Digital camera reviews of Garmin nüvi 680 4.3-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator
Digital camera Review: Best GPS out there
Summary: 5 Stars
This Garmin is probably the best GPS out there money can buy. Easy to use, the buttons on the touch screen are large enough that even big fingers like my own can accurately enter information. My second Garmin Nuvi, I would buy it again if my new car didn't have GPS built in- but still great to take with you on vacation.Digital camera Review: Best Nav system you can get
Summary: 5 Stars
check out reviews on Cnet, I did, there is no comparison. I also have 3 friends with the Garmin 680. 700 series is not showing a ton more for the extra dough. works right out of the box, no fuss. I have not looked at the manual once.Digital camera Review: Best Yet
Summary: 5 Stars
Ordered a Magellen and was totally disapointed. It would not work off of adaptors that came with it. Had to keep recharging the battery to use it. Battery got low, it would not work until it was charged back up. Called their Tech surpport and got someone in India that only understood part of what I was saying. Sent it back and ordered the Garmin 680. It is great. It was easy to learn and I've had no problems with it. Called Garmin for info before I ordered and got a person in the USA not India. She was able to answer all of my ?'s and assured me that they will support my 680 even when it is discontinued (Magellen does not, IE: my old 760). Keep it up Garmin and I will buy your products again when we update our 680.Digital camera Review: Best one yet

If you can get one, do it. The very best GPS you can have.Digital camera Review: Buy a cheaper model
Summary: 3 Stars
The exta features of this unit over the 650 are all questionable, starting with the big one, MSN direct. I supposedly live in the coverage area. That is iffy. The traffic data is very poor in the Dallas area. Even if it were better, the updating is too slow for a commuter who doesn't keep it hooked up before leaving. I echo the other comments about inaccurate gas price data. I won't renew when the free year is up.
I tried once talking to my wife using the Bluetooth, she said the echo was so bad she wouldn't talk to me if I used it again. The FM transmitter is useless in a city.
The route planning isn't great, but it will get you there. The logic doesn't account adequately for traffic or traffic signals.
Save your money and buy a 650.
