The nuevi 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 nuevi 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 (POIs) 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.

In addition, the 670 accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras, and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs that require your special consideration such as speed zones and safety cameras.

By integrating Bluetooth wireless technology with a built-in microphone and speaker, you can pair your nuevi with any compatible Bluetooth phone and talk hands-free while staying focused on the road. You no longer have to fumble with your phone's handset to answer a call or dial a number, just tap the 670's screen and you're instantly connected. And with 1-touch dialing for your POIs, 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 nuevi 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 nuevi'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 nuevi 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.
In additional to all this functionality, the nuevi 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.

The MP3 player lets you browse music by artist, album, and/or song, while the optional audio books may be purchased from Audible.com which features over 70,000 hours of audio programs. What's more, the nuevi 670 allows further customization via optional software such as travel guide, savings programs and language translation on plug-and-play SD cards for all your travel needs.
The Garmin nuevi 670 comes with a built-in, high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, and lets you view and operate it via its bright, LCD TFT touch-screen, wide-screen display that measures 4.3 inches (diagonal) and has a resolution of 480 x 272 pixels with 64,000 colors and a white backlight.

NUVI 670October 6, 2008 The Garmin Nuvi 670 is a great product! I bought it for my wife, and she was able to use it successfully immediately after opening the box and charging it. It is quite small and easily carried and stored. She now takes it everywhere, and it has not disappointed us at all. Satellite reception is good anywhere in the car.
We have a Garmin Street Pilot, and quite using it because it was too much trouble to set up and not that easy to use. This model is much, much better.
I have a navigation system built into a Toyota Camry, and the Garmin provides much better route selection and more useful information than the built-in system, despite being much smaller.
I highly recommend it!
Garmin Nuvi 670October 1, 2008 Our family makes several trips to unfamiliar areas every year; and, while there, we like to travel by car. A relative bought a Garmin GPS for such purposes and found that it was very beneficial, even in her own city. After much research we decided upon the Garmin Nuvi 670, since it had the European feature. We used it while in the Yellowstone National Park area and were sold on this system. Later we found that it worked very well as we traveled to various cities in Germany. Our German friends decided that they wanted to purchase this same system for their travels in Europe, Canada, and the USA. Therefore, we left our GPS with them and later purchased this same item when we returned to the USA.
We enjoyed the various features of the Garmin Nuvi 670. Also, we purchased the Portable Friction Dashboard Mount and found that it was a great accessory for our GPS. All of our purchases were made via Amazon, and we were very pleased with their prices and service.
Nuvi 670 after a four weeksSeptember 30, 2008 I bought this device as it came with the North American and Western European maps. I've used it Colorado, and the Canary Islands. I like the screen, the accessory functions, and the voice prompts. The device does have the limitations of the breed -- sometimes pins you to the wrong, but near-by street, maps are not quite up to date as I would wish with regards to the status of streets (one-way....) Battery life as advertised is fantasy. The mp3 player playing with coordination with the voice prompts through the FM radio is a high point.
Cheers Bob
Great product, easy to use, maps of UK very accurateSeptember 30, 2008 We used this Garmin to explore the UK and it was very accurate and easy to use. We undoubtedly saved lots of time finding our way without having to use printed maps or stop to ask directions. "Hartley" (yes, people name their GPS devices) was a life saver in those famous roundabouts. Have also used it driving to and walking in Chicago (last minute passport scramble)and it was great on both levels. Very 'green' device, no more need to print maps.
GPS or swiss army knifeSeptember 28, 2008 I bought the nuvi670 from Brazil and it was delivered 24hs latter to my wife while she was traveling in US, excellent service.
It is very simple to use and usefull on the road, you always know where you are, you can load your favorite songs (mp3 files) and use it as hands free mobile phone with excellent sound quality and safety while driving.
I got location precision up to 4 meters on the road. Now I have to buy the Brazilian map to be able to navigate within Sao Paulo and other major cities.
