Garmin Nuvi 660 Portable GPS - Review

Wouldn't it be great to have a personal assistant to guide you when you travel? What if that personal assistant could fit in your shirt pocket? That's the concept behind the NUVI 660 GPS system from Garmin. This portable GPS unit, which is only 4.9"W x 2.9"H, may be small but it is packed with features for anyone who travels a lot or for someone who just wants to know where they are going. The NUVI 660 portable GPS unit has a preloaded navigator that can assist you in getting where you are going fast and safely.

The portable GPS unit has preloaded maps or you can upload a customized route for either car motorcycle, pedestrian, bicycle, truck, bus, emergency, and taxi. The GPS system has a colorful widescreen display that is easy to see and that is larger than other NUVI models. You can choose a 2D or 3D map perspective. The NUVI 660 has a touch screen that makes it easy for you to make your choices.

The NUVI 660 auto GPS unit is compatible with Bluetooth wireless technology. That means you can talk to friends and family hands free, keeping your hands on the wheel and not on your phone. You can receive traffic alerts and directions in your headset.

The NUVI 660 will alert you to construction zones, bad weather or heavy traffic. This auto GPS unit will even suggest an alternate route, saving you time on the road. The GPS unit announces streets by name, allowing you to know if you are on the right road. If you are lost, the NUVI 660 auto GPS unit will look up the address and guide you in the right direction. If you want to see new places, the GPS unit can look up attractions and points of interest. You can even call a restaurant or hotel and make a reservation by touching the screen. If you are traveling out of the country, you can purchase additional software such as a travel or language guide.

Do you want to hear the latest tunes or listen to a new audio book while traveling? The NUVI 660 GPS system has an MP3 player, audio book player and a JPEG picture viewer. A built-in FM transmitter on the auto GPS unit will allow you to hear everything through your car's stereo.

The NUVI 660 comes with a rechargeable battery that can last from three to seven hours, depending on how many accessories you use. The unit also comes with Garmin Lock, the company's patented anti-theft feature. Priced at around $900, Garmin's NUVI 660 is great buy for those who love electronic gadgets or for those how want a GPS system that will keep them on the right road.
