Digital camera reviews of Garmin Automotive Mount for Nuvi 660 (010-10823-02)
Digital camera Review: Great Product!
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed this after my Nuvi 660 Suction Cup Mount kept failing. This Automotive Mount mated perfectly to the Garmin Bean Bag and stabilized my Nuvi 660 just fine. An added advantage was it allows the Nuvi 660 to move closer for viewing. If you do not like a suction cup mount, this is the way to go.Digital camera Review: I threw half away
Summary: 2 Stars
It's a shame that Garmin won't allow you to buy the individual components in case something gets lost.
I had to buy the whole mount just because I needed the rod connecting the base to the Nuvi 'holder' for the portable friction mount.
Digital camera Review: Item received with missing components
Summary: 2 Stars
Item was returned because of missing parts (adhesive plates). Also, this item seemed overpriced for the quality. Ordered suction cup model for a few dollars more. So far, it's working very well.Digital camera Review: My Nuvi 660 Sometimes Loses Its Mind
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought both the Garmin Nuvi 660 and an extra automotive mount, to facilitate easy transfer between our two cars. The mount seems to work just fine. But the Nuvi has some odd habits.
Sometimes the Nuvi seems to spontaneously lose track of parts of its map overlays. You'll be driving along with no destination entered in the unit and the local street net displayed... and suddenly the road you know you're driving on, just up and disappears from the screen. Other features of the map are still there (e.g. a nearby major highway, local streams, etc). You have to turn off the unit itself, before it recovers its full knowledge of local civilization features.
We also learned that Americans may not wish to use the British voice programs with the Nuvi. We live close to a US State line. We found out the hard way that the Nuvi looks for addresses organized by the nearest "County" - not by US State - when the British voice is selected. The manual did not make this clear when I read up, trying to figure out what was wrong.
Finally, when we are doing a long trip and have decided to take a different route from the one calculated by the unit, it seems unable to recompute the most efficient route when starting in the direction we've chosen. It keeps on trying to force us to turn around and use the original route. I wish there was a feature for forcing the re-compute to look for alternate routes starting from the line of march just selected.
On the whole we're satisfied with the features of the Nuvi and its mounts. We're just hoping that Garmin gets serious about either bug fixes, or a more intuitive users' guide and display selection menu.
Digital camera Review: NICE TO ANCHOR THE NUVI
Summary: 3 Stars
It is a nice mount. Unfortuanatly the Nuvi is still easy to remove. Good if you want to take it in and out of the car, not so good if you would like to just leave it and forget it.
