Many people rely on their sat navs to get them to where they want to be and have come to rely on them a great deal, perhaps a little too much. We’ve all heard the stories, the man who followed his sat nav into a lake, the woman who was led onto a train track and the German who was led into a toilet, well maybe that was a one-off, but people have become very dependant on their sat nav and they have become a way of life for many. There are many sat navs available on the market but finding the best one, or the one that’s best for you may seem a bit of a task when you look at how many there are to choose from. The sat navs available all do the same job but there are some that do it better than others. The Garmin Nuvi 660 features integrated Bluetooth which allows you to make and receive hands-free calls, a real benefit in the car and any in-coming calls that you receive whilst driving will automatically mute the voice-guided directions. Other options that this sat nav has are the abilities to send text messages and also to synchronise your sat nav to your phone’s address book which you can choose to connect to via dialling or by voice recognition. The only thing you will need to check out for is whether or not your phone is supported as not all are, but you can find a list of all compatible mobile phones on the Garmin website. This is a Garmin Nuvi sat nav that is WAAS – enabled (wide area augmentation system for better position accuracy) and comes preloaded with maps of all of Europe. The GPS on this unit comes with all of the usual features and abilities that you would expect a GPS to have today and a few extras as well. The 660 includes; voice-guided directions, automatic rerouting, turn-by-turn text and also a text to voice functionality that enables the device to actually speak the names of specific roads as well. The Garmin Nuvi 660 is able to find the fastest route, the route with the shortest distance or off road and if you would like to stop getting lost when you’re on foot as well as in the car then the 660 can help you out there as well as it also has the ability to be used by pedestrians, cyclists, lorry drivers or even on the bus.
