it is a good option October 16, 2008 J. Almeer (FL, USA) it is a good Navi device, and it has north us and Euro maps, which i believe is a v good travel kit.
Disappointing October 15, 2008 Munsifali Rashid (Orlando, FL, USA) Bought this item to replace my old GPS device, a TomTom One V1 which was several years old with outdated maps, and somehow managed to get it's screen calibration messed up, with no way to recalibrate the device. The Garmin Nuvi 670 feels like a solid device and is well constructed, though after using it for a few weeks, it really does feel inferior to the TomTom in many ways. Cons: - No battery meter, and no warning when it's low. The device just shuts off, which is very annoying when driving. - Power plugs into mount instead of device. Combined with the point above, where the device just shuts off, this is a big inconvenience. - No option to enter address by zip code. You have to go through the whole country, city, state process every time. - Software feels less advanced than the TomTom, with fewer customization options. For example, one nice thing on the TomTom was the option to customize which information was displayed on the main screen (speed, estimated time left, etc). Although the Garmin has a nice big screen, there's no way to adjust the information displayed, and getting additional information requires tapping on the screen, and then tapping back to return to the map. I'm strongly considering selling this and switching back to one of the newer TomTom devices instead.
nuvi 670 is a good gps October 13, 2008 P. Mauritz (oh) the GPS works fine ,but i had a problem with amazon promising me that the nuvi 670 had the newest map programs in it. that was incorrect .by contecting garmin customer service , i was able to down load the newest us and European maps at no charge.if you looking for friendly ,patient,and knowledgeable people,go buy a garmin.--------p.s.the only problem i had with the navagation was ,when it came to your designation point the nuvi some times made a mistake between left or right side of the street for your arrival .the other problem was it did not have the routes and streets that had been constructed 3 years ago.i am sure garmin will correct these minor program problems.-----paragon Pete
A Lot for the Money October 12, 2008 G. Dyer (Salem, Oregon) Since the 670 is a discontinued model the price reduction on Amazon was tremendous. For less than $320 you get the following features - Spoken street names (although they often indistinguishable via computerized voices) - Bluetooth cell phone reception (with a bluetooth phone which works very well) - FM traffic monitor (of limited usefulness) - US/Canada & European maps (relative up to date; for the latest maps you get one updated map free and the other must be purchased) - Car & a separate home recharger - Front Window mount - Close to 6 million POI's - Car/Truck/Motorcylce/Walking modes - One way point before end destination - Old style flip antenna (instead of built in) - Very bright screen - Speaker could be louder - I took the unit on a recent trip and it was at least 90% accurate with recent (within the year) roads and freeways often not given. Highly recommended.
Glad I bought this October 11, 2008 Arlington Book Babe (Arlington, TX United States) This is my first GPS unit and I have been very happy with my purchase. We have owned our Garmin 670 for 4 months now and have used it in our hometown and on two out of town trips. When using it in my hometown it has calculated the most logical route. We have used our GPS to drive from Texas to Colorado and back and from San Jose to Carmel and then on to Berekely. It is so nice not to "mapquest" every potential trip prior to vacation. Just plug it in, type the desired address and GO! The combination map on the display with turn-by-turn audio directions make navigating very easy. When driving, we have also planned our meal breaks based on Garmin loaded restaurants along our route. It seems to include most every restaurant, not just chains. I have found that the maps load very quickly. My only criticism is that no manual was included for a first time user. It is fairly self explanatory, but it has many features I would have preferred to read about in advance. Instead I have been discovering the features myself in the car. I would buy this unit again.
