Garmin - Nuvi 660 Review

I used to use a PDA with a GPS Software program that required a separate receiver which could easily get forgotten or lost.  Since I travel a lot for business, this all inclusive unit is perfect to move from vehicle to vehicle.  With the blue-tooth feature you can link your cell phone to it and conduct hands free calls (business and otherwise) easily while driving.  The memory card slot allows you to take along your favorite music (no need to search for radio stations in the area or tote CD's) and/or photos for showing off.  Usually I use the British male voice (Daniel) since I'm married to one, but it takes a little getting used to him calling Dr. as doctor instead of drive. Maybe that's just a bit of that British humor.  My husband bought a smaller model with all the same features, but his also includes European maps since we are hoping to go to England next year. 

Yes, the traffic alert is a subscription but very reasonably priced for a year of service.  Just don't spend the money if you don't live in a somewhat major city as not all areas transmit this information.  Also, I've found that by the time you approach the troubled area the problem is usually cleared even though it is still reporting it.  Usually you receive a free trial period to try out.  All in all it's a great item and worth the investment.
