The display also helps you control hands-free calling, traffic alerts, and the FM transmitter, all from the screen of your personal travel assistant.

Tune your car’s radio to the appropriate station and you’ll hear all the bluetooth portable GPS navigator’s audio, including voice prompts, MP3s, audio books, and more, directly through your car stereo system.

Garmin nuvi 660 is arguably the best GPS navigator product on the market. The only reason you may want to hold off a purchase is to wait until they make these devices thinner and lighter so you can carry one easily in your pocket when you take out of your car. The biggest flaw so far in the Garmin nuvi 660 is the failure to give you the heads up on when to exit on a highway before you are a few hundred feet from the exit. The navigator can only read MP3 files. The .wma format doesn’t work so you’ll have to convert all those files into MP3 before you can load them into your GPS. The battery life is less than 2 hours, but a cord is provided to plug into the car. While the street map is pretty complete, there are some quirks with navigation. Overall this unit has been great. Be sure to update the firmware when you receive it. All the needed software for nuvi 660 can be found on the Garmin website.
