Garmin nuvi 680

Pros: Features, Price, LCD Screen, Format, MSN Direct.

Cons: Robotic voice promts, Price at some locations, MSN Direct isn't as refined as I predicted.

The Bottom Line: A great GPS for the price. If you are looking for more from your GPS than just point A-B directions, The Garmin Nuvi 680 is an excellent choice.

Review: I bought my Nuvi 680 (pronounced Nu-Vee) a few months back as a replacement for my Nextar X4-T and my Garmin c330. The Garmin c330 is a great GPS, but was too bare bones for my blood. The Nextar X4-T, on the other hand, had most of the features that...

Pros: Size, Ease of Use, Screen Clarity and so much more...

Cons: Expensive but worth it, see above in my review.

The Bottom Line: Buy any of the Garmin NUVI series units. Depending on the options you choose you will not be unhappy, you will be glad if you do!!

Review: If you read my other reviews you will see I was the owner of a Magellan Product, it was a GPS. Great Piece of S***.

Now lets talk a few moments (ok if I go through each & every option it will be longer than a few moments..) about the...

Pros: Perfect GPS Function, Integrated Bluetooth, MP3, Audiobook, FM transmitter, Traffic, and EVERYTHING ELSE!

Cons: $650.00 price is not for all, but I wouldn't settle for less at any price.

The Bottom Line: I am amazed/ love it. Check out the new 7XX series in sep/oct 2007 to see if you need new features, but I still choose the 680 over the 7XX.

Review: As an avid RV'er, I wanted a GPS for many reasons. It's nice to have a "pleasant" female voice gently giving directions. It never once used a 4 letter word or called me a name for not stopping for directions. My current WNS (wife navigation system)...

Pros: Lots of features, fairly easy to use, compact and portable, great screen

Cons: Slow to reach "ready" state, power input plug on mounting clip

The Bottom Line: Lots of features for the price. It is pretty easy to use and has a large, bright screen. Reliable and accurate and has lots of customizeable settings.

Review: I had been wanting a GPS Navigator for quite a while but they were so expensive. When I bought my car, it was a $1,900 option and portables started at around $400 for entry-level, so I stayed with map books and MapQuest printouts. After reading...

Pros: comes ready to use out the box

Cons: expensive, if you can do w/o the extras, Garmin 650OR750 is an excellent choice

The Bottom Line: If you like the extra features, and can afford it, the Garmin 680 is for you. Otherwise choose the Garmin 650 which is few hundred dollars cheaper

Review: I brought this item for my husband as a Christmas gift! I was originally going to purchase Garmin 750 because it was on sale at for 450.00 w/50.00 coupon at a local retailer, making it 400.00, but they were Out of Stock. Because I had called earlier...

Pros: excellent as a navigator

Cons: don't buy for traffic info!

The Bottom Line: The only reason to pay this much is for traffic info but I never got it. Buy something else

Review: You could not pay me enough to go through what I have with the Nuvi 680. I mainly bought it to help with work commute. The advertised idea of instant traffic reports was highly appealing to me as the Phoenix commute can be a problem. I paid a lot...

Pros: nice bright screen with a nice and loud built in speaker.

Cons: Terrible service from Garmin tech support. They really don't care

Review: I just purchased this Nuvi680 and found that it doesnt even recognize the points of interest in my neighborhood! The unit I bought my wife does (Tomtom go 910). Hers doesnt have as many features, but at least it knows the neighborhood!
i called...

Pros: accurate, easy to use, easy to update, great gift also

Cons: none

Review: I love my nuvi! It is easy to use and accurate. Being a Realtor, it is nice not to have to use a map or written directions when showing property in a new or unfamiliar area. It has come in handy when I have had to find an alternative route because...

Pros: easy to use, valuable and accurate information, very easy to read, display is clear, colorful

Cons: If you miss your road or turnoff, the "re-calculating" voice can be annoying!!

The Bottom Line: My final recommendation is to buy this unit if you are looking for a good GPS, very good unit for the money that you will pay.

Review: I recieved the Garmin for my birthday. What an excellent birthday present. We live in Tacoma-Seattle area where is it used a lot. My wife is in sales, so she is always going places, so the Garmin comes very useful when she has to go to a business in...

Pros: MP3 audio, bluetooth, size, battery life

Cons: FM transmitter, mapping outside conus.

The Bottom Line: Garmin is the top of this field and this unit has been the most impressive to date. Just the bluetooth makes it worth it.

Review: I started my Garmin experience after having experienced the Magellan as represented by Hertz "never lost" then the in-dash by MB in the ML and finally a portable owned by a buddy. This convinced me to purchase an i3. The i3 was great and portable...
