Comments about Garmin Nuvi 660 Portable GPS System:

Several problems to an overall good unit. They should have a "previous" city feature so you don't have to type in the entire city everytime you hunt for a new address.

FM transmitter is weak. Hard to find a station that it overpowers.

Comments about Garmin Nuvi 660 Portable GPS System:

Really enjoy my Garmin Nuvi 760. Especially like
choice of Jack, or Jill voices. Both have some prouniciation glitches, but mostly with words
like "Chestatee" or "Testnatee" which are local
Cherokee lingo. Abes of Maine was a pleasure to
deal with.

Comments about Garmin Nuvi 660 Portable GPS System:

There are major highways and tollways in my area as well as 100's of streets that do not show up on this GPS. Tried updating from the Garmin website twice but see no improvement. It seems anything roadways built less than 4-5 years ago are not mapped for this system.

Comments about Garmin Nuvi 660 Portable GPS System:

I am on the road for work, a lot. I am mostly in areas that I am familiar with, but the GPS just makes things easier to drive. I don't use it as my only form of navigation, I use it as a compliment. Also, when I have to travel outside of my area, for work or travel, its great to find whatever I need. Directions, attractions, food... There are other ways to get what you need, but the unit is just easier.

Comments about Garmin Nuvi 660 Portable GPS System:

I have had only limited use of this unit. So far its been easy to set up and use. Only negative so far has been some routes that do not seem to be the most direct route to destination. But that may be due to my inexperience in programming.
Overall, very satisfied with Garmin
