Garmin Nuvi 660 Car Sat Nav

I have owned this system for six months. Although it seems a very good unit the extra wires needed for traffice updates and poor mounting bracket make mounting this unit almost impossible without making your car look untidy. The display is clear but sufffers in strong sunlight and is impossible to see with polarised sunglasses. The safety camera updates are on subscription at a cost of approx £35.00 per year. However, all that aside I could live with this unit if it wasn'' t so slow at giving directions, e.g. you will be on route and approching a major junction and entering a roundabout before it catches up, telling you that you should have turned off two exits before. Garmin would have been better ditching some features, like the bluetooth function for your phone, which again is all but useless in operation and concentrate on making the unit refresh quickly.

Been waiting for a while to buy a top of the range sat nav i found the Garmin 660 to be brilliant easy to use straight out of the box, The use and pick up of saftey cameras is very good dont speed my self. Bought this at a on site shopping cannel for £198 bargin, had fm receiver, i thought not a bad buy not looked back since.

I travel 120 miles round trip to work each day on the North Wests busy motorway network. The traffic hold ups can be a nightmare. Therefore I have treated myself to the Nuvi 660, the unit warns me of trouble ahead using the "traffic master" network. The unit can then redirect me around the delay. Speed camera alert comes in handy (although I don't speed!). The blue tooth phone facility means you can use your phone through the Nuvi, make calls, read text messages etc. The unit is packed with other goodies, MP3 player, talking book, petrol stations, hotels, food outlets etc etc. The unit is top end of the market so has a price to match, however I think its well worth the money. For me personally its about avoiding delays and with the Traffic Master facility I'm looking forward to more quality time at home!!

I had wanted Sat Nav for a while as I do lots of driving. I looked at Tom Tom but quickly found that the live travel update was subscription based and required the buying of an antenna. Navman''s high end unit looked great, but had no bluetooth with it. I hadn''t really paid much attention to Garmin until I asked at a shop. The assistant explained the features and it seemed to fit the bill for everything I needed. It''s expensive at just under £400 but what a unit!! Straight out of the box and turned on it recognised my nokia phone and all the contacts! The mounting is very easy to use too, it can be angled in almost every direction and holds the unit firmly. It was really quick at plotting my location, great map layout and the live traffic warnings are great. It plots routes really quickly too and the POI list is impressive. I love the fact that the traffic feature is free, no subscription (tom tom take note)and no extra hardware required (navman take note).

This product has some of the best features as standard it has one of the fastest route calculations that I have encountered together with safety camera and trafic alerts plus mp3 player ect ect,go and get this model
