    Pros: Flat Form Factor, Traffic Integration, Ease of Use, Bluetooth

    Cons: Non-QWERTY keypad

    This is a great unit. I bought the Streetpilot 330c for my Dad and I really liked the user interface as it was easy to used. I can say this because my Dad is easily confused with technology and he is having no problems. When I was shopping for my ...own unit, I new I needed a few more bells and whistle in order to satisfy my needs. Maps alone would not have done this. What brought me to the Nuvi 660 was that in addition to the intuitive inteface similar to the 330c, it also integrations traffic data and Bluetooth hands free phone. These products works as advertised and are welcome additions. Before purchasing, be sure to check to make sure your phone is compatible. Another likable feature is the fact that the voice can read the names of the streets. To top it off, you can change the voices from female to male AND/OR to a different accent (American, British or Australian). You can also change your car icon from different cars, trucks (including Monster) or to different color arrows. This is just fun stuff and shouldn't sway your choice, but it is kind of fun. The only disappointment I have is that when typing street names, Garmin chooses to us an ABCDEF typing pad instead of a QWERTY (computer keyboard) style. It takes me a few more seconds to find the letters I need. Small issue, but annoying. Prices for this unit are falling due to newer products coming out. It's a good time to look as this is a fairly expensive unit. Enjoy Read more Less

    Pros: Ease of use, great recalculating if miss turn

    Cons: Speach choppy

    This is an outstanding GPS that is not an in-dash model. It is easy enough that my parents in their 80s have no problem using it. Easy menus, touch screen. Even my hard of hearing father can use the FM to be able to hear the commands. The speach is ...a bit choppy so you need to pay attention. It has an internal battery so if you keep the car plug in and want to take it off the dash then need to unplug it from the other source to use the internal battery. If you use the electric plug, it assumes you have plugged it into the computer. You need to make sure you get it to charge the battery or go to the map view. When you turn off the engine it recognizes it has lost power and asks if you want it to shutoff or go on battery. It also turns itself back on when you start your car. Only thing I would say it is missing is a remote control. I chose to get the bean bag dashboard mount and it works great. This makes the nuvi not obstruct your vision and is easily movable from car to car. Well worth the extra money. It never slid off the dashboard in nearly 1 month of use. Read more Less
