Amazon.com Product Description
With a gorgeous widescreen display, the Garmin nüvi 660 GPS Personal Travel Assistant is your answer to the call of adventure.

This map database features nearly six million points of interest (POIs), including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions, and the data is provided by NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping.This preloaded navigator brings all this fantastic map data to your fingertips with a super-bright, 4.3-inch widescreen display for improved map viewing, day or night. Use the touch screen interface to select destinations, look up POIs, and play your favorite MP3s and audio books. The display also helps you control hands-free calling, traffic alerts, and the FM transmitter, all from the screen of your personal travel assistant.

Wider screen lets you see more of what's around. Compare these actual size views of a 3-inch (diagonal) screen

and a 4.3-inch diagonal widescreen
4.3-inch screen
Widescreen -- See Better, See More
The widescreen format gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push.

FM Transmitter -- Hear Better, Hear More
Instead of straining your ears to hear turn-by-turn directions or your favorite MP3s, you can enjoy wireless FM audio transmission via the nüvi 660's wireless FM transmitter. Tune your car's radio to the appropriate station and you'll hear all the nüvi's audio, including voice prompts, MP3s, audio books, and more, directly through your vehicle's stereo system. The nüvi 660 includes many "must-have" entertainment and travel tools, including digital music and audio book playback, JPEG picture viewer, currency converters, and more. All these great features make the nüvi 660 a complete Personal Travel Assistant.

First Rate Map Data
The nüvi 660 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps, including a hefty POI database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping.

In addition, the nüvi 660 accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs

Important note about map updates: Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our Garmin Store.

Hands-Free Calling
In more and more places, it is becoming illegal to use cell phones while driving without a hands-free kit. The nüvi 660's Bluetooth capability, microphone and speaker lets match it to any bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nüvi's touch screen keypad to make a call on a compatible phone. To answer an incoming call, just tap the screen and speak into the built-in microphone. Making and taking calls on the road has never been easier, or safer. In addition, Garmin makes it a breeze to look-up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or even tap into your cell phone's call history log.

Integrated FM Traffic Receiver

TMC traffic service coverage map
Steer clear of traffic with an integrated FM traffic receiver designed to receive alerts from TMC Clear Channel about traffic tie-ups and road construction that might lie ahead on your route. All you have to do is simply touch the screen to view traffic details and you'll be ready to detour around any problem area. And if you end up missing a turn, or you're forced into a detour that is not relayed through the traffic receiver, the nüvi's sophisticated automatic routing will get you back on track in no time.

In most areas, TMC Clear Channel traffic broadcasts are continuous — there's no waiting for scheduled traffic news updates or random alerts. Because traffic broadcasts are received via a "silent" FM data channel, you can still listen to music or news programming on your car radio without interference from incoming FM traffic data transmissions.

A 3-month subscription to TMC Clear Channel's Total Traffic Network is included with purchase of this device. For more information on subscription fees, coverage in individual cities, and traffic data networks in the United Kingdom and Europe, check the Garmin website.


Easy To Use Interface
Garmin's interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about your trip.

Garmin's own navigation is easy to use

Beyond Navigation

Navigation is just the beginning. The nüvi 660 features travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, MP3 player, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. It also comes with Garmin Lock, an anti-theft feature, and configurable vehicle icons that let you select car-shaped graphics to show your location on the map.

This device is compatible with optional content plug-ins available via SD card, such as the Garmin Travel Guides and Garmin SaversGuide provide detailed data for attractions and information on nearby merchants offering discounts, so you can customize nüvi for your travel needs

Garmin has also added the ability for customers to add custom points of interest (POI's) from third parties such as school zones and safety cameras.

5 out of 5 stars An Essential Item!   September 5, 2008
I bought the Garmin nuvi 660 because we were going on a major trip this summer to Niagara Falls, New York City and Washington D.C., and thought it would be helpful. That was an understatement! It saved us on more that one occasion: When we ran into construction it directed us on a detour around the construction and saved us a lot of time; We ended up arriving in New York City after dark, which for us is scary enough driving during the day! But it guided us to our hotel, and when we accidently missed a turn, it recalculated the directions and got us there with no problems. It has a female voice that speaks the directions along with the written directions on the screen, so you don't have to keep looking at the screen. Of course you can turn the volume down or off. I love this item, and we use it all of the time. Instead of asking for directions to someone's house or a business, we just put in the address and it takes us right to it. One of my favorite features is being able to tap the screen and a list of future directions shows up so we know ahead of time where we need to turn, even though it tells us in plenty of time. (It's comforting to some of us to know way ahead of time.) And being able to search for restaurants and gas stations along the way, and then inserting those directions as a via point. And how it tells you what time you should arrive at your destination! (It's very accurate too. It adjusts the time when there are slowdowns, etc.) Actually I love everything about this product and would recommend it to anyone.


5 out of 5 stars Love my Garmin   September 5, 2008
I love my Garmin 660. I recently took a trip cross-country and it was invaluable and worked even in remote areas. The menu is easy to use and it is very handy to be able to search for gas stations and nearby restaurants. The text-to-speech feature is a must and I wouldn't buy a gps without it.


4 out of 5 stars Great Product   September 5, 2008
Easy to use. Accurate. I love it and would recommend it to everyone. Definitely worth the extra money for test to speech and for the larger screen.


4 out of 5 stars Very Good Product, but not perfect   September 3, 2008
I purchased the Nuvi 660 about a month ago. Set-up was easy, as I own 2 other Garmin GPS, so I was used to it. This is the first one that has bluetooth, and allows a user to connect their phone to the GPS and talk through the GPS instead of using a headset. In theory it is a great thing, but you will find many limitations. I returned another Garmin model as well as a Magellan model because their bluetooth connections were so poor. The Nuvi 660 is better, but not perfect by any means. The 660 also sent me astray one recent trip, and I ended up shutting it off because I was somewhat familiar with the area. Connections to satellites were quick, as opposed to what some have reported. I might just be in a strong signal area. Overall and for the price on Amazon, I am relatively happy with the product and will be keeping it.

4 out of 5 stars Garmen   September 3, 2008
I ordered this Garmin for my husband. He previously had a 200 series with a smaller screen. He likes this one much better and it was a great price. The only problem I have is that the car charger we received did not fit the garmin nuvi 660.
