I continue to research this GPS thing. I have decided on the Garmin nuvi 680. It is being released even as I speak. You can get the 660 which is essentially the same or the 670 which has European maps preloaded. I don't intend to go to Europe anytime soon.
GPS I have found to be invaluable and the stand alone units to be the most practical. What I like most about this model is that it has the same maps as the other Garmin models, you can use it with your bluetooth phones, I use to think people who walked around with that unit in their ears as being so _____! Now I find it as being essential driving down the road trying to steer, shift, drink TEA and talk on the phone. You can answer the phone, talk, dial numbers and access your phone list through the 680. I have become addicted to audio books as a way to pass the time, you can listen to them, ipod and MP3. It has a FM modulator so you can listen to all this through your stereo system. You can subscribe to MSN Direct to get traffic updates and the 680 will automatically reroute you. This is only available in major cities. After being stuck in Waco, TX for three or four hours recently because of an accident I find this feature to be very attractive.
Has anyone use their GPS unit with Bluetooth. How does the noise level affect your conversation? Does anyone use the 660?
