Another new day, another new GPS device. This time it’s the Garmin nuvi 660 which has 4.3-inch touch screen, integrated traffic capabilities, FM transmitter, and a super-bright display. The new navigational device combines the best of the nuvi legacy and some new features. Thus making it an one stop solution for all in-vehicle navigational needs.

The Garmin nuvi 660 is outfitted with a touchscreen interface and one can receive voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions with ease. There are also facilities like route calculation; and automatic rerouting if someone strays. Via the integrated traffic receiver one can receive traffic updates like accidents and road construction delays. It will also provide an alternative route to the user. However for this one has to subscribe to the Total Traffic Network(TM) service in the US.

Apart from cutting edge navigational features the new Garmin nuvi 660 has a host of multimedia features. There is a FM transmitter and one can also playback MP3 and audio books. Then thanks to the Bluetooth capabilities in conjunction with the integrated microphone and speaker one can indulge in some good old hands-free calling. Phone numbers can also be looked up without any hassles on the display as well as alls received, calls dialed and calls missed. Through the nuvi's points of interest database all important information regarding hotels, restaurants, and gas stations are at the drivers fingertips.

The Garmin nuvi 660 all-in-one portable GPS device provides further enhanced functionality thanks to applications like Garmin Travel Guide(TM), Garmin Language Guide(TM), and Garmin SaversGuide(R). These guides are optional and can be stored on a SD card and gives vital info like restaurant and hotel reviews and recommendations, the latest discounts and schemes and also can translate information in five different languages. For all those dirty rotten scoundrels the Garmin Lock(TM), a theft prevention system would suffice.

The nuvi 660 will see a September release and comes bundled with suction cup mount, GTM 20 (North America) or GTM 21 (Europe) FM TMC traffic receiver and 12-volt adapter (nuvi 660 only), AC power cable (nuvi 660 only), PC/USB cable, owner's manual and quick reference guide.
