Summary: Nuvi 680
Comment: I purchased two for Christmas gifts for my son and daughter. They love them. I have a Nuvi 660 and would not go anywhere without it.

Summary: Garmin nuvi 680
Comment: This is a good value for what you are getting. The audio sometimes is hard to understand, but you can change the voice to one that is more understandable. The ability to add more memory is a plus and you can add music, audio books, pictures, etc. The Bluetooth function is easy to use and multiple devices can be added. The simplicity of the product is what makes it great. You also need to realize that the directions are not perfect and if you know that another route is faster, the device will recalculate the new route automatically. We were also caught in a traffic jam over Thanksgiving that would have delayed our trip by several hours, but the detour function saved the day. No GPS system is perfect, but this was better than adequate.

Summary: A great gadget. But a few frustrations.
Comment: The NUVI 680 is leaps and bounds beyond our beloved c320 which was stolen. I got this unit specifically for the combo of the mp3 playerand the fm xmitter and for the bluetooth capability.
First off the MP3 player is marginally usable. It does play mp3's. But it's no ipod. I knew that going in, so I really can't complain.
The FM transmitter is a complete waste for me. Our antenna is in the back of the car, so I'll give Garmin the benefit of the doubt. However, even placing the gps directly under the antenna in the back yielded no better reception. I ended up getting a new stereo with an aux in and using a hard connection. Works fine now.
Bluetooth. This has been a thorn in my side since I got the damn thing. My wife and I both have Blackberries. Apparently the Bluetooth works perfectly with just about every manufacturer EXCEPT BLACKBERRY. After months of living with intermittent connectivity with hers, and no connectivity with mine, I think I may have fixed the problem. Quite simply, I updated the software. This may seem like a no brainer, but when I got it I did a search to find any known bugs, and several forums mentioned that the most recent software was what caused the bluetooth problem, and to avoid updating at all cost. So, this morning I finally updated to the latest firmware and it worked like a charm with both Blackberries. For now.
On the plus side, this unit is quick to find satellites, reroutes almost instantly (though I did notice today that the rerouting was a little slower after the update) and generally gives the quickest route.
The MSN direct is really nothing more than a gimmick, though it did come on handy once when we were going to a movie. The gas prices are generally a few days old, and the traffic function basically just tells you you're going to be delayed. I have yet to have it give me a viable alternative route. We live in DC, so traffic is a constant issue.
The screen is awesome, though seems a bit less touch sensitive than the old unit we had. The brightness and visibility in daylight are great. At the lowest brightness setting, it is a bit distracting at night, however. I suppose this can't be helped.
The mount is miles ahead of the old one. This one actually works.The old one wobbled and often would just fall off the windshield. I also like the fact that the power/data cord can be unplugged from the mount. This is nice if I want to put it in a friend's car, or even in a golf cart.
Now that I have the bluetooth figured out, and a solution for running it through the car's stereo, I couldn't be happier.

Summary: Great Product but beware, Garmin may not honor free MSN Direct trial
Comment: I bought mine used and the reseller was great. I like the product too but there was supposed to be a 1 year free trial of MSN Direct. Garmin said that they begin the trial period on the date of purchase, not date of activation. So, if you are buying from a reseller....who has had the thing for awhile, watch out.

Summary: The Referb Garmin is Excellent
Comment: The Garmin is in excellent condition. No issues with the referb. Not even sure what was wrong with it in the first place. No scratches or screen issues. Software runs well. It has the 2008 maps, so a little behind but easy enough to update at [...]
