Garmin nüvi 660 Pocket Vehicle GPS Navigator

Posted Nov 30th, 2007 by Chief Gizmateer

Welcome to the Geek’s top five picks for the “12 Gizmos of Christmas” countdown. Coming in at the number five spot are GPS units. Last year, GPS units were one of the top sellers of gadgets and that theme will continue this year with GPS units like Garmin’s nüvi 660.

This all-in-one Personal Travel Assistant incorporates a large, 4.3-inch touchscreen, integrated traffic capabilities, FM transmitter, and a super-bright display. The large, touchscreen interface, the nüvi 660 makes it easier than ever to obtain voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions. You can also get route calculation and automatic rerouting if a motorist strays off course. The traffic receiver will notify the driver of upcoming traffic or road construction delays and the delay’s severity. If the accident or construction delay occurred prior to the user programming the desired destination, the unit will automatically calculate a route around congestion.

Gimmie!

Suggested Price: $399.99
