- Garmin nuvi is Fantastic! We love it!
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.

- Good price, descent deal
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.

- TomTom is better

I bought this product after my TomTom Navi has been stolen. Although I was mostly happy with my TomTom I decided for this product because I wanted to have a comparison with other products and also because the Point odf Interest Database in TomTom is not that good.

I rate this product with three stars because it essentially gets you from start to destination with reasonable precision but it has a number of small flaws. Here the details in comparison to TomTom Go 920:

1. Navigation

The TomTom is clearly better. The map data of the Garmin is way behind the map data from TomTom (although I bought the Garmin 1/2 year later!). Often the house numbers are not correctly located. Some streets are missing.
Finally the path chosen by TomTom is the one that is better. The Garmin has a tendency to let you drive long ways on Highways and interstates even if the shortcut on smaller streets is definitely shorter and quicker.
The great thing of TomTom MapShare. This is a nice way to improve the map quality.

2. Displayed information

Again TomTom is better: On TomTom I can configure to see all kind of information such as my current speed, a compass and many other things. I can't do that with the Garmin.
But the point I really hate about the Garmin is the very optimistic time of arrival. Seriously, even if you do a lot of speeding it is almost impossible to arrive in the time frame calculated by Garmin. They seem to assume that you are always driving 10mph over the speed limit and that all traffic lights are green.
TomTom is quite conservative with the Time of Arrival and usually you can do it faster than the device estimates (which is what I find a lot nicer).

3. User Interface:

Ok, this is difficult to say and depends on your taste. The only big flaw that I see in the Garmin is that you can't chose the city by ZIP code. TomTom can do that and often this removes any problems with ambiguous city names and even reduces the streets to chose from in larger cities.
Voice input I did not test in great detail.

4. Multimedia

Garmin is the clear winner in this category. For some strange reason TomTom did not read the SD cards or at least I could not get TomTom playing back MP3 stored on the SD cards.

5. Points of Interest

This is also a winner for the Garmin. TomTom has quite a flat database with only a main category. Garmin has a more structured database that allows for a much more exact searc for POI. For example, Garmin allows for searching for restaurants of a certain category such as Italien, American etc. With the TomTom it is only possible to browse for restaurant names.

- I love my first GPS!
What I love about my GPS:
- easy (very easy) to setup and use
- Hands free calling using Bluetooth capability
- FM transmitter: will push out voice prompts via FM to your car stereo. The traffic alert is also amazing! It prompts you about traffic jam ahead, any accident, weather condition, etc. Unbelievable the difference bet. before and after owning a GPS w/ traffic alert.
- I can download any good book and/or newspaper of the day from Audible.com and hear them in my way to work. By the way, other sounds are muted when voice directions are spoken.
- the NUVI 660 has a big screen and this is a real asset making the maps very readable with a choice of 3D or 2D (depending on occasion you can switch the screen with O-N-E touch!). The street names are legible and important information such as the next crossing street or the next turn is displayed clearly at the top of the screen. Light and elegant design with a classy silver color. It comes with their own case so I didn't even need to bother buying one.

Summary: The NUVI 660 was 100% worth the price I paid for it. I had a choice of buying the latest model but after comparing the new features I realized that I don't need anything else but a reliable GPS that brings me from point A to B.

Well, I have used for approx. 3 months and I'm very pleased with my new toy. I would recommend to anyone who needs the GPS for their main use as GPS :)) To the nerds looking for a GPS this might not be your choice. Try the Knight Rider GPS with original K.I.T.T voice. :))

- Fine for the price
Pros: Bluetooth, easy to update, speaker on unit gets loud.

Cons: Arrived with an incomplete car charger that fell apart when inserted in the 12v socket. Several emails later and I shipped it back to Garmin. They sent a replacement 2weeks after that.
