    The Good: The Garmin Nuvi 660 offers an accurate GPS receiver, text-to-speech functionality, and traffic capabilities. The versatile system also features a gorgeous display, integrated Bluetooth, travel tools, and multimedia functions.

    The Bad: The device is expensive, and there are no external volume controls. The system also doesn't support multidestination route creation.
