Now you can go from North America to Europe without loading any more maps with the Garmin's transatlantic nüvi 670 Personal Travel Assistant. This pocket-sized personal travel assistant comes with built-in street maps for both continents, making traveling abroad as easy as getting off the plane. The nüvi 670 is loaded with convenience features such as a travel kit and hands-free calling, on top of which it provides you with even more maps and an integrated traffic receiver.

Despite being loaded with features, the nüvi 670 still allows you to navigate with ease. This unit comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded NavTeq City Navigator NT street maps for both North America and Europe, and includes a hefty points of interest (P0ls) database with hotels, restaurants, fuel stops, ATMs and more. Simply touch the super-bright, sunlight-readable color screen to enter a destination, and the 670 takes you there with either 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. This navigator voice even announces the name of exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes off the road, and can concentrate on your driving to keep yourself and your loved ones safe. ln addition, the 670 accepts custom points of interest (P0ls), such as school zones and safety cameras, and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming P0ls that require your special consideration such as speed zones and safety cameras.

And with 1-touch dialing for your P0ls, you can quickly and conveniently call ahead to make reservations or get needed information.



You can also avoid tie-ups and steer clear of traffic with the nüvi 670's integrated FM TMC traffic receiver. This unit allows you to receive alerts about road construction and traffic problems that lie ahead on your route. Simply touch the nüvi's screen to view traffic details or change your route so you can detour around the problem area. All of which can be customized with configurable vehicle icons that let you choose individual car-shaped icons in a variety of colors that show your position on the map. As an added benefit, the nüvi 670 has an FM transmitter as well, which allows you to hear its voice prompts, or your music or audio books through your car's stereo for a fuller, richer sound.



ln additional to all this functionality, the nüvi 670 includes many must-have entertainment and travel tools such as an MP3 player, an audio book player (subscription to Audible.com required), and a JPEG picture viewer so you can take your favorite music and pictures with you wherever you go.

Buyer's feedback: - * Wonderful Product !!! ...
I did the unthinkable and took the unit out of the box when I received it and put it directly into the suitcase for vacation. The next morning it took only moments to have it up and navigating. We successfully navigated several states during our trip. It worked great and is equipped with a lot of high-end features for the price.
We are very happy with our purchase.

Buyer's feedback: - second nuvi
When I started out to find an upgrade for the nuvi 350 which I have had for 4 years, I had no intention in buying a new one. But it was cheaper (with amazon) to buy a nuvi 670 with US upgrade and new Europe (for summer trip) than to upgrade the software. Very happy with the product. It arrived fast and in good shape.

Buyer's feedback: - * Garmin Nuvi 670 ...
The Nuvi 670 was purchased because I frequently travel in Europe. It proved it's value immediately upon leaving Frankfurt Airport, and continued to impress me during travels around Europe. It proved much more user friendly than the high-end nav system in the Alpha Romeo rental car.
The ability to load MP3's, audio books, and photos are an added plus that really impress others. It became the primary source for sharing our photos once we returned to the States.

Buyer's feedback: - Garmin nuvi 670
I purchased the nuvi 670 prior to travelling to Sweden and Ireland on vacation. After driving through the small streets of Ireland I'm a believer in this product.

Ireland has been updating their freeways, so the device showed I was off-roading. I've seen this "feature" in other GPS products, so it isn't just a Garmin issue.

The size/portability, user interface, and intuitive design of the product were perfect.

Now that I'm back in the US, I use the product to listen to books from [...]. Another great use for the product, since the large screen is superior to my previous listening device.

The only negatives are the windshield mount and the Blue Tooth link to the BlackBerry. The windshield mount is a terrible design. It takes a while to find a flat surface that it will stick to. That's difficult to find on a mini-cooper windshield. I haven't been successful linking to the BlackBerry, but I haven't spent that much time. The devices don't see each other.

Would I buy it again - Yes.

This product works great out of the box and it is ideal for those who live in the USA and also travel to Europe. The new version of the Europe maps is very detailed and impressive.
