    Wider screen lets you see more of what's around. Compare these actual size views of a 3-inch (diagonal) screen
    3-inch screen


    and a 4.3-inch diagonal widescreen
    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.

    Content: I love the phone feature. It was very easy to link with my phone and what a joy to be in the car and not have to have an earpiece in my ear that hurts. People can hear quite well and I can hear them clear also. The audio book reader is perfect for the drive to work and back. I have enjoyed many of the features. You dont need a manual to figure out how to use it, it is very "user friendly."
    Summary: Very Happy with Nuvi 660

    Rating - 4 Date: 2008-09-07
    Content: Worked well only a couple small complaints - it doesn't always speak the road and there were a couple of mistakes as far as roads going one way or the other.
    Summary: Worked as advertised

    Rating - 4 Date: 2008-09-06
    Content: Garmin nüvi 660 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator
    I had become comfortable using a Garmin GPS in a rental car last year, and when I did my research, found it came highly recommended. I like the sleek appearance, and aspects such as Bluetooth, which I have yet to use. In the plus column are the ease of use and its large database. We find the voice pretty amusing, particularly when it mispronounces so many words. In the minus column is the data base. Do call before you drive out of your way to any restaurants or other locations with which you are unfamiliar. We went to: a. a barbecue joint that was no longer in business and b. one that was in someone's home (ie - a catering business) before we got wise and called the next one.
    It always got us safely back to our hotels, found us ice cream on a long long drive, and is really great for finding the locations of the garage sales we find in the newspaper.
    With that one exception - this is truly worth the price.
    Summary: Beverly Dr. doesn't mean Doctor

    Rating - 4 Date: 2008-09-06
    Content: Before buying this GPS I did my homework. I checked consumer reports and read customer reviews. It got great reviews so I bought it and I love it. It aquires the satellite signal quickly and reroutes after a missed turn fast. The FM transmitter is great to use if you can get a clear channel. The only problem is the window mount, it doesn't stay up for very long. Put it up in the morning and by night it has fallen into the floor.
    Summary: GREAT GPS

    Rating - 4 Date: 2008-09-06
    Content: Worked great out of the box. Got me around Dallas first week I had it. Been shopping for a new GPS for a while now so when the price on this unit dropped to $300.00 I jumped on it. Bluetooth feature worked great, almost worth the price alone. Wish it had an altimiter which is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars.
    Summary: NUVI 660
