Garmin 670 GPS Announced

Remember the Garmin nuvi 670 we had introduced a few weeks ago? Well, Garmin finally took time off from their busy schedule and unveiled this pocket-sized GPS device. Boasting a wide screen and FM transmitter, it comes with cool featuers such as traffic alerts and hands-free calling.
The Garmin 670 comes pre-loaded with street-level maps of North America and Europe. Get a view in 2D or 3D along with voice directions for every nook and corner on the way. It comes with a huge database of POIs for hotels, restaurants, fuel stops and ATMs among others.
The 4.3" color touch screen provides easy viewing (well, you better concentrate on the road and not the device!). Thanks to the integrated MP3 player, your journey just got a bit more interesting. You can even pair the nuvi 670 with your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone for hands-free calling.
With an FM TMC traffic receiver, stay up-to-date on the road ahead, with options to detour in case of traffic pile-up or road construction. There's also an audio book player and JPEG image viewer. The device can take in SD cards for switching between languages or taking on travel guides on your next road trip.
The Garmin 670 features a USB interface. Priced at US $1,178.56, this cool device is available in Q1 2007. Check out the feature set in the extended entry.
