What's Hot

Display, User interface, Size, Solid features list, Bluetooth hands-free calling

What's Not

Address searching order, Sunlight glare can be an issue, Slow re-routing times in some instances, no external volume controls

The Final Word

The nuvi 660 adds a larger display and Bluetooth hands-free calling to an already solid previous unit, but some small deficiencies still remain. Best of all though, the pricing difference between models is minimal, so the 660 is definitely worth the extra money.
