Bios Magazine reviews the Garmin Nüvi 660, they rated write:
“The Nüvi 660 is a great GPS unit. The super-bright, white backlit screen looked great in our car and was easily viewable in sunlight. The automatic night mode was also a welcome touch, swapping glaring white to black and altering the colours of maps to make them easier to navigate in the dark. Add to that the combination of its slim profile, great functionality and traffic alerts built in, and you can’t go wrong…PROS: Elegant styling; excellent GPS receiver; large widescreen display; real-time traffic info; Bluetooth; FM transmitter. CONS:Tad pricey; no multi-segment routing.”

PCmagazine reviews the Garmin Nüvi 660, they write:
“My road tests of the nüvi 660 yielded no surprises. Like all Garmin products, the nüvi 660 is based on Navteq mapping data. The test routes generated on it were identical to those from other Garmin products and very accurate. The device’s vehicle-routing profiles include Car/Motorcycle, Pedestrian, Bicycle, Truck, Bus, Emergency, and Taxi. Voice prompts were given at appropriate intervals. Garmin’s text-to-speech converter announced street names accurately.”
