Garmin Nuvi 660
The Garmin Nuvi 660 is the first widescreened (4.3-inch) Garmin Nuvi to hit the market, and was launched in late summer of 2006. It keeps with the thin is in Nuvi Form Factor, and offers traveler's aids (audiobook, music, conversion calculator, etc) in addition to navigation. The Nuvi 660 also features a very bright screen that in my use stands up to direct sunlight so that you can see what the GPS has to tell you in the brightest conditions. The Nuvi 660 also has Bluetooth capabilities, and also comes with TMC Traffic standard, with a great little receiver built right into the 12 volt power plug.
Launch
The Garmin Nuvi 660 was originally leaked at the FCC site, and word spread like wildfire around the internet. It was later officially announced on September 1, 2006.
