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
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 POIsImportant 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.

5 Star Rating  "Used daily as a GPS."2007-11-23
- Reviewed By Running Bear Transport
I'm what you call a professional driver. As a person who delivers big commercial vehicles, I find myself in unfamiliar areas all the time. The Garmin 660 has proven to be a great asset to me and my drivers time after time. It is fast and accurate. The Garmin has a setting for "Trucks" (as well as othe vehicles, bikes, motorcycles..) it keeps me from driving into areas where commercial vehicle traffic is prohibited. It also allows me to avoid toll roads, where possible. I have used this GPS with great results since June 2007 and have had no problems whatsoever. I took the time to research the Garmin products, and found the 660 to suits my needs the best. I read many reviews that were critical of a GPS because of it's failings as an MP3 player or picture viewer, or because of less than perfect sound quality. Maybe I'm middle aged and foolish, but I use my Garmin 660 GPS as a navigational aid and rely on other gadgets for entertainment purposes. I drive about 1250 miles per week throughout 11 states, and have NEVER gotten lost or trapped in a large commercial vehicle. Because it is small and lightweight, it is easy for me to transport it between vehicles, which I do every day. The FM transmitter function is great so I can patch the GPS through the truck radio crank up the volume so it can be heard. Also, I fly and take trains and busses to and from locations and never have been hassled. It is never in the same vehicle twice, and is very transportable. I rarely go to the same location twice in the same month, so the ability for me to store drop off points as a favorite location is invaluable to me and my drivers. To rate it's ease of operation, I handed it over to my 75 year old, gadget challenged father. Without ANY instruction, he accurately programmed it to a location in another state in less than a minute. I would highly endorse and recommend this product to anyone looking for a full featured GPS unit. I wanted a GPS that was full featured and rugged, and the Garmin Nuvi 660 is all that and more. I use this GPS unit as a business tool, and don't leave the house without it. If you need (or want) a GPS to find the fastest route from your house to the local beauty salon or liquor store, save yourself some money and buy an entry level unit.

I just love the access to any address, & how I don't have to use the web & print out directions anymore! when I miss a turn, it recalculates & sets me off on the right way. People are in awe when they see that I arrived without their help, then I tell them about my my new found toy. Also, the accident info is said when I'm driving, and tells me how to beat the traffic by taking side streets & putting me back on the freeway, I left maybe 50 cars, now I'm way ahead of them! I can't see myself without this Nuvi 660!
 
5 Star Rating  "GPS A Winner!"2008-10-06
- Reviewed By User: A2JUINFCXWCK3M
Drove from Nebraska to Florida for the first time, came back through Atlanta, GA. The GPS was right on, except for new construction or hiways . . . always have an idea of where you want to go and major signs to ensure you are on the right road. If there has been new construction the GPS may get "confused" and have to "recalculate" a couple of times. But, just continue to follow instructions from the GPS and you will get back on track as soon as the program can find the road nearest you.

Especially good when in high density traffic with multiple lanes. The "voice" tells you early enough to "stay right", "turn in .2 mile", "Exit number 2A on the right" and such various other helps BEFORE you have gone by the turn.

Correct addresses of destinations are a must for the best efficiency. We had never been in Atlanta and drove right up to the house of our friends with no stress of wrong turns.

I recommend this GPS, though there are cheaper (less bells and whistles) and more expensive models. This is a great mid priced GPS.

After having a GPS stolen from my car, I love the portability of this one. I just slip it in my purse and go. The wide screen is great and I have not had any problems with it. I have not tried the blue tooth function yet. My only complaint would be it can sometimes be a little bit slow acquiring satellites. All-in-all I think it is great.
 
5 Star Rating  "Does what it's supposed to do."2008-10-03
- Reviewed By User: A19PH73RYJM2YL
I think for what it is, it's pretty good. You put in the address and wait for it to give you directions. It has saved me a couple of times where I was in a place I wasn't familiar with and was going to a place I've never been to before. The FM transmitter is great when you're not in the City. It gets a bit more static-filled when you're in a big city like Los Angeles. The traffic-warnings are a nice welcome, but I know you only get it for free for the first 3 months. I don't think I would really need it since in LA, there's always traffic. But when I used it in Phoenix, it was a nice addition. All and all, a good product and recommended.

I received the gps unit. I did some checking and it said there was a new set of maps for it. I was able to download and replace the old maps with a 2009 set.It took about 4 hours to download and replace the old maps.I haven't used it yet but when I turned it on inside of my house I had all 5 bars light up with green .Not bad at all with being inside and still picking up the satelites.The maps I replaced were 2007.It did not cost me a cent to replace them.The screen is bright and the voice is clear and loud.I will not use it till about April 2009.I will use it for a short trip I have comming up to go to my doctor and I will see how it tells me to go and how good it is.From what I have seen so far is good and I say buy it.The Garmin nüvi 660 4.3-Inch Widescreen is a nice and bright screen.I am only making it a 4 star because I haven't went on a long trip yet.It is a 5 star item.

I'm sure everyone knows the good points about this GPS but most don't know the downsides. So here it is from a person who had a TomTom 920 for ten months and has been using the nuvi 660 for the last three weeks. (When I bought the TomTom 920, its main competitor was the nuvi 660 since they were similarly priced at the time.)

1. Finding a satellite signal takes far longer on the 660. Sometimes seven to ten minutes compared to the 30 seconds to five minutes on the TomTom.
2. POIs don't appear on the map unless you zoom in real close. Very annoying. While I'm driving, I don't see any POIs. The TomTom always had the POIs visible.
3. Customization: There's not much to customize on the nuvi b/c it doesn't do much other than navigate. It's like having a cell phone that doesn't have a camera, mp3 player, and internet access. WHAT'S THE POINT?
4. There's no QWERTY keyboard to make entries for addresses. Really stupid thing that nuvi did. How do you not make the keyboard QWERTY. Quite dumb and insulting to the American public.
5. Can't avoid certain roads during a navigation route.

I'm sure there's more. I'll edit this later on when I get more familiar with the nuvi.

My review of the TomTom 920 is the first one on this page:

4 Star Rating  "Good Results so Far"2008-09-20
- Reviewed By User: AM538YKOTEV1F
We were spoiled with a navigation system built into our car. When we sold the car that item was the one thing we missed the most so this item is a must have. So far we have had good results. I think the best feature is the voice the actually says the street name that you are turning onto so you don't have to be distracted looking at the screen. The feature that allows the voice to come through you radio speakers leaves something to be desired. When you use this feature you can't listen to the radio or the navigation voice will not work. You can use the build in MP3 player but the quality of the sound is poor. It is similar to listening to a radio station that does not come in good. Plus when you set it to go through the radio you must select a station out of range. Then if you travel much that station can suddenly come into range and you must re-set the channel. The blue tooth phone is ok when you have to be hands free but the sound is still not there. For us it is a pain to have to remove the system every time you stop so no one steals it but I guess that would apply to all navigation systems. Overall, we would recommend this navigation system.
