Garmin Nüvi 660 GPS Receiver Review

The Nüvi 660 is Garmin’s latest all-in-one sat-nav device, also known as a ‘Personal Travel Assistant’. Sitting at the top of the company’s range, the Nüvi 660 is special because it offers a larger-than-normal 4.3-inch touchscreen display (480×272 pixels, QVGA), integrated traffic capabilities, FM transmitter, and built-in Bluetooth. These new attributes are in addition to the GPS navigator, traveller’s reference, and digital entertainment features.

The Nüvi 660 is a great GPS unit. The super-bright, white backlit screen looked great in our car and was easily viewable in sunlight. The automatic night mode was also a welcome touch, swapping glaring white to black and altering the colours of maps to make them easier to navigate in the dark. Add to that the combination of its slim profile, great functionality and traffic alerts built in, and you can’t go wrong. You’ll pay to get this performance, but if you can stretch your budget you won’t regret it.
