadgets like this, but the nuvi 660 was easy to get going and allowed me to experiment and learn the features without the manual and without fearing of messing or blowing it up!

The Nuvi 660 does a wonderful little job of picking an appropriate course of navigation and rarely will it not pick the absolute best way to get where you are going. The screen truly is vivid, bright and easy to read even for an old person like myself and I really appreciate the widescreen over the normal size for its larger viewing angles and size of the objects on screen. Voice and sounds are fairly clear and crisp and I have not had an occasion yet where I was messed up on my travels by some sound or voice directions which was a frequent problem on the Magellan Maestro GPS system I previously owned.

I bought the Garmin Nuvi 660 and think it is great, although not perfect and as such I thought I would write a nuvi 660 review to give some experienced feedback to let prospective buyers know a few of its faults.

• Route Exclusion: Sometimes its convenient to be able to turn off the nuvi 660 from using certain streets and such like when there is a sudden problem that makes for a certain road to be unavailable for a certain period of time – construction or natural disaster for example – there is a way to exclude roads but it’s a pain in the butt and I have only been able easily to do for roads that I’m currently on

Wow my friends, I can’t believe that I didn’t buy the garmin nuvi 660 sooner then I did! This thing is great and I was hesitant at first being a stingy old fashioned type and having to calculate how the nuvi 660 gps would eventually end up saving me time, money and frustration. I’ve live in the same city coming up on 50 years and I really thought that I knew every back road, shortcut and road there was to know anyways, but then when I loaded up my car with the garmin 660 I was totally surprised and after abut 2 and half weeks of using it I can certainly see why it is so popular and why it is probably the highest rated of all the units you can buy as of summer 2007.
