Fantastic Garmin GPS that Puts Other Units to Shame!
Overall I’d give this GPS a 9.9 out of 10.
Its EXTREMELY easy to use and very intuitive, in fact I never read the instructions and learned every in and out of it in only a day of use.
Its been highly accurate everywhere I’ve gone, and I appreciate features such as current MPH and direction which are listed on a seperate screen or at the bottom if your not currently being guided to a destination.
The MP3 feature is nice, although if transferring songs from iTunes you’ll have to convert them from MP4 to MP3 but not all that time consuming.
Screen and audio clarity are fantastic and probably my favorite feature is that you can simply type in a store or destination under the “Where To” menu and it brings up the desired locations in order of distance, current direction N,S,E,or W from where you’re driving and a phone number, those features combined have saved me loads of time and GAS especially by simply contacting whoever I need and giving me the quickest route all on the fly.
The only thing I noticed is that when it abreviates “County” in a long series of turns at the top banner to Co. it will pronouce it as “Company” which is just a little amusing. & one business I traveled to was actually .5 miles further down the road than Garmin said but I think it may have moved since the maps were published in 2007. But of course thats why they offer updates!
Overall a very sound purchase and well worth the extra $$$ to avoid the cheap models that are less accurate and more bulky! I’ve yet to use the maps for Europe as this is the 670 model however I can only expect the same steller results.
